"We had a wonderful room facing the harbor on the second floor. Fairly quiet because of the season but the view was wonderful--also helped that we had beautiful fall weather. Staff was excellent. They offered to let us use their washer and dryers when they were done with their daily needs when we inquired about doing a laundry. We chose to use a laundromat on outskirts of town where we were able to drop off and pick up later in day. Let us explore Lundenburg and its great selections of Victorian houses and the fishery museum. The restaurant while not fancy had a good selection of dishes. Would stay there again"
Oceanfront Cottage on a Quiet Cove Just Outside Lunenburg
8/10 Good
"This is a wonderful location close enough to many attractions and isolated enough for a peaceful getaway. Deer roamed the property, kayaking for those who enjoy being on the water. Full windows across the front of this cottage offering a lovely view of the water, seagulls, night sky! You won’t find as many properties that are as clean and comfortable as here. It is a perfect place for two couples or four people. Your host Frank & Valerie are friendly, and all round nice people who will make your stay enjoyable! I had my 10 lb Cockapoo w me and she thoroughly enjoyed her stay as well. Plenty of places to go for a hike or leisurely walk. I visited Blue Rocks, two nearby beaches, Lunenberg, Mahone Bay on my way home where you can fill up with gas right in town. There are multiple cafes, restaurants & bistros if you prefer to eat out. A local grocery store in Lunenburg along the waterfront and another lovely one with a European flare in Rose Bay, look for the unusual and not those big chains. I visited from Oct 11 - 28, 2026, I had some beautiful days, some cooler day (I do enjoy sweater weather), so don’t hesitate to go as I did a little later in the season when the tourist traffic has calmed down. Many thanks to my hosts Frank & Valerie!"
"It will not disappoint! Especially if you are going to an event at the Shore Club as it is just a couple minute walk to there. The place is beautiful, the views are spectacular and the staff are so nice and accommidating. HIDDEN JEM!!!!"
"This is a beautiful B&B and the owner is lovely. She is very chatty and helpful and made us breakfast in the morning. The location was also great! The only reason I didn't give five stars is because 'the hug' room was smaller than I anticipated. I knew it would be small, but it was quite tiny for two adults. I also didn't love that we had to share a bathroom with the rest of the guests but that's a personal thing. Would still stay here again!"
"I have stayed at the Blackforest cabins four times now and every time we have a very clean positive experience. There has been great communication and easy instructions for checking in and checking out. I wish they had deals for reoccurring customers because it is pretty expensive to stay even for one night."
