About

Nestled in the Cape Breton Highlands mountain range, discover Maple Ridges’ 6 cozy cabins, located next to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park at the halfway point of the scenic Cape Breton Island’s Cabot Trail. 
Maple Ridge Cabins is open year-round and is pet friendly accommodation. It’s location offers gorgeous mountain views with opportunities for adventures within minutes of the cabins. The 6 cabins are equipped with everything a visitor would need for a ‘Home Away from Home’ experience. Beautifully decorated cabins with modern décor thoughtfully placed throughout with a full kitchen stocked with all the essentials (pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, etc.), a full bathroom, a comfy queen-sized bed in the bedroom, and a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room for a peaceful night’s sleep. 
Whale watching, boat tours, kayaking, fishing, swimming, cross-country skiing, cycling, hiking, snowshoeing, and sledding are some of the many activities that can be enjoyed within minutes of the cabins. Winter, spring, summer and fall – there are opportunities for adventure for everyone!  

  • A crackling fire underneath the starry Cape Breton skies.
  • Relax in one of our hammocks reading your favorite book with the mountains as your backdrop.
  • Enjoy your morning coffee out on the deck with the sounds of nature as your morning wake up call.
  • Hike one of the many scenic trails on a hot summers’ day and return to your air-conditioned cabin to cool down. 

These are just a few examples of the experiences to be had and the memories to be made at Maple Ridge Cabins.  

We can’t wait to see you!
