Autumn in Telegraph Cove
Autumn in Telegraph Cove is a very chill and quiet time. All the rest of the tourists have headed home, and it's mostly locals and the foolhardy adventurous sort of traveller. Denise and Don's property was cozy and quiet with all the amenities you could as for as self-reliant guest, and afforded me a great base where I could enjoy breakfast and dinner, and prepare lunches for days exploring the north end of the Island. Denise was super helpful and welcoming, and I'd recommend staying here either as a stormy adventure in the offseason or as a destination vacation in the summer.

Home away from home
Denise and Don have created a wonderfully comfortable and unique space with one of a kind artistic touches. What amazing hosts: generous and kind, informative and helpful, and they had the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space. We have no hesitation recommending a stay with them.

Boom Boat Suite
Our stay at the Boom Boat suite was very relaxing with a lovely back yard with a bubbling fountain. The suite was very clean and quiet with new appliances. The futon was new and comfortable. The hosts are on site if you required anything. We will stay again.

Charming and unique
Such a charming “cabin” with unique features! Our only complaint is that the futon couch was not super comfy to sit on while watching TV at night. But in an area like this there isn’t much time to sit inside anyway.

This property is one-of-a-kind! Immaculate, Hand crafted by the hosts, the woodworking and artistic touches are outstanding!
