Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort

Cabot Shores Wilderness Resort & Retreat is located at the gateway of the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island. Open four seasons with 55 acres of natural sanctuary surrounding you, each of our unique accommodations and activities offer a new and exciting experience each time. Accommodations options range from Mongolian and Cedar style yurts, geodesic domes and treehouse domes, lodge rooms, chalets, tipi, camping and even a private farmhouse with it's own hiking trail bordering the Atlantic ocean.

Indulge in a cedar soaking tub, infrared sauna, acupuncture or participate in our complimentary meditation and Qi Gong sessions each morning. Enjoy kayak, canoe and stand up paddle boards on our lake with the beach and ocean in front of you while eagles soar overhead. Let us help guide your Cape Breton adventures from mild to wild. We consider our staff guides who can offer advice on your itinerary, suggestions on hiking and other adventures, as well as book your spot on puffin tours, whale watching excursions and boat tours.

Cabot Shores is also specialized for retreats and special events like family reunions and small weddings. Our Bistro offers vegetarian and vegan options with fresh ingredients from our gardens on site. Join us in our weekly cookouts and wood fired pizza parties while the sun sets over the Bird Islands.

During certain seasons, enjoy live music both at Cabot Shores and close by at weekly community Ceilidhs (traditional Celtic music concerts). In the winter, ask us about our bi-weekly music jams; we welcome players, singers and listeners alike. Whatever your interest, there is something at Cabot Shores for you.
