Join us, and feel the spirit of old times that flows throughout this genuine place with its cultural tone set out for our journey inspired by history. The endearing features and unique architecture of our converted church in an idyllic location combined with the gracious warmth and hospitality offers numerous options to our guests. You too can be an explorer to discover riches both inside and out.
Through the front door, you will be greeted by the Provincial Historic Trust sign and an old door opening into space.
Kitchen - Taste the local plates of flavours through the fully fitted, galley-style kitchen complete with all the appliances and carefully combined colours, and a casual dining island.
The laundry is in a closet next to the kitchen. An interesting coat hanger greets you in the open space.
Living room - Past the kitchen, the living space opens two levels high with sweeping views inside and out. Due to this, we say it converted church in an idyllic location. The area features a more formal eating space and living room area with a propane fireplace and access to the back deck overlooking Quidi Vidi.
First bedroom - The master bedroom is off to the left of the kitchen on the ground floor. Matching in the style of the whole property, the bedroom is spacious with plenty of natural light.
Second bedroom - The second floor features a second bedroom with a queen-sized bed, TV, and generous windows. The second floor bathroom has a claw foot tub. Highlighting a beautiful quiet reading area with plenty of books.
The back deck of our converted church in an idyllic location also features a sweeping vista of Quidi Vidi Harbour. To the left, you can see the East Coast Trail heading up to the north of the city past old fishing stages and heading out toward Red Cliff Marine Station and Marine Lab. There is also a Propane BBQ and eating area on the back deck which is quite private as well. Use our binoculars and see if you can get a glimpse of the eagles that live nearby. More than eagles, you will see plenty of seabirds.
You have access to the full house except for a locked closet for supplies and the workshop next to the house.
Lots of parking on the property in front of the house/workshop and to the left of the workshop

Neighborhood overviewYour home away from home is at the entrance to Quidi Vidi Village as you travel down around the head of Quidi Vidi Lake - home of the Royal St. John's Regatta, North America's oldest sporting event. The Regatta runs the first Wednesday in August (weather dependent) and features fixed seat rowing, food, and plenty of games of chance.
Just before you get to the converted church in an idyllic location, there is a large parking lot across the river from the Pond to the harbour which features a number of species of fish that travel the route in-land and out to sea. A place to park if you wish to hike or go into the village to explore.
