About this house rental
Located in Northern Newfoundland just 7 kms from the UNESCO World Heritage Viking Site at L'Anse aux Meadows, Annie's Retreat is a beautiful 160 year old traditional Newfoundland house that has been restored by E. Annie Proulx ( famous author) it is situated at the ocean front in the Village of Gunner's Cove. This incredible coastal retreat, just only 7 kms from the wonderful Norseman Restaurant. Be inspired by its breathtaking views and peaceful setting, walk on beach to look for beach glass , launch your kayak or have a fire on the beach. A wonderful contrast to your everyday routine; relax, breathe the fresh air, wander the hills in the area, beaches and meadows, watch the sunrise, explore where the first Europeans landed. "For a moment I thought time had stopped". Two beds rooms each with a queen. Living room/dining room and kitchen . Two bathrooms one with a bathtub and other with a shower , patio overlooking the ocean. Great for a couple , two couples or a family of four! Also child’s bed in open loft room! Door frames are low so if you are tall you might have to duck going to the rooms and walking on main floor the is a middle beam!

The location has great historical ties ("Annie's retreat") and if you are looking for a family friendly accommodation that has a cottage feel, or just something different and private, this is a great rental. We absolutely loved it!If you're more attentive to details, the following is my full review:PROS* Great host* Semi private beach. The waterfront is spectacular!* Gorgeous location & super convenient for northern activities (Viking village, zodiak boat tour, ...), and access to St. Anthony.* Clear check in instructions * Rustic and charming house* Spacious bedrooms* Games and DVD's available in the house* We slept well.CONSThe grounds felt a little neglected: We were there End of August; weeds had taken over the wooden pathway, and tons of mosquitoes. Cleanliness: We had to do some cleaning of our own in the first minutes upon our arrival.The furniture has seen better days. The couch should be replaced or re re-upholstred. It feels dirty, and worn out.The ceiling is really low on the main floor.No smart TV. Just cable.Although charming and rustic, the house needs a good dose of TLC and better wormanship.SUMMARYAt the price point we paid, I expected a higher quality accommodation. But, we enjoyed the accommodation and ourselves nonetheless.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Men are 6' 1" and 6' 4" tall. There is no mention of the low beams, door ways and stair case. Opened up my scalp going to the bathroom upstairs. Septic needs to be emptied. Sinks smell awful. Sink upstairs doesn't drain.Cleaner gave us the door code. Never heard from the owner.No ice trays in the freezer. Suggestion was search in another building up the road.Loved the location but its an old tired home.Cool that Annie Proulx wrote novels from there.
