Property Details
The owners 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.
After guests are settled in they are encouraged to visit the elegant main parlor for complimentary afternoon tea and refreshments. To help plan your stay you will find the daily weather forecast and information on events and sights that you may find of interest. Take advantage of a local walking tour along Douglas Avenue to view the many grand old homes on this heritage street. Your hosts also provided a register of menus from local restaurants for planning your evening meal. The HOMEPORT, as its name implies, is a great spot to base all your travels, be it down the shore for whale watching or sea kayaking, up river for a quiet country picnic, or around town to view the many historic sights and sounds of Saint John or nearby Reversing Falls.
After a great night's sleep Ralph and Karen want you to start the day off right with the very special and filling RISE AND DINE BREAKFAST. The hot main course is complemented by fresh in-season fruits and a selection of homemade granola, cereals, teas and fresh coffee. They serve only the freshest pastries, muffins and rolls with home made jams and jellies to ensure your stay at HOMEPORT will be restful and fulfilling.
