The Lobster Boat Inn
1 site · Lodging3 acres · Antigonish, NS
The Lobster Boat Inn is located on a hill in the woods in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. It sits high and dry with no water in sight. Thus the serial number: NOMOH2O as it will never float again. Our motto is Off the Grid, Off the Water and Off the Beaten Path!
The original boat was built in 1995, and when found was in need of some tender-loving care. It was renovated in 2022/23 to provide visitors with a rustic, unique, "glamping" experience. It is filled with lobster-themed items that will send you on an imaginary lobster pot-pulling adventure.
Cook on the back deck as you drink in nature, then eat in an original ship's wheelhouse. Our amenities include: comfy beds, fresh drinking-water, refrigerator, interior and exterior bathroom facilities, with a hot shower. If you like, try the lobster eggs for breakfast!
Off the property you will find near by: auto race watching, hiking, biking and shopping activities. Downtown Antigonish is but a ten minute drive. The famous Highland Games comes in July along with the Lobster Festival in New Glasgow.
Sure, you can sit inside and watch one of the many DVD movies, but why not explore nature, take a walk through the woods, talk to your wife, play with the kids, or throw a ball for your dog? If you want to relax, maybe a visit to one of our 19 Antigonish-area beaches might tickle your fancy. Do you want to golf, mountain bike, fish, visit a lighthouse or a petting farm? We have that too!
Take a drive on our new 4-lane Hwy 104 and you'll be blown away at how beautiful asphalt can be. Wide-open highways make for smooth, fast, travel to places like The Cabot Trail or the ferry to PEI. Both are within an hour's drive.
Stargazing is wondrous through our dark, clear skies. If you're lucky, you might even spot the Space Station passing by, as you sit at the fire-pit roasting marshmallows after a long day of fun.

Cabins in Nova Scotia guide
Overview
An estimated 70% of Nova Scotia's population lives in communities along 13,300 kilometers of coastline, which means one thing for Nova Scotia cabins and cottage rentals: There's ample choice among beachfront properties. Cozy cabin getaways include cottages, houseboats, retrofitted vintage trailers, and converted school buses in summer, but come winter, Nova Scotia cabin rentals are just as coveted, ranging from tiny houses to snowy chalets! Travellers can expect cottage rentals to come with decks (and often hot tubs), sporting equipment like kayaks or snowshoes, and beach gear like extra towels and umbrellas. Popular destinations include Lunenburg and its neighbour, Mahone Bay, as well as Baddeck, Yarmouth, Digby, and the Annapolis Valley (which wine lovers in particular will adore). Those looking for budget vacation rentals should look inland—while you may have to drive a bit to enjoy the water, inland rentals often come with more bedrooms, full kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Just remember to pack your bug spray!
