If anyone wants to experience a side of Canada that cannot be found in a corporate hotel or chain motel, a stay at Captain's House Bed and Breakfast is a wonderful place to begin.
Ross and Ginette have created something truly special. From the moment you arrive, you feel less like a customer and more like a welcomed guest in a historic home. The house is over a century old, beautifully maintained, impeccably clean, and filled with character, art, and fascinating details. One of the highlights of our stay was Ginette's breakfast, which was exceptional and easily comparable to meals served in much more expensive establishments.
What sets Captain's House apart is its celebration of Canadian heritage and culture. The home is filled with art, including works created by Ross, an accomplished artist whose talent is evident throughout the property. The atmosphere reflects the best of both French and English Canadian traditions: welcoming, creative, conversational, and deeply rooted in place.
Despite the many antique furnishings and historical features, the level of cleanliness and care is outstanding. Everything is thoughtfully maintained, allowing guests to enjoy the charm of the past without sacrificing comfort.
For those concerned about the shared bathroom, I would simply say that this may not be the right way to think about the experience. Captain's House offers something far rarer than a hotel. The value for money is remarkable, more importantly, this is a place with soul.
