Fodor's Expert Review Normaway Inn and Cabins

Set on 500 acres in the Margaree Valley, this inn has rooms full of country character, hiking trails on the doorstep, and a music venue in a converted barn that rings with the sound of live traditional music from top Cape Breton fiddlers; performers sometimes play "unplugged" in the parlor, too. Many rooms and cabins have woodstoves and private screened porches. The dining room makes use of local ingredients—lamb raised here, just-caught salmon, and vegetables from the inn's garden.
