This highly energy-efficient home was beautifully designed by local artist and house designer, Frank Lapointe, and completed in 2016 by an award-winning construction crew from Sweet Lumber Ltd.. With its high ceilings and timber frame interior it stands out as a unique coastal home that melds contemporary open design with traditional East Coast saltbox architecture. The home’s great room provides plenty of space - for simply lounging, or entertaining in front of the Norwegian gas fireplace, or enjoying the view from the dining room table for six, or cooking up a storm in the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen. The upper hall entertainment alcove, as well as the great room, each sport a large flatscreen TV with satellite internet and cable service. Free high-speed (250+ Mbps) WIFI internet service is available throughout the home. The two upper bedrooms, which boast floor-to-ceiling view windows and vaulted ceilings, share a full bathroom with double-sink vanity. The master bedroom on the main floor has its own ensuite bathroom. Outside entertaining may be done on the southwest deck, with an adjacent gas grill BBQ for outdoor cooking.
Tuckamore (def.): a strong wind-pruned evergreen found on the top of coastal hills in Newfoundland. Their growth exhibits the distinct character of leaning away from the ocean’s prevailing winds to thrive where others perish.

We had an awesome stay at Tuckamore. The sweeping views of the picturesque town of Trinity East and the sun setting over the ocean was breathtaking. The home was beautiful and well equipped for our needs. The hosts were gracious and always quick to respond to us, even going out of their way to warn us of a coming storm and provide us with an extra night to ensure our safety. Outstanding hospitality and beauty, we can’t say enough to recommend this lovely home.

What a lovely house and great spot. We wish we could have stayed longer. Amazing views and great proximity to the Skerwink trail. Tuckamore had everything our family of four could have asked for.
Tuckamore exceeded our expectations and was a wonderful place to stay during our vacation. The property allowed us to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery and local area, while the lovely interior provided us all the comforts of home and more. The hosts were extremely helpful and kind and made the experience so seamless. We were sad to leave and would love to stay again!
Wonderful house, beautifully situated and close to so many places we wanted to go. House has everything you could need to make yourselves at home. And it’s a very short walk to the beginning of one of the most beautiful trails ever.
Staying at Tuckamore was perfect for our family of 5 and for our exploration of the Bonavista peninsula. We hiked the nearby Skerwink Trail and visited other fabulous trails and sites like the Puffin nests. Also enjoyed the live musicians at the nearby Port Rexton Brewery. The hosts were very helpful in setting out information in a manual.
The house is stylish and well equipped. The owners gave us great advice about the area and were very responsive. Trinity East is a beautiful spot but being steps away from the Skerwink trail was magical. We did the trail twice in our short stay but wish we’d done it once or twice more.
The house was lovely and clean and just as advertised. It had great amenities and was close to many of the places we wanted to visit. Will definitely be back!

We loved our stay. The property is beautiful and we will definitely rent again in the future. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen which had much more utensils and equipment than the average rental.

About the host

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Trinity East many years ago, coming back year after year to enjoy the hospitality and charm of the local area and its people, and share the experience with family and friends. With its one-road-in and one-road-out access, this was the one place where our children were always able to safely experience the freedom on the land that many from NL cherish as a young children growing up. When we retired, we decided to build our own place so that we could stay longer and have a place where (hopefully) future grandchildren could experience the same. As a small working outport community, Trinity East has a decidedly rural pace, low traffic, and more privacy than that available in Trinity itself during the tourist season. Tuckamore is perched on a bluff which overlooks the immediate outport with views across the bay to Trinity itself. The property is an enchanting two-acre mix of forest and meadow with the occasional sighting of resident fox, snowshoe hare and moose, plus wild raspberries, blueberries and partridge berries available for harvest in season. With access to the famous Skerwink Trail right from your doorstep there can be no better encouragement to experience the best of Newfoundland's spectacular coastline. Day trips from this convenient central location on the Bonavista peninsula have exposed our family and guests to so much of Newfoundland's wonderful theatre, music, art, culture and heritage.
What makes this property unique
One of the reasons we chose to build on this property is the great south-facing panoramic view of Trinity East, the historic town of Trinity, Trinity Harbour and Lighthouse, and some of the giant sea stacks along the coast. We worked with local home designer and neighbour, Frank Lapointe, to fashion our all-season dream home, which harbours all the trapping of contemporary living with a nod to traditional saltbox architecture. The exposed timber frame structure that surrounds you when inside is a visible testament to the skill of the award-winning local crew from Sweet Lumber Ltd. who built the home. Finally, there is comfort in knowing that this home, with its 15-inch exterior walls, was built as one of the most well-insulated and heating-efficient homes on the coast.
