In February 2016, we enthusiastically took over as the new Innkeepers of this lovely Bed and Breakfast and have since been working hard to turn it into our own dream. We both left our busy lives in Ontario to pursue our passion of meeting new people, living a quieter life in Nova Scotia, and providing something special to travelers while we are living our dream. Rod, born a true Nova Scotian, spent most of his childhood in the Annapolis Valley and couldn’t wait to come back home. I (Lynn) am thrilled to have returned to my entrepreneurial and people-driven roots and in making this home an authentic Farmhouse experience for all our guests.

Located in the beautiful village of Canning, this 1860s circa Farmhouse Inn B&B is perfectly located for you to explore all that the historic Annapolis Valley and the Bay of Fundy have to offer. Relax in old time charm after exploring some of the most famous hiking trails; Cape Split, Blomidon Provincial Park or visiting some of the six vineyards in the area. This B&B is close to restaurants and minutes from the town of Wolfville. Each room has been uniquely decorated and provide a private ensuite bathroom and many other amenities including a flat screen TV and Free WiFi. <p> A wonderful hot breakfast is served each morning in the original elegant dining room with original pine floors and a pressed tin ceiling. Guests are welcome to relax on the front porch swings or enjoy our beautiful gardens.

In the 1800’s the town of Canning had a population of over 3000, exceeding that of its neighboring towns of Wolfville and Kentville. The main employment of the town was shipyard, the axe factory and Melvin’s Mill. Before 1830 Canning was known as Habitant Corner for several years. At the turn of the century Canning was a hub of activity. The harbour was very busy with both private and government wharves all full of ships delivering cargoes as coal and grindstones and loading cargoes of farm produce, mainly apples and potatoes.
