As this was a business trip for me, I didn't get to enjoy the property as much as I would have liked. The cabin is located in a beautiful quiet area and the property is really private. The woodstove made the cabin really cozy in the evenings and the Mini Split kept the place warm when I was away. It was clean and had everything I needed.
The host was easy to contact and ensured everything was ok. I have stayed there several times and would definitely recommend it!
Perfectly situated for the day trips we wanted to do. Very private and peaceful place to return to each night - sunsets were gorgeous in this well-equipped, spotlessly clean cottage!
This property was great. It had everything I expected and was exactly as I thought it would be. I would recommend this property to others and I would stay here again.
Linda’s home was an extremely comfortable place for two couples to enjoy time while exploring in the Norris Arm Area of Central Newfoundland. Twillingate, Leading Tickles, Bottwood, Bishop’s Falls, and Grand Falls/Windsor were easy day trips from the house. While at the house we enjoyed meals on the deck overlooking Norris Arm . We found the house to be well-equipped and especially appreciated the owner providing drinking water as well as laundry supplies.

AWESOME SUNSETS
We really enjoyed our stay.
The location was perfect for getting around.
It was very private and peaceful, things very difficult to achieve with a rental property.
My husband caught his two salmon which was very exciting.
We would definitely recommend staying here and plan to return ourselves.
This was a great house and location for the four adults traveling together to use as a base for exploring the area. The spacious well-appointed deck was a delightful place to relax with a beverage or meal, and enjoy the lovely view of the water. The home, which was as expected from the photos in the listing, was also comfortable and well-appointed. We explored Gander, Twillinggate, Leading Tickles Area, Botwood, Grand Falls/Windsor (where we enjoyed the Salmonid Center), and King's Point using this home as our base before heading on to the Deer Lake area. I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in this area. Thanks for a lovely visit!

Nice clean accommodations
This property was nice clean & quiet.
For those that like privacy this Cottage was very private and secluded. Rooms were spacious but bedrooms lacked proper window coverings ie curtains & blinds.
