Grand Manan island is nice and quiet. Pam is a friendly host and we got the room with access to the front door. It got light from 3 sides - bright during the day.
Many houses in the island are not newly built. I found they are rustic and cozy. By the most fresh food as well as gas are cost more than the other side of the shores, brings some along (as there are only limited numbers of stores on the island). Don't forget to stop by Sunrise Seafood for fresh lobsters (cost less than restuarant).
