My name is Ian Fair and I would like to welcome you to our website!
Ten years ago, I decided it was time to retire. At this time, I opened a Bed & Breakfast in our family home.

Our property is a peaceful retreat located on the largest freshwater lake in Dartmouth, gorgeous Lake Charles.

My wife, Leslie continued teaching school until two years ago when she joined me in the daily running of our Bed and Breakfast. Our home is artfully set up where guests can enjoy one of our two room suites. These suites with private entrances offer a great deal of privacy. We strive to keep our Bed and Breakfast as casual as possible encouraging our guests to treat our home as their home away from home.
