Rooted in Keltic History

Named in honour of Henry and Julia Corson, the early visionaries who first fell in love with this remarkable stretch of the Cape Breton Highlands, the Corson House reflects an important chapter in The Keltic Resort’s story.

Seeking the restorative ocean air of Cape Breton, the Corsons purchased the property in the late 1800s and established the original Keltic Lodge as a summer retreat overlooking Ingonish.

Today, the Corson House offers a relaxed and comfortable place to experience that same breathtaking setting, just steps from dining, world-class golf, and the natural beauty of the Highlands.
