Built in 1859 by one of the first families to settle in the
Botsford Parish, the house that would later become the Little
Shemogue Inn was located on a grassy knoll about 1.5 miles from
its present location.
Eager to take advantage of the ocean view, the owners
embarked on a project to move the house from its original
site to its present-day home on Shemogue Harbour. The house
was moved in one piece on a specialized truck. The most challenging aspect of the move was transporting
the house across the narrow bridge en route to the site.
The house made it — with barely a hand's width to spare! Once installed in its new location, the house began to
take on the trappings of an inn. A sun room and sun-catching
dormers were added. The outside was refinished and painted.
A wooden
deck completed the project.

Cradled by woodlands and sheltered by Shemogue Harbour,
this historic inn boasts a spectacular view and a pristine
natural setting. The owners have completely refurbished the
Inn's interior, maintaining its rich heritage while creating
a comfortable home for visitors and guests.
