About us

Our Partners

  • Owner-operators Turk & Cathy provide guided trail tours by side-by-side and by snowmobile. Turk is a certified expert snowmobile guide and our snowmobile tours depart from their new headquarters in Hunter’s Mountain.

  • Mac co-owns CBBA providing on and off road jeep tours in the Margaree and surrounding areas. Mac has joined us at Margaree Weekends to offer guests a shuttle service between the cottages and The Shed. New in 2024 Mac will be offering winter jeep tours and guided snowshoeing.

  • We’ve partnered with Scott & Marco to offer guests the ultimate Margaree Weekends experience, by staying at the McKay-Lyons Sweetaple designed cottages off-site. Perfect for couples looking to enjoy some privacy from the group setting and warm up in the wood fired hot tub.

The Vision

  • To provide a renewed appreciation for winter by showcasing the magic of Cape Breton Highlands through elevated culinary experiences and outdoor adventures for small group tours.

  • We began in January 2022 with a pilot tour to bring our vision to life. For the 2024 season we have made some exciting improvements to our itinerary, accommodations, and have partnered with an incredible lineup of leading chefs and local businesses. We host groups of 8-16 at a time to keep the experience intimate and truly connect with each other throughout the weekend.
