The painting is done, the lawn has been mowed and all the deck furniture is out and ready to go! It was a productive weekend and now we are anxiously awaiting our first guests of the season ❤️

We are excited to be opening soon for season three ! Recently we were very fortunate to host the fabulously talented at the cottage. She captured so many shots, as seen here, and each was more beautiful than the last!

If you’re looking for a quaint cottage a short drive from St. John’s with rustic charm and modern amenities, this is the stay for you! Located in the scenic Brigus South, there’s 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. The woodstove adds to the cozy atmosphere or you can blast the A/C on a hot summer day. Located directly on a beautiful pond and minutes from the East Coast Trail, there’s plenty to do whether it’s a romantic weekend away or a family vacay.

We look forward to seeing you!

The fall is the perfect time to cuddle up under a warm blanket at the cottage and enjoy the woodstove. You can take in the fall foliage while hiking the ECT and then head to one of the amazing nearby restaurants for a delicious supper - or cook your own in our fully equipped space. Don’t overlook for your autumn escape from the city. For October and November we are doing a special where, if you book two nights, you get a third night free!
