Casual elegance and intimate atmosphere surround you from the moment you enter our historic 18th century Country Inn as you feel the welcoming atmosphere! Your hosts and Innkeepers, Brenda and Cole Belliveau have brought to the Inn a love of travel, adventure and meeting people. It was a Belliveau who helped the Stief family in the 1700?s when they arrived on the shores of the Petitcodiac River. Their family trees are a unique blend of English, Scottish, Irish, English, French and Acadian ancestors. Their vision was to create an escape for guests where they could relax in the ambiance of old world charm while enjoying the modern amenities that one might not expect in a smaller property. Traveling to various parts of Britain, Europe, Canada, USA and the Caribbean plus four years of traveling for a previous employer led Brenda to understand what hospitality means to a traveler. Coles? military background also led him to Europe and various parts of Canada as well. Perhaps it was fate that these two wandering hearts would someday meet and join for another journey together!

Furnished with antiques, collectables and quality reproductions acquired from family, auctions and personal ?expeditions?, you will find unique and special stories from the Innkeepers about this charming property. Original hardwood floors and woodwork, spacious whirlpool suites, delicious breakfast menus in The Duffy Dining Room and the feeling of stepping back into the past where you will experience an atmosphere of true Maritime warmth and hospitality.

Located on Route 114, in the heart of the Bay of Fundy Coastal Drive, our scenic and historic village of Hillsborough is the official "Eastern Gateway to the Fundy Tidal Zone." Ten minutes from here are the world famous Rocks at Hopewell Cape where you can walk the ocean floor at low tide. Our area is filled with natural beauty, spectacular scenery, covered bridges, museums, artisans and crafts people, studios, lighthouses, Fundy National Park and so much more. The city of Moncton is twenty-five minutes north of the village.

We will wrap you in warmth in our five gracefully appointed guest suites as you unwind and relax in total comfort. You will feel the magic of this restored historic Steeves property, built by German settlers in 1786 and expanded in the early 1800?s.

Experience the true pleasures of the past in the ambiance of days gone by and let us entertain you. Memories are made for you at The Ship's Lantern Inn.
