Iron Mountain Wilderness Cabins
901 Whycocomagh Mountain Rd B0E3M0 Whycocomagh, NS, Canada

While we would have loved to invite you to drop into our off-grid pub or hideaway this weekend in the woods with us- enjoying the many temporal waterfalls - our road has been left in an impassable condition for the past week and will not be improving with the heavy rain forecasted, forcing us to close the business and cancel reservations, sadly. Hopefully the Province will see fit to fix the road in the coming week so we can re-open! Either way- we wish all our amazing clients and supporters a joyous Easter weekend!

If you are out playing in the mud and snow on the mountain back roads and trails - stop by Canada’s Off-Grid Pub at Iron Mountain Lodge! Open 4pm today and noon on Saturday. Four craft beer taps from @unfilteredbrewing plus fine spirits, coffee, tea, soft drinks and snacks! Come on up for a hike, snowshoe and tasty beverage #capebretonisland #craftbeer #visitnovascotia #capebretonhighlands #mountainview #scotchwhisky #wine #offgridandtap #ironmountainwildernesscabins #whycocomaghmountain

Best news ever Congrats to Jamie & Shannon. #noodz #ramen #goodeats Hey @bunts when ya coming??

People are coming to natural areas and doing this. This is provincial park land that was donated to the province. This has been a dumping site for years and nothing has changed peoples behaviour. @nsgov please block off this dump site from the road, install cameras, enforce no dumping laws and clean up this mess from your property, pretty please! There is dumping up and down the road. Disgusting and disturbing treatment of the forest.

Meet the newest members of the Iron Mountain crew, our new blue heeler fur babies Islay and Angus. They have been settling in to life on the mountain and are 9 weeks old today. At this time, they love chasing leaves, squealing at each other nose to nose at 4am, wrestling, woodpiles, shoe laces and learning new tricks! Blue heelers take a lot of patience, are very intelligent, and need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to be happy. Lots of work - but the best dogs for an off-grid outdoor mountain life!

We have some of the very best groomed trails in the Province thanks to our local clubs- here is a chance to support them!
