OMG. That was our honest reaction when we walked into this room. We were lucky enough to book one of the suites that came with a sunporch that overlooked the waterfront and harbor, and OH MY THAT VIEW! If we weren't determined to walk around Lunenburg to see the sites and grab dinner, we would have been happy as clams to cuddle up with a bottle of wine and some snacks on that warm, sunny porch for the entire evening (especially perfect since it had been a cold, windy few days outside!) I'll dream of that room and view for weeks to come!

In the heart of Lunenburg.
The Rumrunner in couldnā€™t be more perfectly located on the waterfront of Lunenburg. The room was spacious, very comfortable, with a wonderful balcony and tremendous views. I think the only negative was the tarp on the roof from a previous storm came down and impinged on our side view after a serious windstorm. Tim and his daughter Haley were very friendly and helpful.

Call hotel to inquire of your room view!!
Hotel is in a great location & very clean. My only complaint was that upon check in, they were not forthcoming about the roof tarp hanging down over a portion of my scenic waterfront window. They were aware of this, and housekeeping told me about another room also affected. If you are paying more $$ to stay in that type of room. MY ADVICE is to call ahead and make sure itā€™s been fixed, if not AVOID room #8. (Note* housekeeping said room #10 was also affected with tarps in their window)

Great location in the heart of town. Had the veranda room which was very nice to sit overlooking harbor. Parking is not provided and a little hard to find. Beds not the most comfortable. Staff very nice.
