Chris and Joanna are the owners of the property. They are really nice people. The location of the inn is right by the water. You can see the boats from your room. It’s so quiet. It’s relaxing to walk on the property. The building is kind of old but in good condition.

We stayed 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer! The property is absolutely beautiful, with views of the water on both sides. Chris and Joanna were delightful hosts and served a delicious breakfast every morning in the dining room. Within close driving distance of Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. We are already planning a trip back b/c we enjoyed ourselves so much.

We liked that it had a rural feel and we had great views all around being on a ridge. The property had a rustic feel,however better attention to details within is advised. Very generous with the complimentary extras that they provide the guests with. Overall a peacful relaxing environment surrounded by nature. Definately worth a trip back. guest with small details within

Joanna is so kind and accommodating! My partner is vegan and we emailed beforehand to ask about breakfast menu options and she said she was open to our suggestions. When we arrived, she was prepared with breakfast accommodations and even made what we had asked for. Thanks so much! On the negative side, the B&B does not have air conditioning and we stayed during a heat wave so the heat was quite unpleasant. Other than that though, Bayview Pines is great!

Lovely hosts, fabulous breakfast, rooms were clean. Just outside room was small fridge, coffeemaker for early coffee. Close to good restaurants, attractions. We stayed during a very hot spell, no AC but ceiling fan/floor fan helped some but still uncomfortable sleeping. AC would have made it perfect. NS just isn’t suppose to be this hot.

Outstanding B & B, Wonderful Hosts!
We had an absolutely perfect stay at Bayview Pines. This is a beautifully appointed, comfortable accommodation in a spectacular location, overlooking Mahone Bay. It was great to be a bit of a ways out of town, but close enough to get there easily. The innkeepers, Chris and Joanna, made us feel welcome, were generous in helping us plan our stay, and couldn't have been more gracious. Our breakfasts were delicious, especially the blueberry pancakes, and were beautifully served. We will definitely return, very soon we hope!

Beautiful views close to Mahone Bay
While traveling through Nova Scotia for 2weeks, we stayed at 9 different properties. This was our last one. I was hesitant to book it because it seemed from the description that it was way out of town. If this is your concern , do not hesitate. To get to the hotel you just make one turn at the end of the Main Street of Mahone Bay. Then it is a beautiful drive straight to the property. We stayed for two nights in room number 2. It was in the main house at the front. We had a beautiful view of the water. The hotel is perched up on a hill. There is outside space in the back if you want to relax and enjoy the view. There is also a rocky beach with a bench across the road if you want to enjoy the water. The room was spacious, light and airy. We had windows on two sides so our room was very cool. The room does not have air conditioning but we really didn't need it. The property uses well water so the water pressure is tricky if someone is taking a shower at the same time you are. There is a coffee pot in the hall but it just so happens it wasn't working the two mornings we were here. I don't think this is a permanent issue. You have access to a shared refrigerator. Breakfast is served nicely with an appetizer of fruit and yogurt. There is one hot selection each day. One day we had French toast. The next day there were scrambled eggs. At breakfast you share tables with other guests. In groups of 4. You can plot your time to eat so that perhaps you can have your own table.

The Bayview Inn is located on a hill overlooking Mahone Bay . The views are amazing, and the Inn itself is clean and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
