The White House is beautifully situated in a quiet neighbourhood on a narrow branch of the Scoudouc River, minutes from heart of Shediac. We enjoyed sitting at the water’s edge or on the large comfortable deck, watching the sea birds and the nightly homecoming of the Canada geese. We could easily have cooked some good dinners in the well-equipped kitchen which Virginia had generously stocked with oils, dried herbs, good pots, pans and utensils (and a dishwasher). Instead, we took advantage of the many restaurants five minutes’ drive into town. Although the house is actually shared with Virginia, her husband and two delightful young daughters, the insulation between the two units is excellent and we never heard a sound from their side. Virginia is extremely kind and welcoming and quick to respond to any requests, but she and her family are very respectful of their guests’ privacy. During our stay, our senior dog had surgery in Moncton and he could not have had a better place to recover since there is ramp access to the house and deck, and a quiet neighbourhood for walks. Virginia had even provided a bag of his very favourite treats. And treats for us, too!
