What a beautiful home with an amazing view. Upon our arrival we watched whales spouting in the water below! A highlight was being about to hike the Skerwink Trail without having to get in a car.The home is well appointed and perfectly met our needs! Many thanks.

Excellent property. We were very fortunate to get it last minute. Hiking was closed in Gros Morne NP so we decided to go see the puffins. This was the only property available. When we arrived the three lady travellers I was with all exclaimed how great a job I did picking the property. I told them it was my first choice of exactly one choices LOL. The property is new and well equipped. The layout was excellent and the views stunning. Good parking access. WiFi worked very well. Communication was good. No problems overall. Highly recommended.
