We really enjoyed our few days in Moose Harbour the property, location and views were great. We used one of Helens local tips and really enjoyed paddle boarding in Shelburne.

What a fabulous week we've had!!!  Wonderful water - such a lovely spacious cozy home. Castaway Ocean Lodge has a view to die for.  We loved Shelburne and Lockeport too; very quaint with lovely old house and so quiet and unspoiled.

We have spent the last two weeks in this wonderful cottage. It's old world charm and character, heightened by the scenic view have made for a relaxing vacation. We also enjoyed the wild blueberries! There were many visits by deer; a doe and 2 fawns!

Ross-Thomson House

Description

Ross-Thomson House and Store Museum allows you to travel back to 1780s Nova Scotia and the recently settled town of Shelburne in the South Shore region. Here, thousands of Loyalist refugees began new lives after the American War of Independence. In this historic store, seasoned merchants George and Robert Ross carried on an international trade in tea, coffee, rum, port and wine, while offering both necessities and luxuries to the town's residents. Greet the clerk and step up to the counter stocked with the kind of goods the Ross Brothers once bartered and sold. Spend some time inside their living quarters, furnished in the sparse but elegant style of the period, and visit the Militia Room above the shop where you might meet a 1780s militia guard.
