Nestled along the rocky shoreline of Shelburne Harbour, between the towering century old pines, are 5 cottage hideaways waiting for your visit. Boulder Cove Cottages offers the casual luxuries any guest would demand with picturesque Bay views, relaxing airjet or whirlpool tubs, campfire pits to take in the view and nice queens size beds to wake up in.
This cottage is our first. The other cottages were designed from this one so it's special to us. Although it doesn't have the skylight in the bathroom, it offers the guest it's own unique view of Birchtown Bay. The bathtub is two person whirlpool. The campfire pit is also situated so you and a loved one can have your own private view of the water for that romantic evening under the stars.
Named after the area it over looks, the Birchtown cottage is themed with our Black Loyalist history. During the American Revolution slaves were promised freedom and land if they helped the British fight the rebels. When the war ended in 1783 those former slaves who were promised land were sent here to Shelburne Harbour.
Nicknamed the "honeymoon cottage", this cottage has the most private views. It features the skylight over the airjet tub and is designed with a fishing theme because Cape Sable Island has a rich fishing heritage and is the birth place of our famous Cape Sable Island fishing boat. For those interested in birding and our fishing culture, Cape Sable Island is one of the best places to see it all in real time.
The Cape Roseway cottage boasts the best views of Shelburne Harbour. With large mature oak, birch and pine trees the view also looks down on your campfire pit set beside the ocean. Guests enjoy watching the kingfisher birds in the summer months swooping down to catch the mackerel that swim by. Or in the winter months watching the Whistler ducks swimming in groups of thirty or more.

Wonderful cottage, with really thoughtful details. It’s so nice having a coffeemaker and coffee and filters in the cottage, and propane hooked up to the BBQ. The location is beautiful, loved being able to walk along the trail system right from here. And the bunnies were very cute. Super clean and well set up, I’ll definitely be back.

This was a much needed getaway! Shannon was lovely to deal with during the booking process. I stayed in the Birchtown cottage The beds were comfy and the cottage had all the amenities I needed. I loved the… tub! It was one of the main factors for booking. The cottages are nicely spaced so you don’t feel crowded at all. The location is very convenient for visiting Shelburne and checking out local attractions. I will absolutely be back again!!!

My wife and I stayed there 3 nights of may 17 through May 19. The cottages were very clean. And the person at the office Shannon I think her name was. She was very friendly and welcoming. The view was amazing. We didn't want to leave. We will be going back again soon. Maybe this September for our anniversary if there is vacancy. Thank you again boulder cove cottages for a vacation to remember.. A+++++

We had a great stay here a few years ago with family. Cottages are well looked after, very clean and lots of room. Owners are very accommodating. They have kayak, boats and a canoe that are free to use. We had a great time kayaking along the shore. Very peaceful place, highly recommend. Look forward to returning in the future.
