From Bare Ground to Welcoming Guests in Just Four Months 

What does it really take to build an outdoor hospitality business from the ground up, and do it in record time… even with a full-time job? In this episode, we sit down with the founders of Nature Nook Acadia, who went from construction site to hosting their very first guests in less than four months.

They share the behind-the-scenes reality: the long days of building, the unexpected challenges, the trade-offs and tough decisions, and the exhilarating moment when the first guests finally arrived. This is a story of determination, resourcefulness, and a vision brought to life at speed… through effective project management and a bit of good old-fashioned luck!

If you’ve ever dreamed of creating your own guest retreat, or you’re curious about what happens when passion meets pressure, you won’t want to miss this inspirational conversation.
