Jeddore - Salmon River House Just 45 minutes from the city, Salmon River House was built in 1850 as a settler's cottage. In 1920, it became one of the Eastern Shore's 18 mile houses, a stop on the way for weary travellers. Today, this historic seaside inn still offers the same warm hospitality of yesteryear in a contemporary resort setting with the award winning Lobster Shack Restaurant. Be pampered in English, French, German or Spanish!
