DesBarres Manor Inn in Nova Scotia, Canada

The romantic seacoast village of Guysborough, Nova Scotia, is about 10 and a half hours northeast of Portland, Maine, and about three hours and 15 minutes north of Halifax, Nova Scotia. (The trip from Halifax can take up to six and a half hours if you choose the smaller, much windier coastal roads.) But travelers willing to make the trip to this remote getaway can stay in the luxurious DesBarres Manor Inn, a bed and breakfast where the current owners have been serving guests since 2003.
