Our stay at this beautifully renovated farmhouse was exceptional. Located just off the main road, it offered a serene atmosphere. The spacious room was impeccable and comfortable, with a roomy bathroom. The grounds were beautifully maintained, showcasing a high level of attention to detail. The peaceful location allowed for a restful night’s sleep and the fresh air from the open windows was an added bonus. Each morning, a delicious breakfast featuring fresh coffee, granola and yogurt was provided. The property’s proximity to Lunenburg and Mahone Bay made it an ideal base. A short walk took us to the river, where chairs and a dock offered scenic views. Our hosts, Frauke and Mike, were helpful, friendly and made our stay enjoyable. Charlie, their dog, was a friendly, charming companion. Frauke’s recommendations for local restaurants and dining spots were extremely helpful. We highly recommend this farmhouse if visiting Nova Scotia’s beautiful South Shore

Amazing stay at River Ridge Lodge. Would highly recommend as a more quiet and peaceful option to those in Lunenburg, but still just a short drive away. The hosts greeted us with smiles and all the information we could need for the area and for a smooth stay. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely book again if back in the area. Great quiet property tucked away with close access to the river. Forgot my charger there and was very easy to arrange for pick-up at a later date. Owner's could not possibly be any more kind and accommodating! Charlie is ADORABLE as well!

We had a wonderful stay at River Ridge Lodge for our Nova Scotia vacation! Frauke was incredibly helpful in providing wonderful recommendations for where to visit, explore, and eat. She was very accommodating of us traveling with a toddler. She waited up for us to arrive despite a later than planned arrival and delivered coffee to the room to wake up to on our first morning. The property was beautiful, and we loved how close it was to the quaint town of Mahone Bay. We would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway!
