It brings us so much joy to receive lovely feedback like this from a family in Vancouver. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! β€οΈπŸ™Œ

Check out my reviews The hosts were great. Gave lots of tips of the local area. The rooms were large, clean and up-to-date. Beds were comfortable and the double room was great for our family. We wish we could have stayed longer but we had booked a place in PEI and had to move on.

Psst… do you want to know a secret. The Shantymen of Mahone Bay are performing live this Thursday at the Lightship Brewing Company in Lunenburg. This event is so secret, it's not on our events calendar. Even our webmaster missed it, but its coming up fast.

Come out for a beer, a great view of the harbour, and join us for a few songs of the sea, and see the Shantymen.

730 this Thursday at the Lightship. See you there.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all firefighters, first responders, and volunteers who worked tirelessly to protect our communities from the devastating wildfires.

We are incredibly thankful that we were not directly impacted, apart from some smoke and temporary trail closures. However, we understand the immense challenges and sacrifices made by those on the front lines to keep everyone safe.

The much-needed rain we've received in the last few days has truly been a blessing. Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your bravery, dedication, and selflessness.

Ready for a change of scenery? After meaning to check out the walking trail around Graves Island Provincial Park walking trail for ages, we finally made the 23 minute-drive from River Ridge Lodge. The 3.4 km trail is easy but with many picturesque views. We thought it was well worth the drive to take the dog for a stroll on new territory.

If you're looking to witness the most extreme tides in the world, you've gotta check out Halls Harbour on the Bay of Fundy. I always send our B&B guests here to see it in person! If you're short on time, this video captures the action. But seeing it in person is worth it; it only takes an hour and ten minutes to get there from River Ridge Lodge.

Welcome to River Ridge Lodge

We're Frauke and Mike, the owners of River Ridge Lodge. We will do our best to ensure a relaxing and memorable stay and make our home your home away from home. We love meeting new people, making friends and sharing the many treasures the surrounding area offers and make Mahone Bay such a great place to live and visit.

We moved to Mahone Bay from Vancouver, BC in September 2017. When we saw the listing of the property in February that year, we felt that our dream could come true. Mike had been a gardener for the Vancouver Parks Board for more than 30 years and finally wanted to garden for himself. Frauke moved to Canada from Germany in 1992 after her university studies and was a data analyst in Vancouver for over 20 years. Frauke has always dreamed of running a Bed and Breakfast, and both of us fell in love with Mahone Bay during a trip 17 years earlier. We instantly fell in love with the property's rolling hills, the beautiful river that flows into Mahone Bay, and its endless horizon. The house needed a lot of love and care, but we felt with lots of elbow grease, we could make this a beautiful home and lodge and share the house and property with guests, family, and friends. We arrived in Mahone Bay in September 2017 and started the work and have loved every minute since.

Frauke speaks German and English; Mike speaks English and a little bit of French.
