Trout Point Lodge

We spent 3 nights at the Trout Point Lodge in early October to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and had an extraordinary visit. As we drove up the long, bucolic dirt road leading to the lodge, we sensed that we were going to have a very special experience. After being greeted with a glass of wine and a run-down of the many amenities, Cheryl kindly suggested that we take a dip in the hot tub which we ended up doing each day in the late afternoon. How lovely to soak and relax next to the flowing river and fall foliage! The dinners (and breakfasts) were all outstanding as was the service. Since we were fortunate to have beautiful, mild weather, we were able to dine out on the patio and afterwards enjoy the cozy bonfire which Chris consistently kept tending to. We took advantage of the nicely maintained forest trails, the kayaking and the observation deck where the night sky was just amazing! We also enjoyed some great live music one night while sipping on cocktails which the staff perfectly crafted.
We stayed in the Napier room on the bottom floor of the lodge which was absolutely lovely with a sitting area, large comfortable king-sized bed and a modern bathroom with an inviting soaking tub. There were Adirondack chairs outside our room which faced the front of the lodge, but we preferred relaxing in the little areas tucked away on the property which overlooked the water and unbelievable fall foliage.
We had to check-out very early in order to catch a morning ferry, and the lodge provided us with a wonderful breakfast to-go.
We highly recommend the Trout Point Lodge for a special experience where you can unplug and connect with the beauties of the Nova Scotia wilderness.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights for our 10th anniversary. It was wonderful. The lodge is beautiful, the owners and staff are very friendly and helpful, and the room was large, comfortable, and very clean. We had wonderful breakfasts, lunch, and dinners here. For our anniversary dinner we had the five course dinner with wine pairings. It was absolutely great! Wonderful food, especially the duck rillettes and black cod. The wine pairings were superb!

My husband and I visited Trout Point Lodge on a recent trip to Nova Scotia. On the drive to Trout Point, we had thoughts like "does this place actually exist" as we drove 50+ km down a VERY rural road, however, when we arrived Trout Point Lodge did not disappoint.
From the glass of wine we were provided when going through our check in, to the phenomenal 4-course dinners, to the relaxing guided activities such as forest bathing, and a meditation class, we left Trout Point Lodge feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
We would definitely recommend Trout Point for anyone looking for a luxurious yet relaxing retreat.

What a truly wonderful, wonderful place. If you’re looking for a place to unplug and relax you have found it. I had the pleasure to stay for 2 nights (we chose the 2 night getaway package) last summer and I can’t say enough good things about this oasis in the woods. We were greeted so warmly and offered wine when we first arrived and a tour of the grounds. Our room was so sweet with a small fireplace. We had a delicious breakfast both mornings and a 4 course dinner each night, once in the dining room and once outside. The entire meal was incredible and the service was excellent. We chose to do the star gazing tour one night and it was truly magical to look up and see all of the stars in the complete darkness and the guide was very knowledgeable. We also did kayaking and enjoyed the wood fired hot tub. One evening there was live music on the patio that we enjoyed with one of the delicious drinks made by the bartender in the great room. My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. I can only hope I’ll be lucky enough to visit again!
