    Churchill Mansion Country Inn Yarmouth in Nova Scotia
    Property Description

    Located just 9 miles from Yarmouth, the Victorian summer home of shipping magnate Aaron (Rudder) Churchill. Churchill Mansion is a registered Nova Scotia heritage property and has retained much of its original charm. The beautiful country estate overlooks picturesque Darling Lake.

    High upon a hill overlooking two lakes and the Bay of Fundy, Churchill Mansion Inn offers beautiful views on every side. If you want to do more than look, then sandy ocean beaches, walking trails, bicycling, and canoeing on the lake are all nearby.

    The mansion was built by Aaron Flint Churchill in the 1890's as a place for his family to retire to for holidays. While Aaron was a wealthy businessman in Georgia, the serenity and peace of his Nova Scotia homeland was too irresistible. We are sure you will find his home equally alluring.

    We are just nine miles north-east of Yarmouth on Route #1 (The Evangeline Trail). We have rooms with either one or two beds. Some of our rooms now have jacuzzi-style tubs and gas or simulated fireplaces. We have two large sitting rooms for television, music or good conversation. Three meals a day are available, starting with a full breakfast, lunch, and concluding with a seafood buffet accompanied by stories of Aaron Churchill, his home and the surrounding area.
