Matheson Farmhouse is in the a peaceful, quaint town of Indian Brook. There is both a restaurant and a tea house down the street from the farmhouse. Craft shops/artist studios and a great cafe are a 10-minute drive away. The tourist towns of Baddeck and Ingonish are both a 30-minute drive and have grocery stores, restaurants, excellent golf courses, entertainment, etc. The farmhouse is directly on Cabot Trail, and is close driving distance to many attractions: Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Alexander Graham Bell Museum, Bird Islands Boat Tour, kayaking tours, and famous hiking trails. Come in the early summer to pick wild blueberries right outside the back door! Come in the Fall to view world famous foliage.

Rent kayaks from the lodge down the street to use in our large pond that connects to both Indian Brook and the ocean. This is a place you will not forget!

Great base to explore Cape Breton

Review Submitted: February 14, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2004
My family of four visited Matheson House for a week a few years ago. We really loved the clean, comfortable, historic house. It was a fantastic, central location from which to explore Cape Breton. We found great day hikes or water adventures every day. We especially enjoyed hiking in the National Park, sailing to watch whales, swimming in the Indian Brook swimming hole, the Gaelic College, a benefit crab dinner at the Indian Brook firehouse walking distance from the house, and returning to Matheson House each evening to relax and plan the next day. It was a family trip with my children, now college age and "gone", which my wife and I will treasure always.
