STAY IN ONE OF OUR MAGICAL YURTS
Looking for a unique experience?
These circular, tent-like structures made of felt and horse hair have traditionally been used by nomadic peoples for thousands of years. Our authentic yurts and accompanying furniture are ornately hand-painted by families in Mongolia.
Nestled among the wilderness at Cabot Shores, our authentic Mongolian yurts are open year-round, and most are equipped with wood stoves. On a fine summer night, sleep with the top flap open and gaze at the stars.
There are two wooden yurts and nine authentic Mongolian yurts, nestled among the wilderness at Cabot Shores. Some have incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean and Church Pond, while others are more secluded, surrounded by forest for privacy.
THE HIGHLAND YURT
$225-$250/night
$25/guest after 2 guests
Introducing the Highland Yurt at Cabot Shores — a handcrafted retreat that blends Mongolian design with Cape Breton craftsmanship. Circular local spruce-wood walls built around a traditional tono, bamboo flooring, hand-carved wooden windows, and soft natural finishes create a warm, inviting space. Inside, cozy beds, side tables, lamps, and a towel table ensure comfort, while natural light streaming through the ceiling highlights every handcrafted detail. A private shower and woodstove provide year-round comfort and convenience.
Step outside into the Cape Breton Highlands, where fresh air, forest paths, and ocean views offer a peaceful backdrop for reflection and relaxation. The Highland Yurt combines traditional nomadic design with a coastal touch — an immersive experience where nature, comfort, and artistry meet.
THE CEDAR YURT
$210-$225/night
$25/guest after 2 guests
This spacious yurt smells of fresh cedar boards and is perfect for a couple's getaway or a family road trip. It can comfortably sleep up to four people (queen bed and a bunk bed with two twin mattresses), a love seat, coffee table and chairs inside. A wood stove will keep you toasty in colder months. The skylight allows you to view the stars on clear night. There is a cedar soaking tub located on the yurt's deck, which can be rented for an additional fee. Showers and washrooms are located beside the Cedar Yurt in Whiff's Lodge. This yurt is close to the lodge and parking, making it easily accessible.

Rated One of the Coolest Places to Go Glamping in Canada
"From fully furnished chalets to geodesic domes and yurts, there is an accommodation for every type of camper here. But one of the coolest on offer? The Treetop Village, which is composed of geodesic domes on high stilts so you can sleep among the trees. Each dome offers something different — breathtaking views of the Atlantic, famous views of the full moon and stars. Don’t forget to visit the private beach while you’re there, too."
