Beautiful, historic, and well-preserved building with easy access to the water front, dining, and unique town. Staff was friendly and accomodations were excellent.
Amazing place to stay, great location, staff were super friendly, and the owner was very nice, sharing ways to make our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended the Rum Runner Inn!
Beautiful view from honeymoon king room. Nice bed. Real glassware. Challenges were carrying bags up narrow stairs to second floor and no fan in bathroom.
The biggest shortcoming is the lack of parking. There is none - only on-street parking which is very congested. It made for a difficult arrival as we had to park some distance away (up a very steep hill) and carry our luggage back to the facility
We absolutely loved room #18! So bright with a huge skylight that opens out into the air, overlooking the water and the quaint Lunenburg buildings. From start to finish it was most enjoyable and we enjoyed meeting Tim who happily welcomed us to the property.
We enjoyed our stay at the Rum Runner Inn in L Lunenberg. The rooms were very clean and we had all the amenities is necessary for a one night stay in the village. Staff was very friendly and the owner Tom was very welcomingwas a delight as well. My only complaint would be the parking issue as we had to park further away from the destination for the free parking, but it was easy to deal with after the tourist have left the village for the evening. In my opinion I would go back at any time as the rum runner was a delight stay at.
Beautiful room 5 overlooking the waterfront. Met the owner who was fantastic and gave us lots of tips. Would definitely return

This was a nice place in a great location. View was awesome just wish the deck flooring was updated, it made the place feel a bit neglected and windows on deck doors cleaned would have upped my rating. Nice otherwise but that would be my best advise!
1. Second floor room no elevator. Disabled senior had to climb stairs. Her senior husband had to carry suitcases up stairs.
2. Unable to unpack. No drawers, shelves, hangers or closets.
3. No shades or curtains for south facing windows or skylights.
