Our 1870 Era Home
Our 1870 era home awaits you in picturesque Advocate Harbour. The Acadians originally settled this region, with the old Acadian dykes still in evidence. After the tragic expulsion of the Acadians in 1755, the Spicer’s obtained the land grant as one of the original settlers to the region from England in 1790. While retaining much of the charm of the original structure, you will enjoy all the comforts of our modern times in this completely restored home. Wireless internet available.
Your Private Entrance
This is your private entrance and deck. A wonderful place to enjoy the evening sun. Large chestnut trees provide shade from the noon sun. The old door has the original copper doorbell – quite unique in design!
Your Room
Your room has large bay windows overlooking the Bay of Fundy and town of Advocate Harbour. Light and airy, it is a quiet place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. You can come and go using the private entrance. You also may want to enjoy the comfort of the fireplace downstairs in the sitting room.
4-piece Ensuite Bathroom
Your 4-piece ensuite bathroom includes a claw foot tub and shower. It is a spacious place to relax after a day exploring the Cape Chignecto Park on foot or kayaking with us.

View From Your Room
One of the views from your room, overlooking Advocate Harbour. You can also enjoy the view of Cape d’Or and the Bay of Fundy. It is a place to relax and let go of the stress of everyday life. The field in the foreground is wild blueberries and a small creek runs through the willows on the edge of the blueberry field.
