Travel Guide

After seeing a post card of Lunenburg, I had to take a stop in to see. This quiet little fishing community is just adorable and full of colour. There are loads of small shops to explore, great places to eat, and a photographer's dream.

This is a fantastic property. Very comfortable and very relaxing. This was my first time here in the winter, and there was lots of snow, but that just added to the experience. Made use of the snowshoes and kept warm by the fire. Highly recommended!
