Comfortable and Convenient in Lunenburg
The Dockside is a very welcoming place with a great view of the Lunenburg waterfront. Being an older building it has a few quirks, but the overall experience is about as good as it gets.

Never want to leave
Second stay at the Dockside Inn this vacation and it once again exceeded our expectations. We stayed in room 6 and it was so cozy, charming and clean. Recently renovated and very spacious. And not to mention the view!! A must stay. Food at the restaurant is very yummy and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and beyond. If I could rent a room here year round and never go back home I would. Thank you to Mike and Kyle (owner/son) for making our visit that much better. I will for sure be back!!

A MUST stay and eat!
I have stayed in Lunenburg twice now and the Dockside Inn and Restaurant is the ONLY place I will stay now. The charm, friendliness, location, vibe and comfort are everything here. Prior to my arrival, Kyle was extremely helpful with organizing some stuff for my moms 70th birthday and they went over and above with what I was expecting. Just amazing. We stayed in room 1 over looking the ocean and it was spacious, cozy, had everything we needed. Only thing it could have had was some towel hooks and some ice cube trays. But it by far was not a deal breaker. Can’t wait to stay in a different room in a few days when we make our way back!!

It’s an old building but has been taken care by the owners / operators. Location is great. Free parking is minimum available, a hit or miss, common in Lunenburg, but, there is full day paid parking at very short distance.
