The tradition of gracious, warm and welcoming hospitality has always been a vibrant and
defining part of Josette (Melanson ) King's heritage. Her great-grandmother, Margaret Melanson,
along with her husband Martin, opened their homestead to family, friends and weary travelers alike.
It is upon their spirit of caring and sharing that Nova Scotians have earned the reputation of
being the friendliest people in the world! Josette, a fifth generation Melanson, has rekindled
that spirit and recently returned with her husband David and two sons to open her 120 year old
homestead to all.
Situated behind the original farmhouse near Weymouth, Nova Scotia, Canada nestled in the woods and resting gently on the shores
of the Sissiboo River, is your own piece of the Melanson family history and heritage, a different form of adventure travel accommodation. Josette,
a descendant of Margaret's and Martin's thirteen children, has not only built a Hideaway but
created a recreational opportunity for you to experience the beauty and solitude of the land and nature
in all its magnificence. Come, be a part of the Melanson heritage and create an adventure travel, kayaking and canoeing tradition
of your own!
Our family accommodation, only minutes from the village of Weymouth and the town of Digby, Nova Scotia, Martin's Sissibo Hideaway, is surrounded by pristine woods, walking trails and
lush forest growths. The only ones to share your early morning or late evening strolls will
be the deer and perhaps a few curious chipmunks or squirrels. This exclusive and extremely
private, waterfront, accommodation is a recreation and nature lover's paradise. Bald eagles soar overhead, the maples await tapping,
and the river is calling to all paddlers who enjoy endless hours of canoeing or kayaking with a special friend. A walkway through the woods will guide you to your
own personal park where you can barbecue or sit by the dying embers of a fire as the day closes
around you.
