Cavangarden's History and Legacy
Cavangarden House, built in 1750 for the Atkinson family, stands as a testament to timeless beauty and architectural craftsmanship.
One of the things that makes this elegant three-story estate truly special is its stunning location. Accessible via a private drive that winds through a breathtaking nature preserve and across a charming bridge over the Two Mile River, the house reveals itself as a tranquil oasis surrounded by rolling hills and stunning Stack Mountain views, inspiring a sense of peace and connection to nature.
In 1966, Agnes and Michael McCaffrey purchased the home and adjoining 380 acres from the Atkinsons. With a passion for hospitality and a tireless work ethic, they quickly transformed Cavangarden into a thriving farm and beloved Bed & Breakfast.
Today, Donna and Joanne McCaffrey continue the family legacy as the proud owners and caretakers of this remarkable place. With the goal to preserve its originality and heritage while working hard to adapt it to the needs of today's guests, this multi-generational enterprise has become a cherished part of the Ballyshannon community.
They eagerly await your visit and look forward to sharing their cherished home with you.
