We have stayed in a lot of vacation spots and this home is close to the top! Highlights for us were the well stocked, spacious kitchen, garden deck with blooming peonies, comfortable beds and crisp linens, well furnished and designer feel rooms, and across the street access to Quidi Vidi lake for a daily walk. We also enjoyed a quick walk to Mallard Cottage for dinner and a hike up Sugar Loaf trail. All of the charm of St John’s with high end comforts!
The place was beautiful, large and spacious. The yard and decks were lovely to have. The neighbor too allowed us to use the fire pit which was excellent. My wife and I love having extra room so this place fit the bill. The house had everything we needed.Our Daughter and Son-in-law loved being with us and to walk the trail around the lake was great. Also the back deck gets morning sun and the front deck gets evening sun, which was perfect. John and RoseVancouver Canada
