Trees to Tides: Gourmet Getaway
Overview
Trees to Tides is a two-night getaway that invites you to move gently between forest and shore — to slow down, reconnect, and savour the wild beauty of Nova Scotia. Stay in a cozy geodesic dome or off-grid treehouse, soak in your private hot tub, then follow the call of the tide to an elegant, gourmet seaside-picnic at the world-famous Blue Beach! There, you’ll be met by Chef Fiona of Molotov Cuisine, who will prepare a three-course seafood dinner just for you — fresh, local, and full of heart. It’s quiet, intentional, and beautiful in all the right ways.
