Perched above the rugged Atlantic coastline on Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore, the Lighthouse Keeper’s House offers a rare opportunity to stay within a historic light station home overlooking the ocean, walking trails, and the iconic Port Bickerton Lighthouse.

Located beside the Port Bickerton Lighthouse Interpretive Centre and steps from the Lighthouse Walking Trails, the Keeper’s House sits within one of Nova Scotia’s most scenic coastal landscapes. Guests can explore shoreline paths, watch seabirds and fishing boats, enjoy the changing weather over the Atlantic, or settle into the quiet of the studio space with uninterrupted time to create.

Whether you come for artistic focus, a restorative retreat, or a unique coastal experience, the Lighthouse Keeper’s House offers a stay shaped by history, solitude, and the beauty of Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore.
