Property was right on main part of historic lunenberg. Extensive renovations with updated rooms. More like a bnb with rooms. Owners were on-site and were friendly and helpful. We drove in and they helped find us close parking space.

The owners were friendly and nice and very helpful. The room we had was great very quiet. Lunenburg is a very small town with plenty to see but of course we were two streets off of the main harbour so fantastic right across the street from a really great restaurant. Go check out the Maritime museum. And the blue nose.

We had a great view from our room and the location in Lunenburg was great. The room was very hot and the temperature was not easy to control. There are very few amenities at this Inn and the cost is very high. Staff were very pleasant and helpful with our parking questions.
