The "Witches Coven" is definitely whimisical and it is a fun place to stay. The unit was actually bigger than we expected and it is clean, quite comfortable and quiet. Sasha and Jeff are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. They checked with us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t have any problems with the unit during our stay. It has to be one of the best locations in Saint John. It is in the center of the city and we were able to walk to a lot of shops, restaurants and pubs. We went to quite a number of good restaurants and never had to worry about having a drink with dinner, because we were always able to walk back.
Had a wonderful experience staying. Amazing detail. So many things to look at. The host left a little gift for us. Kitchen had coffee and a few snacks.
We were a little concerned about arriving late but the host waited up to greet us. Really nice lady. Was a really unique experience. Would recommend staying here.
Very clean and spacious. Can’t say enough good things about the host. She’s a very friendly person.
Absolutely loved this stay, pet friendly, cozy and decorated so beautiful, the host went over and above to make our stay special and unforgettable, definitely will stay here again!!! Thank you
Everything was exactly as advertised! The Coven is decorated perfectly and the hosts were very responsive! We were 5 sisters so we used the cot and it was very comfortable as were the beds. The host was very thoughtful as there was a little gift for each of us upon our arrival. The location is perfect for visiting downtown Saint John within walking distance to shops, restaurants and markets.

Wow! If i could add bonus points for sheer whimsy, this place would earn them all!
The only warning i can provide about this place is that if you are only in St John for one evening (as we were), that you might get sucked into exploring the hundreds of fascinating details about this space at the cost of time to explore the city around it.
Even as we were packing to leave the next morning, we were still discovering details of the decor that we had previously overlooked. This plus the care and small gift packages left for us made this stay far and away the hilight of a long road trip.
The host was so friendly and accommodating. All of the little touches really add up - the welcome gift, the cozy and charming decor, prompt communication, excellent local recommendations! Our kids loved the woodland fairy room and the dragon in the bathroom. The location is perfect for exploring Saint John on foot and so easy to ditch the car with the included parking spot. So glad we didn’t have plans because all of the recommendations were perfect for our family. Catapult coffee for breakfast, Emporia for shopping, bubble tea, Tin Can beach to hunt for sea glass, a playground, St John City market for lunch and 506 for a sweet treat and games. Highly recommend for a fun whimsical visit right in the heart of Saint John.
This place is absolutely amazing!! I would stay here over and over again. It is cute, cool, clean and comfortable. Has everything you need and more. Host was lovely and easy to get ahold of.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff Bartlett
Originally from Vancouver BC we have lived the last 10 years in a big wooden boat in the heart of the city! I am an artist and had a well loved floating art studio/gallery in BC. Now living in beautiful Saint John I have poured my creativity into The Coven Guest House hoping it inspires creativity and fun in everyone who visits.
Why they chose this property
With a walking score of 100 its hard to find a better area to stay if you like good food, entertainment, artisan shopping, or a pint at the pub! Everything is a stones throw away.
What makes this property unique
Its fun witchy theme of course :) Around every corner something new to discover!
