Whale Cove Cottages

A tree-lined lane leads to an open field where six cottages are spread out for privacy, and to take advantage of the fabulous view of the cove and the cliffs on the far side. These 4 hectares (10 acres), the beach below, and the cove are as serene and picturesque as you’ll find on Grand Manan. Innkeeper Laura Buckley maintains that peaceful, secluded feel by quietly operating these one- to four-bedroom cottages, as if each one belonged to the occupant. It’s easy to see why the early-20th-century Pulitzer Prize–winning author Willa Cather built her own cottage here, the one that is now most in demand.
