"The breakfast wonderful best I’ve seen, ever, for being included in the price of room. The overall property needs a refresh and the rooms, also. Conveniently located for visiting all the towns in the area. Last but not least, the price of hotels for a two night stay. Not just this one, but all hotels. Getting too expensive, almost 500.00 for two nights."

"This is a beautiful little property on the edge of the Lunenburg Harbor, about 5 minute drive from the town center, but set apart on a hill with its own private small beach. For those who don't care about pretension, this place is a gem! Our private cottage was so tidy, like checking into a cabin on a ship. Marcus has overlooked no detail. Just a perfect little place."

"Laurie communicated with me before my arrival which was helpful. She showed me the room which was fantastic, #3, I believe, which had a tiled cascading shower. Amenities were top notch: waffle robes, French roast coffee, gourmet teas, water, snacks, mini fridge, consistent and quiet air split system, sitting area, I like that they ask you to remove your shoes at the entrance. Parking off street worked well. Great tips on where to visit and where to eat. Mahone Bay is a much quieter town than Lunenberg but close by. Highly recommend the Magnolia!!"
