The home sits on a large piece of land overlooking Robin's Cove. The views can be enjoyed from all rooms in the home, as well as from the large wrap around deck.

The property was built by the owner's Grandfather Tom in 1914. He was a Skipper on schooners fishing off the Labrador coast. Hence the name "Skipper Tom's".

Excellent location
The only suggestion I have is that the kitchen exhaust fan needs to be vented to the exterior. Cooking smells occasionally permeated the interior.

Wonderful Twillingate
The property was absolutely outstanding although a little hard to find! We drove right by it the first time. It was well worth the time looking for it!

Twillingate gem
We stayed for a week early August and absolutely loved the place and location. The house itself is adorable and retaining its historical charm with modern amenities. Spotlessly clean, spacious, very comfortable (especially the beds)! We felt right at home, and especially loved the daily visits from the neighbourhood cat Taz - what a doll! Close to the water and several hiking trails - we did a trail everyday. Did a whale watching boat tour (Ocean Quest), browsed local shops, visited Fargo Island and enjoyed a birthday dinner at Georgie’s. Wonderful vacation and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!!
