Agnes and Ray Direnzo have never shied away from adventure. Whether it’s traveling in the great outdoors or picking up their lives and starting a business in rural Nova Scotia, they are ready to take on adventure and any challenges along the way. Agnes and Ray explain how Smiths Cove Cottages came to be and how the couple continues to expand their brand by offering guests affordable family summer vacations in Nova Scotia’s beautiful Annapolis Valley. SMITHS COVE COTTAGES AFFORDABLE COMMUNITY- MINDED LODGING & CAMPING Jon and Erin Welch left the province of British Columbia to seek a new beginning in Nova Scotia. As aspiring entrepreneurs, they took a chance by bringing something new to a rural area. But while Jon and Erin invested in their business, the communities of Annapolis Royal and Bear River invested in them. With local support, Sissiboo Coffee Roaster grew beyond their expectations. As the company continues to expand, Jon and Erin maintain their values of producing high-quality, fair trade, and organic products. SISSIBOO COFFEE ROASTING & ROOTED IN RURAL LIVING Leanne and Ben Brooks share their journey returning to rural Nova Scotia to transform the Historic Myrtle Hotel into a modern haven known as the Riverport Inn B&B. An adults-only accommodation that includes a dining room, salon, sitting room, and the guest-only private Myrtle Bar, all echoing the Inn’s original speakeasy vibe and history, providing an easy, comfortable, and memorable stay for discerning guests.
