River Ridge Lodge

This was the first experience for us staying in an inn. After booking we received many emails from the owners about what we wanted to do during our stay. Any questions we had were quickly answered. We were given a warm welcome and information about our room and stay. Our room was a beautiful spacious room and bath . The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom had ample toiletries. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch visiting with other visitors. It is a beautiful peaceful inn and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

River Ridge Lodge had so many great reviews, my wife and I thought we should check it out ourselves to see what was being done so well. We booked for 5 nights and can confirm that everything is being done well. Frauke and Mike are fantastic hosts. They recommended restaurants and sights to see along the South Shore. The restaurant recommendations were especially helpful as many restaurants were closed certain mid-week evenings. Their website is also a comprehensive resource that provides a wealth of information about shops, restaurants and hikes in the area. The rooms were spotless, roomy and very comfortable. Almost any amenity you could think of was available. The grounds were gorgeous and we especially liked spending some time each evening sitting by the boathouse along the river. The location of the lodge is very convenient to Mahone Bay, Chester and Lunenburg. But, we also took side trips to Halifax and Wolfville. River Ridge Lodge is a great place to stay, with wonderful hosts who made us feel as though we were at home. Can't wait to go back.

This delightful place is close to Mahone bay a quaint little town close to Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg,Digby, Rose bay, and crescent beach to name a few, we were very happy with the hospitality of Frauke and Mike, they were very accommodating and our rooms were spotless as well as being provided with high quality amenities- I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in the area

Our room (downstairs) was beautiful, very clean, had a comfortable bed, and had nice towels and amenities in the bath. Our hostess was very welcoming, full of information and suggestions, and made sure we were well taken care of. Staying here was a wonderful experience! The location is very quiet and relaxing, but still only a short drive from town. Easy access to the rail trail for biking.
