We enjoyed our stay at the Rum Runner Inn in L Lunenberg. The rooms were very clean and we had all the amenities is necessary for a one night stay in the village. Staff was very friendly and the owner Tom was very welcomingwas a delight as well. My only complaint would be the parking issue as we had to park further away from the destination for the free parking, but it was easy to deal with after the tourist have left the village for the evening. In my opinion I would go back at any time as the rum runner was a delight stay at.

This was a nice place in a great location. View was awesome just wish the deck flooring was updated, it made the place feel a bit neglected and windows on deck doors cleaned would have upped my rating. Nice otherwise but that would be my best advise!

We absolutely loved room #18! So bright with a huge skylight that opens out into the air, overlooking the water and the quaint Lunenburg buildings. From start to finish it was most enjoyable and we enjoyed meeting Tim who happily welcomed us to the property.
Gorgeous skylight!
