Beautiful home in a quiet setting - slept peacefully our first two nights in Newfoundland. Appreciated the heads up about picking up some groceries on our way there. Loved having a crib board to play with my son. This was my first time staying at a VRBO and it exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciated the ease of communicating with Harold.Thank you
Great outdoor area and large open space inside for family gathering

A Perfect Retreat by the Pond
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home nestled by a peaceful pond, surrounded by mature trees and local wildlife. The setting is serene and private - ideal for both quiet times and lively gatherings. The home itself is stunning, with three spacious bedrooms, cozy and comfortable beds, and a beautifully curated decor that made us feel right at home. The kitchen is impressive with everything you need for morning coffee or tea as well as a well stocked pantry, along with dishes and cookware making meal prep a breeze. One of the highlights was the large, well lit, covered patio, and the wrap around deck - perfect for socializing, enjoying morning coffee, or simply soaking in the natural surroundings. The hosts were exceptional - friendly and responsive, and generous with helpful directions and local tips. Check in was so easy. The property is clearly well maintained and secure, which added to our peace of mind throughout our stay. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a place to gather, this spot is a true gem.
