At this lodge you experience something truly, uniquely northern – driving a traditional sled behind a team of Canadian Eskimo Dogs. Choose from an introductory half-day adventure exploring our miles of trails or treat yourself to a day-long wilderness experience in a magical world of snow and ice. Delight the outdoor adventurer in you! Join the expert “musher” on the lodge-to-lodge excursion and spend several days sledding and experiencing, first-hand, the incomparable vistas of this winter wonderland. Packages may consist of some or all of the following components: Trap line savvy: Mush to the trailhead, then snowshoe to an active trap line to learn how to set traps for specific quarry. Hunter’s Mountain: This physically demanding, unique day trip takes you to Hunter’s Mountain. First, you and your team will climb over 800’ to the Cape Breton Highlands Plateau. Mush across pristine winter wonderland and descend to a well-deserved rest/lunch stop. Later, get ready for the adrenalin on the descent back to the lodge. Lodge2Lodge: This physically demanding, unique 2-day trip takes you to Big Intervale Fishing Lodge tucked away in the Margaree Valley and back - approximately 30 km from the base lodge. Leave the boardroom (and wardrobe) behind and get ready for an expedition across the Cape Breton Highlands Plateau and a mushing adventure of a life time!

This unique Guesthouse provides exceptional comfort in a simple yet elegant setting.
