Pumpkin House ~ a museum guesthouse experience

Welcome to the Pumpkin House, a unique Newfoundland heritage home with a super cozy vintage vibe! Ideal for couples and groups of upto 5. The home has 3 bedrooms and 1 & 1/2 bathrooms. Built in 1872, we've lovingly restored and outfitted the home with a curated collection of antiques. Inside and out, its period design and colours transport you and your senses back in time. Here a stay here is more than just a stay, it's an experience in modern day time travel paired up with warm and authentic hospitality.

HGTV called the Pumpkin House “One of the Coolest Canadian Airbnbs”, come and experience why for yourselves. With a classic layout, all bedrooms are located upstairs and the living spaces are on the main floor. The living room has comfy seating ideal for 4 guests. Put your feet up, check out some of the vintage books, parlour games or simply stream some of your faves on the smart tv.

The Victorian dining room is perfect for a games night marathon (we supply the board games) or enjoying a supper whipped up in the farmhouse style kitchen. We stock our kitchen with the basics and essentials for cooking and baking and of course fresh ground coffee for the French press, making for a great cup of coffee.

Outside, the wrap-around patio allows you to chase the sunshine all day long. With wooden benches and ample seating it's perfect for bird watching or just kicking back and letting the worries of the world melt away. Be sure to catch some of the most beautiful sunsets that take to the skies and have given Twillingate a reputation for incredible sunsets.

For our guests taller than 6 feet, just a heads up the lowest ceiling heights are 6'7". As the Pumpkin House was built long before the days of our modern day building codes, it still retains its original 19th century architecture. Therefore it may not be suitable for all and all accessibility needs.

To fully experience the magic of Twillingate combined with the experience of the Pumpkin House itself, we (and our guest reviews) highly recommend planning a minimum stay of three nights.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
