Cabot Shores Has Gift Certificates: 6 Reasons Why

26619742399 0ec77ba81e

 

Cabot Shores Has Gift Certificates  that make great presents anytime–open year round  with unique  lodging, bistro dining, adventure and relaxation as separate highlights or in customizabale  packages. We focus on experiences here, and sometimes the best gift to give is the gift of a romantic getaway, retreat or adventure along the Cabot Trail. Besides packages, this is what your family, friends and loved ones can use a gift certificate for:

Unique & Comfortable Lodging

Gift Certificate Accomadations

Lodging is just the beginning – and we have a wide selection of unique accommodations that range from yurts and geodesic domes to lodge rooms and chalets and the tiny house.

The domes with their many windows and see-through walls are an amazing experience for stargazers and are available in the warmer months. Our Mongolian Yurts and the spacious Cedar Yurt however are also an option for winter. With the fire going in the wood stove or the heater on, our guests stay toasty no matter what. Every room in our main lodge is different, but all come with beautiful original art on the walls, cozy beds and private bathrooms. If you want to surprise a family or group of friends, the chalets can accommodate 6-9 people and come with a kitchen, 1,5 to 2 bathrooms, sitting area and private deck with a hot tub, and with a fire site for camp fires just in front.

Most of  of our accommodations are pet-friendly.

Dining in our Bistro

Gift certificate for dinners

With talented chefs on site, our Bistro offers delicious food year round! Our menu includes vegetarian dishes, local fish and seafood, and hearty chicken/meat options. Guests also love the outdoor, wood-fired pizza oven and weekly summer cookouts.  Let us know of dietary restrictions and we’ll try our best to accommodate.

The Cabot Shores Bistro stands for slow-cooked, nutritious and fresh meals. Lots of greens, vegetables and herbs are sourced from our organic garden just out the door. Baked goods and pasta are made from scratch. And while our guests enjoy the flavours of their dinner, they can sip on local Big Spruce craft beer, Nova Scotian wines or homemade apple cider.

We’re open daily for dinner between 5:30 and 7:30pm and appreciate your reservation at 1-866-929-2584 or online for a  Cabot Shores Bistro Reservation.

Adventures on Land & Water

activities-gift-certificate

Hiking, snowshoeing, boating – if your loved ones are outdoorsy, they can do all that right here or in the wilderness close-by. We offer guided hikes to less known mountain summits or hidden caves, lush forests and waterfalls.

With our selection of canoes, kayaks or stand up paddle boards, guests can explore Church Pond and Indian Brook right at the resort. They might see an eagle flying over them or find the beaver dam, stop for a swim or enjoy fall foliage from a different perspective.

Healing Arts & Retreats

healing-arts-gift-certificate

We welcome guests for a number of reasons, and stress relief is at the top of the list. Other than the natural benefits of being in a pristine outdoor environment, Cabot Shores offers a number of Wellness and Healing Arts services that can be applied individually or in a group setting. Acupuncture and acupressure is among the most popular, along with complimentary morning sessions of guided meditation and Qi Gong (a practice similar to that of Tai Chi). We also offer interesting guided practices such as outdoor walking meditation, yoga and wellness retreats.

Wellness Amenities

amenities-gift-certificate

To detox and relax after a long day of exploring, guests can book sessions in our infrared sauna. To treat sore muscles, warm up after a snowshoe hike or simply enjoy the night sky, imagine an evening in a Japanese Ofuro Cedar soaking tub or classic hot tub – right on the deck of your accommodation or nestled between trees with pond and ocean views.

Great Food and Music

Great food and live music is also a draw for guests.  Consider a gift certificate  for a frequent Saturday night event at Cabot Shores:  a three course dinner, concert and music jam.  See the Events section for the schedule.  And check out the most recent artist(s)  coming to Cabot Shores

Holidays at Cabot Shores

Many families decide to take their holidays away from home, to give the designated family or resident cook a break from cooking.    Whether over Thanksgiving weekend during Celtic Colours and the changing Foliage of October, or the last week of December culminating in New Year’s Eve and a New Year’s day polar bear swim or Valentine’s Day or in summer kicking off Canada Day weekend, there is fun at Cabot Shores and a gift certificate is just the ticket.

Why Buy  Gift Certificates at Cabot Shores?

We are counting on you only to gift to people who you think would enjoy the Cabot Shores experience.  We are not for everyone, offering comfort at the edge of the wilderness.  It is not a great place for satellite tv,paved driveways or big swimming pools with floating bars.

We are on the Atlantic coast of the Cabot Trail, along the Atlantic.  There are strong winds, there is abundant wildlife, there is a great beach and a pathway to waterfalls in the highlands, but you have to get here and you’ll occasinally meet other amazing guests, often the recipients of gift certificates that give them FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS of where to stay, when to stay, and what to do when on Cape Breton along the Cabot Trail at Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort.

