About
A Place to Retreat
Our family decided we needed a change of pace. We returned back to our home land where we were born. Pandemic was not expected upon arrival shortly after. A lot of changes. As the World took a different turn for everyone, we started getting acquainted with what we had missed in years past. The beautiful Maritimes of Nova Scotia. The adventure begins.
We didn’t have to ponder too long about learning how we missed this Celtic explored land of our Heritage with lakes, relaxed laid back atmosphere, beauty and hospitality of the people. Captian Ross was from County Cork, Ireland. During the War of 1812, as a soldier in the 16th Regiment, he and his family moved to British North America and were stationed at Fort Coteau-du-Lac, Quebec. Lieutenant William Ross then chose to transfer to the Nova Scotia Fencible Infantry and became a Captain. When we purchased this property we did not know how close of our Heritage this was.. Being from Irish decent, this did strike a happy cord.
A Lot of kind remarks from smiles from Nova Scotia Immediately greet you as many has felt visiting the area.
We knew it would be the perfect fit for a property we would dearly love to live once again. A land we held dear to our hearts.
When designing and envisioning Gem Adventures Retreat, our family aim was very simple: to create a place in which individuals through the Pandemic and the future, could reconnect to the great outdoors with family, friends. Understanding that the traditional camping experience is not for everyone, Gem Adventures Retreat bridges the gap between camping and the desire for comfort, allowing individuals to experience the great outdoors in style and sophistication.
We also wanted to bring Gem Adventures Retreat experiences in the hospitality sector. We wanted to offer services that compliments your stay.

We also wanted to give an extra bonus with referrals. Over the past few years, our family has been conducting Community Support Fundraisers especially as the Pandemic has taken its toll. We at Gem Adventures Retreat, would like to share our love of the Canadian Historic Forest Lake setting with lake, and provide guests with a unique and unforgettable peaceful escape.
