The proprietor did call a local motel to ask if they had a room available, so at least I got a place to stay.

“The property needs some updating and general maintenance, but is a nice spot and friendly host.”
We paid extra for a full breakfast which was very good. The location was nice and quiet and the host very friendly.

“We'd happily return to the Forest Haven Inn any time we're in/near Tatamagouche :)”
Our hosts were very friendly, helpful and generous. Our corner room on the second floor had access to a balcony where we were able to see the dark starry night sky away in the countryside, but just outside of Tatamagouche, with no light pollution. Our hosts generously offered their time and resources to make sure we were comfortable and well-cared for.

“Great place and lovely room.”
Wonderful place to stay, set in countryside with wonderful views and a chicken coop nearby. The owner is rightfully proud of her lovely house, and the breakfast was fantastic.
