Cresthaven By the Sea

The room was as advertised - character and clean, and with a tree outside that hosted a pair of eagles -- one of which allowed us to take its pictures. Seeing the degree of change with the Bay of Fundy tides was as we hoped - something to see.

I hesitate saying too much... I'm hoping to keep this hidden gem a secret.

The location of the property is fantastic! You can sit on the front porch and look right over the water. It’s a little remote, but that adds to the charm. Clear skies, bright stars. One restaurant and a general store just a couple minutes walk, but not much else for conveniences so be prepared. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious and the owner was full of information and very friendly. As was the cute dog! Would definitely recommend.

Room spotless, great breakfast, friendly inn keeper. Located right on the water for excellent viewing of the tides! Nice quiet and relaxing experience.

This is the most amazing place. A hidden gem. We only had a reservation for one night. We couldn't extend as the Cresthaven was booked which was unfortunate for my husband and me. Cathrine and Warren, our hosts, went out of their way to make our stay the very best. We arrived late in the evening. The local restaurant was closed. The next nearest place was over a half hour away. Cathrine volunteered to make us a chicken salad for dinner instead of us driving to the nearest town. That was so sweet and unexpected. The next morning at breakfast Warren fed us a breakfast that stayed with us most of the day. He had coffee with us; we talked about our plans and Warren offered wonderful suggestions which we took. Between the offer of dinner, the previous night and tips on what to do that day things couldn't have been better. Already planning our next trip to Cresthaven and believe me, we will stay more than one night. Plenty to see and do. But the best part was probably sitting on the porch, watching the eagles and the tide going down on the Shubenacadie River while enjoying a glass of Canadian wine.
