Description from the owner
The Yellow House is a thoughtfully renovated 1850's salt box house quietly situated on the southern shore of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula β voted the best coastal destination in the world by National Geographic magazine. It feels like another world yet it is just 45 minutes from St John's International Airport and has the advantage of wireless internet.
The house is in the settlement of Tors Cove (population 325 when everyone is at home) and has stunning views of the ocean and rocky shoreline. It is comfortably furnished for up to four people. The bright blue front door opens directly on to the East Coast Hiking Trail β one of Ne...Read more

Nova ScotiaA Truly Beautiful Spot
Left on 09/22/2012 for a stay in October 2011
We spent Thanksgiving weekend at The Yellow House. It is located in beautiful Tors Cove. We had fabulous weather for hiking on tThe East Coast Trail (pretty much right outside the door). We experienced spectacular sunrises, starry nights ands lots of peace and relaxation. The house is equipped with everything you need, all you have to bring is your food. Even had a roaster for cooking our turkey dinner. Mary acts as the property manager, she's sweet, live across the street. There is a grocery store about a 10 minute drive. Book a stay @ The Yellow House and your stay will be all you want it to be and more. Also, Jean the lady who looks after the reservations makes it a breeze to get your visit arranged.

WinnipegRelaxing with a beautiful view
Left on 05/25/2012 for a stay in May 2012
We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children. We loved the space and the views. Coming from the Prairies - seeing the view of the cove each morning was terrific. Exploring the trails nearby was a treat (and the walking sticks provided were a hit with the adults and the kids). It felt like a true vacation staying here (instead of just a hotel room in St. John's). Would recommend the Yellow House to anyone who's looking to get away and relax. Also, Mary (lives across the street) is very friendly and helpful.

Bath, United KingdomVery comfortable base for avalon Peninsula
Left on 10/17/2011 for a stay in September 2011
Lovely detached, fully equipped house with lots of nice touches - house is used occasionally by the owners so you feel that they are genuinely creating a home-from-home experience. Plus the delightful Mary lives opposite and provides helpful advice and a lovely welcome.
We had amazing weather and views for our 3 night stay. But even if you were less lucky with the weather, this house is in a great location for trips to St John's or down around the peninsula.
If you are touring Nfld, we also recommend Seaside Suites at Woody Point, Elizabeth J Cottages at Bonavista, and River Tides B&B; at Norris arm. -

We loved where the yellow house was situated in this lovely little cove and an awesome view of the atlantic Oean. The house was comfortable, offering all the appliances to make life easy, and great bed linens. We knew we were on Vacation! Jean helped us with the local attractions, and Mary, the neighbour, made our visit so much fun, by directing us to other places of interest. Her blueberry cake was also first rate!
