The largest suites are on the second floor. The “Chandler Suite" with its king size bed and bay window, and "Keillor Suite", with its period four poster bed. They both have elegant functioning original slate, natural gas fireplaces. The third-floor suite is the “Landry Suite,” This suite also includes a generous sitting area. One of the features of the room is a restored coal burning stove from the mid-1800s. This has been brought back to its original condition with a realistic insert that mimics the ambiance of its original use. The furnishings are a mix of period furniture and modern comforts. The en suite bathrooms have been described as a sanctuary. Very spacious rooms with elegant period-appropriate vanities, generous glass and ceramic walled walk-in showers, rainfall shower heads. There’s also large claw foot soaker tubs with vintage styling and faucets to top off the experience. These features are all surrounded by beautiful ornate Italian ceramic tile, which include heated floors to add to your comfort. One of our most exceptional features is our generous third-floor patio. This year-round space has one of the best views in the village. The hills of Westmorland County to the East, or Shepody Mountain and the Bay of Fundy to the West. A morning coffee at sunrise is stunning. Stargazing at night is spectacular as well. This space can be enjoyed in the winter with a heater, hot chocolate, and blankets for two, or in the summer with a refreshing drink. There is never a bad view or time of year to enjoy the peace and solitude this space can provide. For even more privacy, the patio area off of the kitchen may hit the spot. It is nestled by a large gully shaded by many 100-year-old trees. The comfortable, large private deck is also a nice spot to enjoy a meal or drink. The tranquillity and peacefulness the area provides can be enjoyed on the deck or you can take the exit to explore the acres of beautiful countryside.

The manor has a front porch and a grand entrance door that welcomes you to an original and elegant three-story walnut staircase, 10-foot ceilings, ornate plaster medallions, and mouldings. These lead to the grand living room, which measures 30’ x 15’. It is furnished with period furniture and décor that invite you to enjoy the restored slate and natural gas fireplace. The formal dining room, which is intimate enough for two and large enough for 18, is where our signature candlelight multi-course hot breakfasts are served. The quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, and the warmth of custom cabinetry create a wonderful combination of vintage elegance and modern functionality. Further connections to the history of the house can also be found in the kitchen. There are two sets of stairs to the servant’s quarters, a couple of quaint pantries, and an exposed brick section of chimney that comes off of the original bread oven used to warm the kitchen in the winter.

The village of Dorchester overlooks Shepody Bay and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, being part of the Fundy UNESCO biosphere. Nearby are the village’s two museums, the Keillor House and St. James Presbyterian Church, and The Bell Inn. Built in 1811, the inn is the oldest stone structure in New Brunswick. Each year, between mid-July and mid-September, more than 80% of the world’s Semipalmated Sandpipers flock to the shores of Johnson’s Mills, just minutes from the Village center
