This famous sea captain’s house is now a lovely bed and breakfast in the fishing village of Riverport, Nova Scotia. This old family home has enjoyed a quiet existence on the north shore of Ritcey Cove since 1906. Each bed is covered with lovely handmade Nova Scotian Quilts.
Recently restored and modernized this home-style B&B offers modern comfort and convenience with early 20th century ambience. There are three comfortable rooms. At the inn you'll find my lovable Labradour dog.
Located on Route 332 at the mouth of the LaHave River, and only 4 km from the LaHave ferry, Riverport is close to several sandy beaches, the Ovens Natural Park and a dive park. An ideal base for day tours, deep-sea fishing, hiking trails and sea kayaking. Excellent shopping, dining and cultural facilities can be found in nearby Lunenburg or Bridgewater while the smaller local communities such as Mahone Bay and La Have are well worth a visit and a walkabout.
Start the day with our hearty breakfast and finish it while recounting your adventures in the comfort of the fully equipped guest lounge. The Backman House is our home and yours too for as long as you care to stay. |
