This beautiful, well-maintained, old house is a reminder of my youth; a time when life was simpler and we dared to let our children play on the street after school; when we didn't worry about inflation, tariffs or crime on the street. Step back with me to narrow plank wood floors, fireplaces that burn wood, not natural gas, creaky stairways to the upstairs bedrooms. But that's about where the "old" ends. The kitchen has all the modern conveniences, the main bath has a luxurious soaker tub and the beds are comfortable with elegant linens. You enjoy all the modern conveniences in an elegant 19th century mansion. Wait! There is still more. Molly, the hostess, is phenomenal. She provided us with advice on which restaurants to visit, things to see and do, including museums, parks and the NB legislature building. She responded to every query within minutes and took a real interest in ensuring that our stay in Fredericton is one that we will fondly remember as long as we live. We loved this place and were sad to have to leave.
