Fantastic house for the five of us adults. Well appointed kitchen, great views out the front window, comfortable beds, even a nice hike up the hill with even broader view of town and coastline. Very enjoyable town to stay in, with great hikes and evening entertainment.

A quick but wonderful stay

We really enjoyed staying in this home while visiting Twillingate. It offered a wonderful view of the town and harbour. it was very well kept and comfortable. Since my wife and I were travelling with two friends they each had their own bedroom and there were two bathrooms, which made morning preparation before our boat excursion possible.

Great views of Twillingate. Easy access to restaurants and iceberg tours. The house was very clean and had local art work. Near a nice hiking trail to the cross monument to town members lost at sea. Lovely flowers around the yard in summer.

A wonderful stay for a wedding weekend with friends! House is fully equipped with anything you may need for a stay. The house is beautiful, as well as the view. Would recommend this stay for anyone. The only downside is that the basement is infested with carpenter bugs, so none of us felt comfortable using the shower. Besides this the house is incredibly clean!
