enthusiasts are more than welcome to stay at the retreat, bring their four-wheelers and other offroad vehicles and take advantage of the nearby trails. “You can drive right through the town of Weymouth,” Frost explained. “It’s one of the few places in Nova Scotia where you’re allowed to go from trail to road to trail on a four-wheeler.” She also noted that nearby, New France has uncharted forests and lots of history on the land. “There are old ruins back there. It’s quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. I’d love to see more people come with their four-wheelers and explore,” she said. No matter what the occasion is that brings guests to Sissiboo River Retreat, Frost says their goal was to always be a family-friendly place, which includes the four-legged family members as well. While dome retreats are becoming more popular as time goes on, most are not pet-friendly and are strictly adult-only. Encouraging families with pets and children was the only right way to do it in their minds. “Our thoughts when we did this was to have a place, we could enjoy with our family too. We’re pet people and we’re kid people, so we decided to create a family-fun space,” she explained. Frost also wanted to contribute to bringing people to Clare. “Part of our goal was to bring people to the area and showcase what we have,” she said. She has been able to employ people from the area and partner with other local businesses through the retreat. They offer local products within the domes for the guests to use and will continue to support local as much as they can. “Part of our goal was to bring people to the area and showcase what we have,”
