About this house rental
Welcone to The Jolly Moose!
NOTICE : Before submitting a booking request for the Summer of 2023, please make sure to secure your car rental, as availability of rental cars in Newfoundland may be limited.
In the middle of Gros-Morne National Park, designated as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, sits the quaint village of Rocky Harbour.
The village is an enclave within Gros Morne National Park, and thus residents and tourists alike are close to hiking trails with spectacular views, boat tours, heated indoor swimming pool with hot tub and cross-county ski trails in season.
Our house sits on the south shore of Rocky Harbour. It has its own beach and wharf. Rocky Harbour is a working fishing harbour so expect to see fishermen heading out towards the lighthouse in the early hours of morning and returning laden down with catches from mid-morning onwards. Our wharf and beach gather the flotsam and jetsam of a fishing port. Although care should be taken when playing in this area, great fun can be had exploring the beach fossicking treasures washed in by the sea.
The rental property is a modern and spacious (1400 sq. ft., or 130 sq. meters) house on the water front. The covered veranda/deck is an ideal spot to sit with an early morning cup of coffee or tea to read a book or just enjoy the solitude of the breaking day. During spring, summer and fall it is ideal for eating outdoors, watching the sun dip on the horizon.
Be it in winter (typically milder than on the continent due to maritime climate) or in summer (fresher, for the same reason), the area offers multiple opportunities for outdoor activities. Swimming is reserved for the strong-willed souls (water temperatures range from 12 to 16C degrees in summer and from 0 to 5C degrees in winter).
The main bedroom offers glimpses of Gros Morne from the bedroom window, which reveals the ever-changing colours and character of this impressive landform. The room is tastefully furnished with Queen-sized bed and bedside tables, quality bed linens and has its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom.

We had a great stay at Marcel & Ruth's - their place is spacious, well appointed and clean. The internet, BBQ and applicances worked well, and we even had a family Scrabble night (with teenagers!) after browsing their selection of board games. Rocky Harbour is a great central location to explore all that Gros Morne has to offer. Be sure to stock up on groceries in Deer Lake as the local stores have only limited supplies. Also consider wearing bug repellent in the morning and evening in Rocky Harbour, the no-see-ums were in full force in early August! Note the Vrbo listing is incorrect - there are actually two full bathrooms (one is ensuite to the master bedroom), not one!

Great location for exploring and relaxing in the Park. Accommodation was very comfortable and well appointed. Great for four people.

Very well situated. Quiet with all the commodities. Loved Gros Morne, Western Bay Brook and the Tablelands. The fish market at the end of the street is also excellent. Hope to come back.

Not our best Vrbo experience. Could use some freshening up. The pictures really did not reflect the house too well.
