Bed & Breakfast

5465 Highway 3, Shag Harbor, NS

Housed in Captain Charlie's House—a classic Gothic Revival home built in 1876 by Master Mariner Charles Nickerson—this fiercely independent bed and breakfast sits on five acres of pristine woodland along Nova Scotia's famous Lighthouse Route. Entirely owner-operated by proprietors Lori and Brian, the property features a private conifer hiking trail that leads directly to 200 feet of beautiful, rugged ocean shoreline. The inn offers a private, spacious multi-room guest suite complete with local maritime artwork, cozy fire pits, and a stellar two-course locally sourced gourmet breakfast that can include fresh-caught local lobster.
