This was our favorite place to stay in Nova Scotia. The Inn was beautiful and our room luxurious. We loved the ability to walk to some great restaurants and shopping. It was also close to hiking the Ovens, Blue Rocks and sightseeing Lunenburg. We loved our stay

The property owners were welcoming and responsive. We were greeted by a onsite staff member who checked us in and showed us to our room. We were pleased to have a unit at the back of the property. Although there was no view of the bay, this was off set by having a fireplace, small kitchenette area, and a patio area. We were very pleased with the property.

Central place to be in Mahone Bay

Luxury rooms in a beautiful old house in the heart of Mahone Bay! This property offers on site parking, and comfortable rooms. We really enjoyed the premium linens (including robes!), spacious rooms (and bathroom!) and the shower is incredible. The room is equipped with a bar- sized fridge, kettle, and coffee machine. Light snacks are also provided. The building has been nicely maintained/restored, but before you book your stay you should know that it’s more like a rooming house in that each suite is assigned to a different person and the library and dining room are shared. There’s no access to kitchen facilities for preparing meals and the outdoor seating and BBQ is for guests in a specific room only. We enjoyed the 3 nights we stayed.

Wonderful stay

Magnolia Inn in Mahone Bay may have opened in 2024, but it’s housed in a beautifully restored historic property dating back to 1879. We were lucky to stay in the master bedroom on the second floor, which featured a spacious, modern bathroom. Each room includes a mini-fridge, smart TV, and Keurig coffee maker for added comfort. The first floor offers inviting shared spaces, including a cozy sitting room, a large dining area, and a quiet library—perfect if you need to get some work done. The entire inn is spotless and thoughtfully organized. Craig, the owner, was incredibly gracious and welcoming, and their summer staff (whose name we sadly forgot) was equally kind and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

We had an amazing stay at Magnolia Inn. Craig and Laurie have done a beautiful job with preserving the charm of the house, the thought and care shows. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the decor was lovely. Thanks again to Sam as well for welcoming us and sharing some travel advice for the surrounding areas.

Our experience was all around excellent but if I were to give one recommendation it would be to provide noise abatement from the bottom of the door to the floor. It didn’t affect us or anyone else to my knowledge but I can certainly see it being an issue for some. Thank you and good luck with the upcoming season.
