Communication with Donna was always prompt and pro-active both on check in and out. The home truly lived up to its characteristic of “wrapping you in warmth”. Everything was available for us to prep a wonderful meal for our local family and friends. The appreciation we felt for just renting the home was honest and “down home”.

Rodney and his group were fantastic guests. Rodney was easy to communicate with, easy going and cheerful. He was onsiderate and called me the day of checkin to let me know he would arriving late. The house was left very clean and tidy, like someone would take care

Restored Heritage House in Brigus, Nfld

A beautifully restored house filled with heritage furniture, well equipped large kitchen and a really nice rear patio- what more could one ask for. Loved it! One quick note- hopefully the exterior painting will get finished!

Even Better Than The Pictures

We rented the Fry House for the night before our wedding. The bride used the house for a location for people to congregate for hair and make-up on the morning of the wedding. It's located within a few hundred feet of the church and right in the heart of Brigus. An unexpected perk of renting this vacation home, is that it served as an excellent backdrop for pictures. This house is truly stunning. The Fry House has all the charm of a historic property but still has a cozy and welcoming feel. Donna was very understanding and accommodating. We would recommend this vacation home and we will definitely consider staying here again in the future.
