About this property
Saltbox cottage
an eye to retaining its original character and warmth while making it functional with some more contemporary features.
The kitchen has a fridge, stove, oven, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, drip coffee maker, and a toaster.
There is also a smart speaker to answer your questions, update you with the news, or serenade you with music.
The first bedroom has a queen-sized futon that can be folded up to make it into a sitting room.
There are TVs in the living room and one of the bedrooms. Although there is no live TV, they do access Netflix, and Roku channels.
The washroom (toilet, sink, and shower) is on the ground floor by the back porch. There are two rooms upstairs: a bedroom with a double bed and a bedroom/den with a queen size futon that sleeps two.
The large back deck overlooks Clarke's Mountain and is accented with a gazebo. In the deck box you will find folding chairs. There is also a fire pit on the side garden.
If you go left on railbed at the back of the property, it will take you to Clarke's Beach Information Centre (museum) in the old station. A little farther down there is a children's playground and paddling beach at the community park.
This is perfect for a place to relax, or a use as a base camp for day trips from which to explore a beautiful and historic part of our province.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff Smith
We are social workers living in St. John's who have been working on restoring and modernising this 110 year-old modified salt-box. It has been a labour of love and we would like to share it with others.
Why they chose this property
Situated 90Km. from St. John's and 5Km. from Bay Roberts, this house is close to all the necessities, yet set off in an a quiet and beautiful town of Clarke's Beach. There are several historic communities to explore from here, as well as scenic walking trails taking you to breathtaking vistas. Alternatively, you can relax at the house and take in the view from the deck while grilling dinner on the barbecue.
What makes this property unique
The house is a ten-minute walk from Clarke's Beach Family Park which includes a beach on a freshwater pond.
As it is on the T-Railway, it is the perfect spot for hikers, off-road motoring, and snowmobiling.
