About this property

Ocean front - Annie’s Retreat - near L’Anse Aux Meadows - Blue Cottage

Located in Northern Newfoundland just 7 kms from the UNESCO World Heritage Viking Site at L'Anse aux Meadows, Annie's Retreat is a beautiful 160 year old traditional Newfoundland house that has been restored by E. Annie Proulx ( famous author) it is situated at the ocean front in the Village of Gunner's Cove. This incredible coastal retreat, just only 7 kms from the wonderful Norseman Restaurant. Be inspired by its breathtaking views and peaceful setting, walk on beach to look for beach glass , launch your kayak or have a fire on the beach. A wonderful contrast to your everyday routine; relax, breathe the fresh air, wander the hills in the area, beaches and meadows, watch the sunrise, explore where the first Europeans landed. "For a moment I thought time had stopped". Two beds rooms each with a queen. Living room/dining room and kitchen . Two bathrooms one with a bathtub and other with a shower , patio overlooking the ocean. Great for a couple , two couples or a family of four! Also child’s bed in open loft room!

Ocean front property where whales, icebergs, seals, and sea birds frequent in the bay. Moose, foxes, rabbits, mink and other critters have often been seen here too!

Starlink internet! Basic Satelite tv ! Fresh artesian well water. Laundry room on property shared with two other houses. 12 acres of our private land that you can roam! Plan with your friends. Yellow cottage is good for a family of four or two couples and petal’s is good for one couple!The norseman Restaurant-in L’Anse aux meadows is located only 8km away from this cottage. Electric baseboard heaters in each room but also have a fireplace where you can buy firewood at the Vikingrv park just 3kms away from the house.

Old World Charm on the Ocean
We absolutely loved staying here. It was peaceful, beautiful and best of all, right on the water. We would definitely stay here again.

Private cottage on the bayshore
We stayed in Annie's Retreat (the blue house - there are two) in August 2023. Pros: -- Beautiful location, secluded -- Clean, roomy (for a single 3-person family) house, well-heated -- Easy check-in, responsive host -- Convenient to dining, L'Anse Aux Meadows Cons: -- Squeaky main floor bedframe -- Deck has holes from rotted wood Good to know: -- No dishwasher -- Laundry in separate building on property, $3.50CAD/load -- Steep driveway to access

Lovely Home
This is one lovely home - we enjoyed our stay. The location is fantastic, the home has a ton of character and charm and was well stocked with everything we needed. Just watch your head if over 6’ - some of the doorways and ceilings are low :) We would recommend this home to anyone looking to explore the beautiful Northern Peninsula. Thanks!

Wilderness Serenity
We stayed at this location in the Blue House this June for 4 nights. While staying there, we saw a huge iceberg which was there for all 4 days. The locals said it was several miles long. We also were sitting on the deck on the back of the house and watch whales in the cove. We had a moose that visited every day and a couple of very cute bunnies. We stayed as two couples so this was a perfect place with two floors and two bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed but was a bit disorganized. While there, we visited local sites such as the Viking Village and St Anthony. The house is secluded and peaceful. I hated to leave.

Tranquil Historic Location
The property is a charming historic house located in a quiet cove on the water near L’Anse aux Meadows. We really enjoyed the many features of this home and found it very comfortable.
