Margarees

About

The Shed is “in the middle of nowhere, but in the heart of absolutely everything.”

Nestled in the middle of 1,000 acres in the Margaree Forks area, the Shed is the ideal basecamp for all that Cape Breton has to offer. This rare property is the perfect place to get away and enjoy the natural beauty of the outdoors and year-round adventure.

The Shed’s proximity to the top-ranked Cabot Cape Breton golf courses makes it the ideal destination for golfers wanting to experience the scenic views of Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Links. Spend the day golfing and then take a short drive back to your private retreat where you can gather and relax on a beautiful dark sky mountainside that’s perfect for stargazing around a campfire.

Spend your downtime fly fishing on the famous Margaree River, with direct access from our property (nearly 4.5km of frontage). It’s also conveniently located near Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the famed Cabot Trail for memorable hiking adventures. Enjoy outdoor experiences throughout all four seasons, including snowmobiling, rafting, catamaran tours, and more.

The nearby communities offer numerous amenities such as stunning beaches, unique dining options, local artisans, and boutique shops. With key services like groceries, liquor, and gas only minutes away, the Shed offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience.

This modern retreat is a one-of-a-kind option for groups looking for a place to stay or host exclusive events. Book the Shed for your gatherings and special events, including corporate meetings and offsites, wellness retreats, couples retreats, culinary weekends, small family reunions, and more.
