The Pilgrim House

Come home for a rest in our oceanfront Newfoundland homestead located a stones throw from the harbours edge. The UNESCO Historical Viking Site and the Viking Norstead Port of Trade are just minutes away in Lanse Aux Meadows. Enjoy local food and maybe take a boat tour to view icebergs and whales if they are in the area. We welcome every person from every place to come make memories at our house. Unwind and enjoy a still summer morning as the sun rises and lights up the face of White Cape. The space This is a traditional Newfoundland home that was built in 1948 from board that was sawn by the builder, my father. This ocean view house is old and has character. The ceilings are low(78 1/2”, beams 72”), the floor creaks, and the doors don’t fit perfectly, but the atmosphere is cozy and comforting. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a propane barbecue grill on the back deck. The two bedrooms have queen beds and are bright and roomy for an old house of this style. Not every day is a beautiful day in NL, but you can warm up with a quilt and read a good Newfoundland book from the bookcase if the weather doesn’t permit exploring the beautiful rugged coast. You can light a fire near the water, tip your head back and see the Milky Way as you have never seen it before. The grass is long and the flowers are wild. Please contact us for info on out of season stays. Guest access You have access to the entire house and are welcome to explore the property. The fishing stage and wharf are not accessible and are off limits. There is no access to the old twine store (shed) located on the property.
