Centrally located in the heart of "Old Town" Lunenburg, the Boscawen Inn is perched on a steep site overlooking the harbour to the south and the municipal park to the north. This Victorian mansion was built in 1888 by Senator H.A.N. Kaulbach, one of the most influential figures in Lunenburg's history. It is Lunenburg's best example of the Queen Anne Revival style of architecture. Formerly known as "Boscawen Manor", the west wing was added in 1945 and the mansion was converted into an inn.

The Boscawen Inn has sixteen guest rooms, located on three levels. Additionally it offers dining, conference and banquet facilities.

McLachlan House, located directly across Lincoln Street from the Boscawen Inn, was built in 1905 for John W. McLachlan, a Dry Goods Merchant and Registrar of Births and Deaths. It features Lunenburg's only octagonal corner tower and is a designated heritage property. The veranda and exterior staircase, which has a certain "ship's bridge" quality about it, was reconstructed in 1993, based on old photographs.

McLachlan House offers four large guest rooms and a Bed and Breakfast atmosphere.

Perched on a hillside with commanding views of the harbor, the Boscawen Inn and McLachlan House are located only a few blocks from the waterfront and in the heart of famous Old Town Lunenburg. The Boscawen Inn faces Parade Square and can be seen in the background.

Both the Boscawen Inn and McLachlan House offer panoramic views of the Lunenburg harbor.
