A riot of colour and a symphony of sounds await discerning Trout Point Lodge guests this autumn. In an age filled with constant noise and busyness, enter a world where nature envelops and nurtures you. The sounds you’ll hear are rustling leaves and whispering wind, and the sights you’ll see are as ancient as the stars.
Nestled in the heart of Nova Scotia wilderness and hidden amongst maple, hemlock, pine, and spruce trees, Trout Point Lodge is a lush haven for world-weary travelers searching for both authenticity and luxury.
The drive to Kemptville, Yarmouth County, is a glorious start to the adventure, with farmers’ stands beckoning from the side of the road and fields bathed in golden sunlight. But on the final stretch of Highway 203, where lumbering porcupines outnumber cars, all thoughts of crowded markets vanish.
Drive under the canopy of sheltering leaves and take the final curve in the road to discover what designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan call “an atmospheric log cabin with a build style redolent of traditional homesteads and classic Canadian construction.”
The Lodge comes into its own at this time of year, its massive Eastern spruce timbers the perfect foil to the foliage that envelopes it. With one deep breath of crisp, clean air, the heavy weight of life’s responsibilities slips away.
Welcome to Trout Point Lodge, where autumn unfolds exactly as nature intended. Warm days perfect for outdoor experiences give way to cool nights with the cozy warmth of a crackling fire. Choose to spend time doing nothing at all, just sit in glorious silence amid the wild splendour.
But if a little adventure beckons, there is plenty to experience and it’s all included with room and board.
Canoe or kayak down the clean, clear Tusket River that flows past the Lodge, or try stand-up paddleboarding where the water is still and the current gentle.
Or try yoga in the middle of the forest, where the sounds of birds and squirrels gently cheer every move.
Venture further afield on a guided nature walk or grab a trail map and head out unescorted. Trout Point Lodge is nestled in the Tobeatic Wilderness Area in the heart of the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve - all paths lead to wild beauty. Don’t forget your made-to-order picnic, perfect for a quiet lunch in nature.
Ready for something unique? Join a staff naturalist for forest bathing, an immersive, meditative walk through the woods unlike anything you can imagine.
After a day of adventures, unwind in the wood-fired hot tub, a glass of wine on one side, the Tusket River on the other.
The unspoiled beauty of the surroundings is unmatched by the luxury found within Trout Point Lodge. With just 11 guest suites and a two-bedroom cottage on the property, an intimate atmosphere and impeccable service awaits.
As much as nature is the star outside, human achievements shine inside — especially in the kitchen and dining room. Executive Chef Andreas Preuss and his team create Atlantic Acadian Cuisine that has won accolades the world over. Fresh ingredients grown in Trout Point’s own gardens, fish and seafood caught locally, and beef from neighbouring Highland Farms combine for an unforgettable dining experience.
Before tucking into your sumptuous bed for the night, one more adventure awaits. Thanks to its geographical position in the untamed heart of the province, Trout Point Lodge is blessed with North America’s darkest night skies. At the world’s first certified Starlight Hotel, join the staff astronomer on a stargazing platform lit by the light of thousands of stars.
Gaze in wonder at the Milky Way as you ponder all the questions of the universe. The only answer you truly need is how soon can you come back?
