Property info

A most distinctive B&B in Mahone Bay, The Fisherman's Daughter is regarded by many respected lodging reviewers as "a perfect choice for a memorable stay!" Check us out on Tripadvisor! Handcrafted by Henry Schnare, this Ship Builder's 1850 circa Heritage Designated home sits on the shores of the picturesque Bay. It is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat from the workaday world. As you wind your way into Mahone Bay, you know you've arrived somewhere special. Visible from every angle, the town's world famous "Three Churches" are the first thing you see as you enter the community. The breathtaking view of the Bay, dotted with 365 islands – one for every day of the year - is something to behold. Today, Mahone Bay is home to renowned authors, film makers, artists, musicians, poets, intellects and wonderfully creative, dedicated citizens. Park the car and take a stroll through town, where you'll experience unique shops, art galleries, coffee houses, restaurants and museums. And for outdoor adventure, you don't have to go far for a sailing or kayaking excursion.
