The house is very charming, the owners have taken pains to preserve the original features. The gardens are extensive and well maintained. It is situated near the centre of the town. Also the breakfast was delicious.

Alana Canada

We were welcomed graciously by Marla & Darrell. The house was charming, clean & a warm feeling all around. Our room & bathroom were spacious, the bed very comfortable. The extras ( coffee & tea) were quiet nice to have. We served a beautiful breakfast, we had the Belgium waffles, fresh fruit and local maple syrup!! We really hated to leave, was a pleasant experience.

Marla and Darrell your hosts
Our home was built in 1905 for the Mayor of Stewiacke. The family lived here for 93 years and then we purchased it to make it a Bed and Breakfast. We try to buy as much as possible locally and most of the food products for breakfast are sourced from local producers.
Having always loved working with people and cooking being one of my favourite past times, owning and running a Bed and Breakfast is a perfect fit for me. Also as gardening is also a passion , being out in my yard gives me much pleasure and a peaceful time out.
Our town is small and therefore every convenience is just a short walk away. There are several trails within a radius of 5 miles.
