The main front part of the building right at the corner of Bedford and Main was the residence of W.H. Fredenburgh, one of the early merchants and lumbermen. It was built around 1876 and has been extended multiple times since then. It was first used as a hotel in the 1930s and was owned by Alex and Lena Brown who called it the Lexena Hotel. This title stamp can be seen on the hearth in front of the fireplace in the Dining Room. The original bar and wooden beer cooler with “Tweedsmuir” inscription still exist today!

The Cove Dog Policy Overview
UNDER ONTARIO LAW: Service dogs are legally permitted in all public areas of the restaurant, including indoor dining spaces. These dogs assist individuals with disabilities and may be identified by a harness, vest, or documentation from a regulated health professional. Non-service dogs, including emotional support or therapy animals, are not permitted indoors unless the restaurant serves only pre-packaged food and no food preparation occurs in the dining area. Outdoor patios may welcome non-service dogs at our discretion, provided food is not prepared in that area. If the customer has no documentation to show they need the animal for their disability or if it is not immediately obvious the animal is a service animal (e.g., wearing a vest or harness), then there are no requirements under the AODA that the animal be allowed to accompany the customer.
