Trout Point Lodge

We have gone to the Lodge twice. The first time was great, the second time post pandemic was not so great. Bugs in the room, too warm and too pricey. We felt stuck due to the heavy rains and inability to hike. I think it will be hard for them to stay in business with climate change. Won't be visiting again.

Hospitality. Cuisine. Serenity. My wife and I chose Trout Point Lodge for our annual getaway, and it exceeded all our expectations. Nestled in its own little oasis, the lodge offers a perfect blend of warm hospitality, delicious food, and tranquil surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like friends, taking good care of our needs with genuine care. Some standout moments included stargazing under a breathtaking night sky after a very nice dinner—something we’d never experienced before. The guided explanation of the constellations added a fascinating touch. Another highlight was the very peaceful forest walk - where we had the chance to recalibrated ourselves, followed by unwinding in the outdoor hot tub and sauna. When you combine all of this into one weekend, it becomes an truly unforgettable experience. We have absolutely no complaints. Every aspect of our stay was wonderful, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Thank you, Team Trout Point, for creating such a magical experience!

My wife and I had such an incredible honeymoon at Trout Point Lodge! Staff were beyond accommodating and made us feel so comfortable at all times. We took part in so many activities while we were there including stargazing, forest bathing, hiking, kayaking, hot tub and sauna, cold river plunge, massages, and yoga. Our room was immaculate and luxurious but still rustic which we loved. The food is to die for, every meal was such a fun experience! We enjoyed all the hot beverages available as well as going to the lodge for tea time snacks. The cocktails were delicious and I enjoyed some bottles of local Rummed Cider. The staff were really a highlight for us, such a fantastic team! We can't wait to come back

We spent 2 nights at the Inn, staying the main lodge. I can’t recommend it enough - our room was quiet and comfortable, we had two amazing, gourmet dinners, and we enjoyed a paddle board meditation experience and mushroom identifying walk with the naturalist. The outdoor hot tub is fantastic. It was too cloudy to star gaze, but I have no doubt that it’s magical. It really feels like you’re away from it all and the staff went out of their way to make us happy. We hope to return!

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!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Trout Point Lodge recently, and had an absolutely magical and relaxing time!! From the moment we stepped inside, we were charmed! It was exactly what we were hoping for - the coziness of a rustic lodge with the luxury of a high end resort. We were able to detach and enjoy the quiet of a Canadian backcountry, but be spoiled with amazing food, activities and services when we want to connect. We tried new experiences like Forest Bathing which was grounding and very healing for me, a wooden hot tub overlooking the Tusket river with a Finnish sauna nearby, and amazing Star Gazing where we saw Saturn, Jupiter, Polaris the North Star, a shooting star (!), the Milky Way, Cassiopea and so many other constellations! I am an avid traveller and have stayed in many many different places and I can absolutely say that Trout Point Lodge stood out as a unique and special place that I will not easily forget. Can't recommend this truly outstanding place enough

We ended our exploration of Nova Scotia and a week long bike ride on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton with a two night stay here and it couldn't have been a better ending to celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary. Overall the hospitality was fabulous and the room we stayed in beautifully decorated and timeless. The food was exquisite with the chefs lamb shanks melting in our mouths and the daily pastries by Wendy having us suggest a cook book should be forthcoming! We would rush to purchase! The wait staff were also so engaging and we loved having an opportunity to talk with them a bit in-between courses. We took a 7 mile hike up to Billy's cabin in the Tobeatic Wilderness area, on a trail that was sometimes delightfully overgrown, learning about the history of the area and its flora and fauna . Our personable and informative guide, Nicola made this part of our stay extra special! We couldn't have done this hike without her! The outdoor hot tub and sauna by the river was a magical night time experience. After breakfast our last morning, we took out a canoe and explored the upper part of the river for about an hour, wishing we had more time. It was so quiet and we noticed that both on the hike and on the river we heard very few birds. Maybe concrete evidence that world wide, birds are disappearing at a rate that is beginning to be noticeable. Finally, thank you for accommodating a change in our reservations at the last minute due to a flight snafu. If we weren't so far away ( Washington State) we would return!

My wife and I stayed at the lodge for our tenth anniversary. We had a wonderful time! The room (we were in the Wildflower Room) was large, comfortable and very clean. The lodge common areas and outdoor facilities were great. Staff and owners were super friendly and helpful. We ate two dinners, a lunch, and two breakfasts there and all were delicious. We had the five course meal with wine pairings for our anniversary dinner and it was just plain wonderful! Ocean, the sommeliere, was very good both in the wines she chose for us and in explaining why she chose each wine to go with each dish. Highly recommended.

There are 2 different ways to arrive at the lodge. We took the more desolate route. It is about 30 - 45 minutes from the town of Shelburne along this route in which we came across two bear cubs on the road. We arrived late in the evening around 9 PM. The lodge is in the middle of the forest so you have to travel down a dirt road to reach it. We were greeted promptly with a glass of wine. The lodge is decorated nicely. We sat outside by the fire pit. It was a little buggy and it would have been nice if the citronella candle torches were lit. We wanted to use the jacuzzi but it was not available because they had cleaned it and the water was not warm enough. We went to bed around 11:30 and to our surprise our room was filled with bugs. At first, we thought they would not bother us but they flew into our mouths and landed on our body while sleeping so I kept the light on in the bathroom. This helped the problem somewhat but it was difficult to sleep with the light. In addition, there were several cobwebs in the room with spiders. Spiders build nests where there are bugs so this seems to be an issue in this room. In addition, it was hot in the room so we kept the fan on but this caused another issue - the fan kept making constant noises; keeping us awake all night. Due to the bugs and the noisy fan, it was not a tranquil night and we slept very little. In the morning, I noticed that the screens on the windows had gaps between them and the window pane, and I believe this is why there were so many bugs in the room as evident in the picture. The management told me that they are aware of these gaps. It is due to the expansion and contraction of the wood. Okay, so why isn't there a solution since we are paying so much money to stay there? A simple solution is to seal the gaps with the following: Scotch 1.88 in. x 54.6 yds. Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape (3-Pack). Thus, I recommend visiting Home Depot and buy the tape if you plan to stay there so you will avoid a sleepless night. In addition, check the fan when visiting your room for the first time and request a new room if it makes noise. We never got to enjoy any of the amenities since we were so tired.
