Liscombe Lodge Resort

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

Liscombe Lodge Resort sits above the rushing water of the Liscomb River, tucked into a peaceful, thick forest setting on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. Halifax is roughly a two-hour drive away, yet the resort describes itself as secluded enough to feel worlds apart. Accommodation choices run from private guestrooms to riverside chalets, with a Riverside Lodge holding 30 guestrooms including a luxury suite. Six shared Riverside Motel units each hold four or five individual rooms, some with a shared living area, an electric fireplace and a spacious veranda. All told, the resort and conference centre counts 73 guestrooms. Water is the organizing idea here: a marina lets guests arrive by boat and stay a while, while canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and river tubing fill the afternoons. Indoors, the pool is paired with a sauna, steam room and hot tub. Between swims there are tennis and pickleball courts, a hobby farm, campfires, a games room, bicycles, hiking trails and a life-size chess board. Riley's Island, reached from the property, is set aside for walking its trails. Meals lean Maritime, with a signature Atlantic planked salmon and a chef-attended breakfast bar served against Liscomb River views. Because the lodge runs the trails, boats, pool and kitchens itself, reserving through its own front desk at 902.870.2923 ties all of that to the room you take.
