This was my first solo trip and booking with Vrbo. Not only was the cabin beautifully decorated, but the hosts also provided some Newfoundland snacks to try and were responsive to all my questions. I had a wonderful stay here.

Exactly as described. Very thoughtful little gift basket waiting for us when we got there. The people who owned the cabin near by were super friendly and very kind folks. Use of the Kayaks were a huge benefit!

We had an excellent stay at this cottage, enjoyed the hot tub while watching the sunset. The cottage is fully equipped with everything needed to cook meals, read a book, play games and enjoy the outdoors, lake and have a bonfire. The welcome basket was a special touch, included marshmallows, popcorn and more treats. Wish we had more time to spend there.

This cottage was a little piece of heaven for us. Remote but within an hour max to everywhere we wanted to go. The cottage is so quaint and comfortable- they have created a real home away from home feel. The kayaks were great ! The view of the water and watching the sunsets was beautiful. Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful escape.

Elaine and family were perfect guests! You would hardly know anyone had stayed at the cottage, they left it is such great shape at check-out. We hope you enjoyed your visit, despite the rain, and hope you can make it back again in the future. All the best!

Perfect close to the city get away!

Wonderful property with amazing hosts! They were incredibly responsive and provided clear, detailed instructions for everything. The cabin is fully equipped with everything you could need for a short or extended stay. We especially loved the two fire pits—one near the cabin and another by the pond. The boathouse was a bonus, stocked with camping chairs, kayaks, life vests, and more! Even the dirt road leading to the cabin was in good shape, if you’re not driving a truck or SUV. This place is now my top choice for future stays!

excellent property

This was an awesome choice for a three night stay in the area surrounding St. Johns. We were welcomed with little considerate touches which included a welcome note and some toiletries, which was not expected. It was super comfortable and super quiet...not a soul in sight, which was perfect for us. Chris replied to every message i sent and was a super host. thanks!!!

I couldn't have been happier with this rental. It is private, well maintained and absolutely stacked with amenities. The hosts are extremely kind and receptive to all questions. The location is in the middle of everything that we wanted to see and do. I would absolutely stay again and suggest a stay to anyone looking in the area.

The property was absolutely beautiful, from the time we arrived it felt like a home away from home.between Soaking in the hottub watching the sunset, kayaking around the pond and the quiet peaceful nights around the fire was nothing short of amazing. When you live a busy life you forget how therapeutic a place like this can be. We already can’t wait to come back.
