About Us

The Lobster Boat Inn sits proudly on 3 acres of wooded land at 2041 Glen Road, Antigonish County. Her original name, was “Foxy Lady K”. Her new name is “Lady Inn Red.” This name fits her to a tee. Lady, a part of her original name and red – the colour of cooked lobster! What could be a more suitable? Her name is connected to her history, her past occupation, and the colour of the Canadian flag?

I came to Nova Scotia from Ontario, looking for adventure and a new beginning in a province steeped in culture and history. I felt an immediate connection to the lobster and when I had the opportunity to renovate a retired lobster boat and save a little part of Nova Scotia history, I couldn’t say no. My vision was to convert the old weather beaten lawn ornament to a small, 42-ft, affordable, bed and breakfast. My boat would be the “iconic place to stay when traveling to the north shore of NS. It would welcome guests from around the world with a desire to taste a little piece of the Canadian story. The inn could function as a base from which to explore much of this great province or a place to just chill for a couple of days to unwind.

The LBI is now in the process of evolving from a dream to a reality. The old girl didn’t emerge from the ashes of fishing days of the past without challenges. Her assigned serial number is: NOMOH2O (no more water).

Alas, she will never fish again. Too many leaks and scars from: weather, time and the sea. But her reclaimed life holds the promise of new stories and Nova Scotian achievement. Her mission now is to provide a safe harbour for families and friends to reconnect while visiting Antigonish and surrounding areas. It is to provide a fun, unique, safe, economical accommodation for traveling tourists. It offers a base camp from which to visit: Cape Breton and the Cabot trail, New Glasgow, or Pictou.

We are not a motel room, a hotel, a yurt, an RV, or a tent! We are all about “GLAMPING” or upscale camping. Guests sleep in real beds in enclosed spaces and off the ground. We are a boat that is literally: “OFF THE GRID, OFF THE WATER AND OFF THE BEATEN PATH”. Yet we are just a ten minute drive from downtown Antigonish.

Welcome All!
