I reserve the 5 star rating…read more In order to get one from me you need to stand out. You need to want me thinking about returning almost as soon as I arrive. The Blair House most undoubtably deserves this rating, no question. A happen chance to find, we had to do a last minute drive from Halifax to St. Stephen and were too exhausted to make the return trip the same day. A combination of Tom Tom and Yelp said this little gem was less than 2km away from the border. No pictures, no reviews and no way of knowing what we'd find we gave a call. The owner David answered despite the lateness of the evening and said he indeed had one room available and we could come right on over. First off David may be one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. He didn't hesitate to spend a little time getting to know us even though it was well past "guest hours". At 9p at night he advised us to go out and find some food then return and take care of the paperwork...seriously who does that? The house. I won't even try to describe it. I can't do it justice. It's divine. Trust me. The room. We were given the only room on the main floor so I can't speak to the other rooms but this one was lovely. Queen size bed with super comfy bedding (the kind that makes you want to stay under covers all day). Extremely clean and stocked with those scratchy kind of towels you Canadians seem to love so much...oh the reason for the scratchiness? Yhea that's because they hang those towels out fresh on the line to dry all year round (as permissible). A lovely personal touch if you ask me. We woke up the next morning and sat down to a delicious home prepared breakfast of which David took before retiring the night previous. Didn't write a damn thing down and what do you know; everything came out just as we asked. You'll get your choice of grapefruit or fresh fruit cup (I had the fresh fruit with a dollop of greek yogurt). Then you'll either enjoy blueberry pancakes or a standard English breakfast of eggs, sausage, grilled mushroom, tomato and toast. Your meal will be topped off with coffee and a carafe of orange juice if you please. This place is the epitome of "Home sweet home". Other awesome things to know: * Tea is available 24 hrs/day * There will be a stash of cookies with said tea * This place won't break the bank (Summer rates are between $100-$120 / night) * Each room comes with a "faux" fire place * Cable TV/Wifi is provided for guest * Lots of nearby restaurants * The US/Canadian Border is less than 5 mins away.

The owners are so nice and accommodating. I felt like extended family, and I mean that in the best way possible. They have a super cute little dog and two nice cats. Of which never bothered us, in fact I think I bothered them by trying to pet them :) They included breakfast which was AMAZING. The chef is also the owner and he is so nice, each morning they chatted with us bout the local area and in general were just very nice. I couldn't ask for a better way to start my day. My only real complaint was that my bed was small, but that is due to having shared a room with a co-worker, we had the two bedroom. I am sure the one bedrooms have bigger beds. Overall I would say this is a place you should stay if you are in the area. Go, relax, have some wine and chat. Most of all, forget your problems and worries, even for just a moment while enjoying coffee and looking out onto the river.

We spent a week in Bar Harbor before coming up, and after the crowds and chaos there, this quiet inn was a PERFECT place to decompress and relax. The room is really spacious-- a king-sized bed, table and chairs, and plenty of floor space. Jacuzzi tub and a large bathroom. It looks right out over the river, so you can watch the tide go in and out; we even saw a pair of bald eagles. You can walk down to the river and to the Downeast Sunrise trail, which we biked on. It's extremely quiet, aside from road noise. The hosts are very responsive and were flexible with my schedule. If I am ever back in Machias I will definitely stay here again. Be forewarned that if you want breakfast, your choices are Dunkin Donuts or drive a long way to a different town. Everything in Machias opens at 11:00.

No TV and no phone (not a problem for us since we were here to enjoy the scenery), but hundreds of books, old toys, and games in the room and/or main house.

Going to the Beach House is kind of like visiting your grandparents (or parents, as the case may…read morebe). The house is cozy and the hosts are warm and inviting. The accommodations truly feel like visiting the grandparents' place, too - the rooms are in the lower level of the house, with a slight basement feel to it, but with a great entrance to the back yard that has chairs to sit and look at the bay (we even saw some seals). Unfortunately, the mosquitos can be a buzz kill to that serenity, so bring along some bug block, and pack in a bottle of wine or a few beers to sit and enjoy the view. The walls are a bit thin, but with only two rooms, the place doesn't get too rowdy. Breakfast was pleasant, and our hosts sat with us while we ate, which was nice to chat and learn more about the area. They are both born and raised natives of the area, and know the area quite well. This place is a great alternative to staying in St. John's, as it's only an hour away and in the direction of the border, if that's the way you need to be going. It only takes a few hours to get from here to Bangor, so it was a perfect place to stay after our ferry ride from Nova Scotia to break up the distance and time of traveling, and to avoid both Bangor and Saint John's for a more fresh-air stay for the night. However, please note that if you take the late afternoon ferry from Digby, you should stop and eat dinner in Saint John before coming this way. There are almost zero options of places to eat in the area.

The notice on the door in our room said cleaning was 9-1 each day. Clearly the owners are not focused on this property or the guests. We heard they owned another property and might be there if we needed something. Shockingly, following up on whether or not we got clean dry towels was not our priority either during our stay. I would probably try another spot next time.
