I'm staying at the Captain's Inn in Alma, New Brunswick. I recommend it.
I was going to post a bunch of photos but it took fifteen minutes to upload one so just the one teaser shot below. More when I get home.
Alma is one of the last perfect fishing villages left on the east coast. It also has some of the most beautiful fogs and, including the adjoining Fundy National Park, some of the best scenery you'll see anywhere.
It's so perfect that there isn't any mobile phone service here. It's so perfect that, in the off season, the restaurant in town closes at five so staff can go home and be with their families. All the hotels but one are closed up for the season. This is the only place I know of where you can still be like Mrs. Muir and fall in love with the ghost of a Sea Captain. (That novel, a minor masterpiece, isn't in print anymore, which is tragic.)
Here is the view from the top of the hill as you come down into town.
