B&B
While family remains at the heart of the B&B, the surrounding community plays an important role in the guest experience. Outside the walls of the home, Natasha has embraced the Miramichi region as a partner in experience. Guests can enjoy “River and Rest” fishing excursions or join walking history tours that start at the front door. Within blocks are craft breweries, a beer garden with live music, distilleries, restaurants, and the scenic Ritchie Wharf. “We do little things to increase the guest experience,” Natasha said, referencing their collection of wrapped books labeled only with brief descriptions or the postcards we provide for our guests to write home about their stay in Miramichi and New Brunswick. “If you just want to kick back and relax, you can do that here at the B&B.” Looking ahead, Natasha is planning to expand her offerings beyond overnight stays. Themed afternoon teas are in development for 2026, as are additional guest experiences that don’t require an overnight booking. “Whether you’re local or traveling through,” she said, “we want people to experience the home in different ways.”
Down East Comfort supports local businesses and growers, sourcing local ingredients and products when and where possible to enhance the East Coast experience. “We are constantly seeing new ways to meet more needs of our guests and add value to their stay and promote the region and all that it offers. There is so much to do and see in the Miramichi region.” Natasha said. With its inviting suites, exceptional food, and homegrown hospitality, Down East Comfort is not only redefining what it means to stay in Miramichi - it’s proving that a dream rooted in heritage and heart can flourish. Natasha’s dream took years to materialize. But when the timing was finally right, she and Larry were ready. When asked what advice she would offer aspiring entrepreneurs, Natasha didn’t hesitate. “If you have an idea and a dream, really take the time to look into it and see how you can make it a reality.”
Guests can have a beautiful experience that leaves them fully rested and recharged.
