I had the great pleasure of spending a few days at the Johnville Guesthouse. The experience was amazing! The house is situated in a beautiful sweeping landscape and has large windows on all sides to take it in. It was recently renovated, and is well equipped with all of the conveniences one would hope for, while maintaining the charm of a country home. The lovely mix of art and antiques work beautifully with modern comforts. It was more than comfortable for 2 and could easily accommodate 6! The owners live in the house next door. Anne was a perfect host, from the personal note and homemade muffins on arrival, to the great advice on what to see in the area. She was available when needed but gave us total privacy. The house was impeccably clean, with full laundry facilities on site and a well equipped kitchen. An exterior deck and barbeque gave us the perfect spot for summer evening meals. We got an extra surprise when the sweeping landscape transformed into a seemingly endless sky of millions of stars.
This lovely little house is a short drive to the town of Florenceville, where we found a world class restaurant (On the Boardwalk Café and Wine) an impressive public art gallery (The Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery), and several good trails for hiking. The St. John River (less than 10 min. from the Guesthouse) has spots to launch kayaks and the scenery is absolutely stunning. We will absolutely stay there again – already planning our next trip!
