Saint John is the port city of the Bay of Fundy and is the oldest incorporated city in Canada. It has long been a center of industry but hidden beneath its busy skyline is an active and developing cultural center with countless opportunities for travelers and residents alike. CNN Travel named the historic city a top destination for travel in 2024.
Inside the city, visitors can experience the oldest continually operating market in Canada, the world-famous Reversing Falls, the Saint John Arts Centre and a diversity of galleries, boutique shops, restaurants and world class venues for outdoor recreation.
Shadow Lawn Inn is located just 10 minutes from the city center and Saint John Airport (YSJ) and, like the city itself, has been hugely successful in blending its rich history with a modern sensibility. The Inn is the former summer home (circa 1870) of the founding partner of one of Saint John’s premier department stores, Manchester Robertson Allison (MRA), and offers upscale amenities and design throughout the Inn’s guest rooms and common areas.
The property offers 9 luxurious guestrooms all with private baths, individual heat controls, Wi-Fi and one with gas fireplace. Common areas include a capacious foyer with a grand piano, a sitting room with a dedicated bar, wood paneling and gas fireplace, the “Manchester” with attached deck for meetings, events or larger dining groups, a small dining room “Allison Room” for private events or smaller meetings and the Inn’s restaurant/dining room, The Robertson.
The dining program at Shadow Lawn Inn is open to guests and the public and offers regional dishes and classic cuisine, sourcing its produce, seafood and meat locally. The restaurant operation is supported by a fully commercial kitchen, and a topline hood system. There is ample storage space in the Inn’s attic and basement, the latter of which includes a small wine cellar and office. Owner’s Quarters is located at the back of the Main Inn building. While currently in use by owners, this space was previously rented as two long term apartments.
Current owners have made significant improvements to the asset and business during their tenure and the Inn is in exceptional order and ready for new owners to carry out their vision in an established and growing market. This luxury Saint John New Brunswick Inn is offered by The B&B Team at $2,775,000 (CAD).
