About this property

The Big Red House is perfect for everything from a romantic weekend get-away, or an extended family visit to a long term stay over several weeks. Just ask and we will do our best to accommodate your travel needs.

This modern rendering of a traditional Newfoundland Salt Box House sits on over an acre of property with amazing ocean views!

You can hike the East Coast trail out the front door and watch whales, icebergs and migratory seabirds (in season) from almost every window. Enjoy the private yard with spacious deck & hammock, or relax in the open concept living area with 11' ceilings and exposed fir beams.

The house is located in historic Torbay, with easy access to downtown St. John's and the airport and only minutes to popular Middle Cove Beach where you can watch the capelin roll and enjoy an evening campfire.

This one of a kind property is the perfect location to experience the rich culture of Newfoundland and for the outdoor enthusiast to discover the Avalon Peninsula's many offerings. For those wanting to continue exploring Newfoundland, this house is about a 2.5 hour drive to Terra Nova National Park and a little over 3 hours to Gander.

The house has 4 bedrooms. The master has a king bed and ensuite, second and third bedrooms have double beds, fourth bedroom has single beds. Additional single loft beds in all three guest rooms.

Longer term rentals are available during off-peak times. Please contact us for details.

Great house, great location

We spent a week at the Big Red House (BRH) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Brie and the BRH team were very helpful and responsive with lots of proactive communications. The location was fantastic. Easy access to downtown St. John’s (~15 minute drive) and proximity to many of the East Coast Trails - with two sections within easy walking distance. The House itself was amazing. The large treed lot provides complete privacy and the views from the second floor are awe inspiring. We found the house was inviting and comfortable with all the amenities and equipment one would need for an enjoyable stay. We loved our stay and will be back at some point soon… Newfoundland is just too beautiful and the people are soooo friendly.

Big Red House was AMAZING

The Big Red House vacation was one of the best vacations we have ever had. Its close proximity to the city and the East Coast Trail was a huge bonus. The BRH was everything it is advertised as and more. I would highly recommend this property and we plan on coming back next year!!!
