We found this place online, I conversed with owner via email, and we plan to stay there en route to Nova Scotia next summer. The rates are very reasonable and the Inn and its view look incredibly beautiful. Check it out.

Click for a larger view.The Homeport B and B/Inn Set high on a hill with a commanding view of the Bay of Fundy, and the Historic Port and Skyline of Saint John the Homeport Historic B and B/Inn c1858 provides the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the gracious ambiance of Canada's oldest incorporated city.
The twin homes were built in 1858, predating Canadian confederation by 9 years, and were constructed for a prominent shipbuilding family whose boat yard was located a few hundred yards below on the harbor tidal flats. Its unique Italianate architecture reflects the opulence of the time with very large bright windows and rooms, 10 foot ceilings, two free standing spiral stair cases, and detailed wood work rosettes, finials and columns. Of particular interest is a pair of carved figure heads that have stood sentinel in the formal twin parlors for nearly 150 years. Come stop for a while and enjoy these magnificently restored Mansions and be pampered in Five Star luxury. Affordable, Convenient, and Unique the Homeport is the ideal site for all your Bay of Fundy and Southern New Brunswick travels.
Digby and Fundy the Resident Nova Scotia Duck Tollers at your service. The owners, Karen and Ralph Holyoke, have furnished the HOMEPORT with fine antiques and art in a distinctive maritime heritage theme to reflect the heyday of the clipper ships from 1850 to 1880. This theme is evident in the 10 large, comfortable guest suites . Each room is impeccably furnished with a queen sized bed covered in fresh crisp linens and a feather duvet or quilt. There is a private period style bathroom with either a claw footed tub, oversized soaker tub or Whirlpool tub and thick fluffy cotton towels and robes. Each room has a sitting area with TV, private line phone, Data port, A/C in season, and so many extras to make yours a memorable stay.
Just a note be careful with your itinerary planning-Saint John is in New Brunswick and St. Johns is in Newfoundland. More than one person has booked in the wrong place by just putting on that "s"!
May I suggest the small community of St. Martin's just outside of Saint John, NB. There are several B&B's there. It is a quaint place located on the water. Covered bridges, etc.
