Family-Friendly Bed and Breakfast Accommodation near the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

This bed and breakfast accommodation is located in Harvey, New Brunswick, where it is situated on the western coast of the Bay of Fundy in the southeastern corner of the province. Here, guests will find a peaceful rural setting composed of lush lawns dotted with tall, leafy trees dappling the property with a patchwork of sun and shade, surrounded by rolling fields fringed with woodlands.

Set in the heart of the UNESCO-designated Fundy Biosphere Reserve, the bed and breakfast provides guests with an opportunity to explore a vast array of pristine forests, wetlands, mudflats, beaches, coastal environments, and unique geological formations spread over the reserve's 442,250 hectares (1,092,800 acres) of natural splendor, which is brimming with hiking trails, birdwatching sites, and opportunities for outdoor recreation. Within a 30-minute-drive of the bed and breakfast, guests can reach the New Horton Hawk Watch Site and New Horton Marsh in four minutes, Mary's Point nature reserve in six minutes, the Shepody National Wildlife Area in eight minutes, Pebble Beach in 15 minutes, and the Crooked Creek Lookout in 15 minutes, Hopewell Rocks Park in 20 minutes, and Fundy National Park in 25 minutes.

Despite its name, the New Horton Hawk Watch Site offers more than just a place to see hawks; here, guests can also watch migratory eagles, sea ducks, cormorants, and a variety of other birds, enjoy breathtaking views of the New Horton Ridge and the northern reaches of the Bay of Fundy, and visit the New Horton Marsh. More scenic views can be found at the Crooked Creek Lookout, which overlooks a meandering valley in the Caledonia Highlands. Birdwatchers will also be sure to want to visit Mary's Point nature reserve, where up to 200,000 semipalmated sandpipers can be found resting at any given time during the peak migration time in August. The reserve's intertidal mudflats and salt marshes provide staging areas to a variety of other migratory birds, including black-bellied plovers, short-billed dowitchers, and semipalmated plover.

Even more wetlands can be found at Shepody National Wildlife Area, which provides staging areas for migratory American black ducks, green-winged teals, and ring-necked ducks, among a variety of other waterfowl and marsh birds. A number of mammals call the wildlife area home as well, including river otters, eastern coyotes, snowshoe hares, minks, bobcats, white-tailed deer, and moose. Many of these species can also be found at Fundy National Park, which also provides habitats for beavers, northern flying squirrels, black bears, great blue herons, peregrine falcons, and pileated woodpeckers.

Encompassing 207 square kilometers (80 square miles) of coniferous and mixed-wood forests, bogs, rivers, and rugged coastline, the national park boasts 100 kilometers (62 miles) of multi-use trails, 25 waterfalls, a golf course, and the highest tides in the entire world. When they recede, these tides reveal the full majesty of the Hopewell Rocks—a series of massive, flowerpot-like rock formations rising 40 to 70 feet tall along the coast.

The bed and breakfast is about five minutes from the village of Riverside-Albert, where guests will find a pub and a restaurant; 20 minutes from Alma, where they will find more dining options; and an hour from Moncton, where the nearest international airport is located.
