This is a quaint little inn; however it is dated. Some rooms and bathrooms do need updating. That said it is worth the time and effort to plan a stay there. I use it frequently for business trips. The view of the valley for the rooms facing the 101 is spectacular and sunrise through is a nice sight through your big picture window.

Stayed here for a night in late November 2021. Its not the most picturesque building or location in the Annapolis Valley, but for some reason it felt oddly nostalgic. The lobby was actually very warm and welcoming. The rooms had dated furniture but everything was clean and the mattresses and pillows were comfortable - no complaints! The pool area is great! Hot tub is a good hot temperature and the pool is a great size. Its not the best for little kids as its pretty deep, but for anyone looking to splash around or swim lengths, its perfect. Didnt get to try the spa but it looked very

A great place to stay, we were celebrating our anniversary! The room was clean w/an amazing view! We did the romantic package and had the lobster dinner, well worth the $. We were lucky enough to have Alan as… our waiter for the evening and his suggestions/manner & service were second to none, tnx again Alan! We did make it to the hot tub & pool, again, both great! Breakfast is booked online and finished off our stay w/a 5 star rating!!!
Tnx to the staff…

Where do I even begin with this place We checked in on Friday afternoon and arrived at the hotel. First impressions were that I was warped to another time and place, they were going for this old lodge look with muskets and taxidermied buffalo and a yak on the wall. Not being one to judge a book by its cover we proceeded to check in. The young lady at the desk helped us and informed us that our complimentary breakfast was actually $5 each and we had to register on a website to order for takeaway (which we found out later did not function. One of the many broken things in this place).
