The owner and staff were unbelievably personable. Mike, the owner was truly a gem. The dockside was an amazing place to stay with great water views and amazing proximity to downtown shopping. The room is extremely clean and spacious and it was such a delight. We loved eating at the restaurant as well. That was certainly a plus. Breakfast with The view and the sunrise and sunsets were incredible. Can't wait to go back again.

Our room had a picture postcard view of the harbor in Lunenburg and a kitchen. Furnishings are a little dated but comfortable nonetheless. The convenience of the restaurant downstairs with outdoor dining was great and the food good. We would stay here again.
