Boutique Inns & Luxury Stays

These accommodations offer upscale amenities, stylish rooms, and a focus on comfort, typically located in historic or uniquely decorated properties.

The Kitch'Inn Boutique Inn & Wine Bar

Right on Main Street in the center of town. The Kitch’inn is a small boutique inn with a twist – it doubles as a trendy wine bar and wood-fired pizza restaurant (Betty’s at the Kitch). With just three stylish guest rooms and one apartment suite, this inn offers a hip, social atmosphere that’s “quirky, slightly off-kilter” by design. Rooms are modern, spacious, and boldly decorated, each with its own theme and modern en-suite bathroom. (Breakfast is not included here – instead, guests can enjoy brunch at Betty’s on weekends, or explore nearby cafes in the mornings. What the Kitch’inn lacks in traditional B&B breakfast, it makes up for in on-site fun: in the evenings, you can mingle with locals and fellow travelers at the wine bar downstairs. The inn is open year-round
“Mahone Bay will soon be as famous for this inn & wine bar as it is for its churches! The inn was delightful – clean, and the bed was one of the best I’ve slept on. The wine bar with the wood-fired oven pizza was incredible; we sat by the oven watching the chef while locals played folk music. An incredible experience!” – Google Review
Ideal for: Travelers seeking a lively, modern vibe – great for couples or friends who want nightlife on-site. If you enjoy boutique design, socializing over wine and pizza, and staying steps from all the action, the Kitch’inn is for you.

Black Forest Cabins

Black Forest Cabins offers a different experience – 8 tiny-house style cabins tucked in a wooded setting, plus a restored 200-year-old farmhouse called Spruce Top Cottage on Main Street. The cabins are studio units designed with Scandinavian-inspired décor, lots of natural light, and private decks overlooking the forest. Each cabin has a kitchenette and cozy sitting area, perfect for two people seeking privacy and a nature vibe. A boardwalk through the trees connects the cabins, and there’s a communal fire pit and BBQ area for guests to use. Spruce Top Cottage, by contrast, is a full three-bedroom house that sleeps up to 6 – great for families or groups wanting their own space. Guests at both the cabins and cottage have access to nearby walking trails and are close enough to easily explore Mahone Bay’s shops and restaurants. The owners also offer special packages (like cycling or arts retreats) to help guests enjoy the area.
“We loved our little cabin in the woods at Black Forest! It was modern, super clean, and surrounded by trees – very tranquil. In the morning we walked the trail on the property and in the evening we sat around the fire pit. It felt private yet we were just a quick walk from the harbour and cafes of Mahone Bay.” – Guest Review
Ideal for: Those seeking a bit of adventure and privacy – perfect for couples (young and young-at-heart) who want a unique stay close to nature, as well as families or friend groups who can rent the larger cottage. If you like the idea of glamping or a cabin getaway but still want to be near a cute town, Black Forest Cabins hits the mark.
