This beautiful historic inn exceeded our expectations in location, comfort, amenities and spacious room. The entire inn is thoughtfully decorated to match the historic home and we just loved the massive staircase and carpets throughout. We enjoyed 3 nights in a King suite with partial bay view. Even though there was a Keurig in our room we indulged in the Nespresso and other hot beverages in main area downstairs. A memorable stay!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is on a Main Street but after 6pm the town is very quiet. Being this is an older inn if you are a senior would recommend packing an overnight bag as you have to take the stairs to get to your room. There is free parking on site. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants

Great place and location in Mahone Bay. Located on the strip this us a beautifully decorated restored 19th century home. The owners/hosts were great and the room was great. Our room on the ground floor had sink, fridge, BBQ, sitting area outside and a comfortable bed. We will stay here again.

This is a lovely lovely Inn and a fabulouse place to stay. The rooms are newly renovated, clean and beautifully appointed. The location is perfect ... within walking distance of pretty much everything in Mahone Bay. Yet still very quiet. I Highly recommend this place.
