Tucked into a quiet corner of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, Black Forest Cabins offers a different kind of getaway. Our properties blend clean Scandinavian design with the warmth of Maritime hospitality—cozy retreats where you can slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with what matters.
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend for two or a family reunion in a 200-year-old farmhouse, you’ll find a place that feels like home, in a town that feels like a secret.
Our Scandinavian-inspired studio cabins are designed for couples seeking a romantic escape. Think clean lines, natural light, and forest views from your private deck. Each cabin features a fully equipped kitchenette, luxurious linens, and all the quiet you came looking for.
Learn MoreThis beautifully restored 1820s farmhouse sits on Main Street in the heart of Mahone Bay. Original hardwood floors, three bedrooms, and all the comforts of a modern home—Spruce Top Cottage sleeps six and is perfect for multi-generational trips or friend reunions.
Learn MoreLooking for a place to bring people together? Our rustic barn sits on the same property as the cabins, offering a flexible venue for celebrations, workshops, retreats, or small corporate events. Book it by the hour or for the full day—and if you need the whole property, we'll take 10% off everything.
Learn MoreThree iconic churches, artisan shops, kayaking on calm waters, and a pace of life that reminds you why you needed a vacation in the first place.
From the family-friendly stretch at Westhaver (6 minutes away) to the wild, windswept beauty of Hirtle’s Beach, the coast is yours to explore.
Farm-to-table bistros, fresh-baked everything, fish and chips with a view—our favourite spots for every craving.
The Rum Runners Trail Starts Here
The 119-kilometre Rum Runners Trail—a converted rail bed perfect for cycling and walking—passes directly through Mahone Bay, connecting Halifax to Lunenburg along the coast. We’re located right on the trail, so you can head out from your door.
Ask about our Stay & Cycle Package, which includes accommodation and everything you need to explore the trail.
Warm Up in the Sauna
After a day on the trail—or just because—unwind in our on-site sauna. There’s no better way to ease tired muscles and settle into the slower pace of a South Shore evening.
Whether it's a long weekend or a week-long retreat, Black Forest Cabins is your home base for exploring Nova Scotia's most charming coastline. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to hello@blackforestcabins.ca