Stayed in the Blue Cabin -- cozy but adequate for our family. Dinner was surprisingly delicious, including tasty fresh salad with beets and whipped feta, perfect mussels, and delicious salmon and steak. Friendly staff and excellent guitar music (live). Tasty buffet breakfast included frittata, homemade yogurt and jam, home-baked bread and more. In short, the food and live music were outstanding, the accommodations just adequate.

If only I could rate them more than 5 starts, I really would.. This is our 2nd time in Cabot Trail and we will definitely be staying here again when we visit Cape Breton this fall! The Yurts we’ve stayed in were always so clean and beautiful. The owner, Paul, accommodated us so kindly with all our needs and more. It felt like we were just visiting a relatives home lol. The staff, most especially Katie, were so patient and helpful to us. Everyone here just goes above and beyond for their customers! I would recommend this to anyone who plans to visit Cape Breton. BONUS: THEY’RE OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND! ANOTHER BONUS: THEY HAVE THE BEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE (Made by Paul’s wife)!!!!

Wish we could give more stars 🌟 Service was top notch! Everyone was friendly, accommodating and informed about local interests. Food was mouth watering- recommend the seafood and homemade yogurt. Waves each morning were breath taking...highly recommend asking to do local hikes. Kids enjoyed games, sauna, hot tub and rooms felt very spacious. Will definitely return!

I attended a wilderness healing retreat and that experience completely changed my life. The low reviews are not a far representation of the authentic and high value experience being offered.

We spent three nights attending a relative’s wedding in early September at this wonderful resort conveniently located right on the world-famous Cabot Trail. We stayed in one of the main lodge rooms which had spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean from the window. The resort has a vast property overlooking beach that also includes an apple orchard and organic vegetable garden leading to the shores of the Atlantic. The amazing staff led by the owners Paul and Barbara are very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The food at the wedding reception prepared by the in-house team was so delicious. There are also plenty of options for breakfast and lunch nearby serving a variety of cuisines with Cape Breton flair and friendliness. We highly recommend the Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort for anyone planning a visit to Cape Breton Island!!!

We had our wedding at this beautiful venue in September, 2022. Our experience was amazing. Paul, Barbara, and the crew was super helpful from the planning stage all the way until we checked out after the event. The location of this property is unbeatable. We had our wedding ceremony in between two chalets - Red and Blue - overseeing the Atlantic Ocean. We booked three chalets and rooms at the main lodge for our guests and some of the guests rented yurts. The crew at Cabot Shores organized a bon-fire on the night before the wedding and organized a cookout with brick-oven pizzas that was out of this world! The food for the wedding was prepared by the chef of Cabot Shores - Ron - and it was superb. Paul and Barbara also organized local musicians for the event and Flo and her group was fantastic! We have nothing bad to say and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and the natural beauty of the location. We highly recommend this lovely place to anyone planning their wedding or vacation.

We stayed for 3 days at this amazing resort during the end of summer 2022. A great resort with many activities and you can easily access the Cabot shore trail. There are many close by boutique restaurants too for breakfast, brunch or lunch. But you definitely need to try resort's food too which might come from there organic garden to your plate. Their wood fired pizza is so good. During the last day at our stay, we had a wedding of one of our close friends, at the resort. The food was so delicious. The staff was really helpful. I love their compost bin, vegetable beds and mushroom garden too. They have so many isolated yurts which is really great for star gazing and to see the milky way. The little ferry at the river is such a great way to reach the private beach of the Atlantic ocean. We are visiting again, hopefully next year!

Very nice people and a place full of joy ! Stayed 2 nights in the „Eagle dome“ which was really comfy and clean! Had really delicous dinner at the main lodge where paul played some music just for us and had nice conversations whith him and the other staffmembers. Also booked the hot tub at our dome for our last night from where we had a great view on the campfire. Lovely place where you see how much effort they put in every detail.

Very nice place to spend a couple of nights in the nature! My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It might be a good idea to install a heater in the dome as it can get chilly at night.

We had a great stay in the Eagle Dome! We loved watching the sunset and sunrise, and being able to hear the waves from the ocean. Next time we would stay a few more days and prepare a bit better - we weren’t packed for off grid but we made it work. Outhouse was a few steps away, shower and toilet a short walk. We didn’t get the hot tub or use the sauna/other amenities but would certainly consider it next time.

This place is absolutely beautiful! We loved our stay here. I highly recommend it. All the staff are very friendly. The dome was such a unique experience looking at the stars and watching the sun rise. The beach is beautiful and there’s a little swimming spot 2 minutes down the road that we really enjoyed 🙂
