★BEST VIEW Wonderland ★ Cozy Cabin on Pond

There is no better time to enjoy #thecountryexperience

"The Country" sits on a one-acre mature treed lot.
Only 50 minutes from either St. John's Airport or the downtown.

Accommodation at Best View Wonderland

Our master bedroom with ensuite features a comfy queen sized bed with rod iron frame and library of lots of books for guest reading. The ensuite bathroom has tub/shower enclosure.

Bedroom 2 - features a queen sized bed and lots of childrens toys and movies. There is also a TV with DVD/VHS player.

The third (Middle) bedroom has a queen sized bed with TV for movie watching (DVD) and a collection of board games.

We can also provide an air mattress if you have an extra guest.

-FUN with a family or friends-
A large gathering living place with wood burning fireplace and plenty of sitting space.
We have a Wall-mounted TV - for movies only and over 120 different titles from Casablanca to This is 40. This TV also has a Roku Stick giving access to your favorite streaming channel.

At Best View Wonderland, you will enjoy the kitchen which is fully equipped with everything you need and the kitchen table can comfortably seat 8.

We have plenty of board games, a huge assortment of children's movies, and legos and crafts

Outside the patio door, there is a huge deck perfect for suntanning and for BBQ.

The deck overlooks the wonderful Hawco's Pond - a Newfoundland version of a lake. 7 Miles long with plenty of interesting places to explore.

We have left most of the front area wild - allowing for an interesting assortment of bushes and berry plants. Bird feeders at Best View Wonderland property attract plenty of different bird visitors depending on the season and you can also see partridge/grouse, squirrels and Newfoundland Hare. If you are really lucky perhaps a moose will come by for tea.

We have a large lower deck, 16ft floating dock, and a boat launch area that has been damaged by ice. The lower deck is great for summertime picnics, suntanning or watching the kids play in the water.

The floating dock extends 24 feet out from the land and the water is at least 12 feet deep off the end of the dock perfect for diving into the pond or sitting down and dangling your feet in the water.

We have a large area down below to turn a truck and trailer to launch a boat or Seadoo into the pond. Hawco's Pond is great and you can have fun all day.

We also have a canoe on the property for guests to use with plenty of life jackets and we have lots of floaties for water play.

In the summer, you will be treated to amazing sunsets as the sun sets directly across the pond from the back deck only at this Best View Wonderland. Our sunsets are sublime.

-Local Activities-
Enjoy golfing at one of Newfoundland’s finest courses, The Wilds or visit Salmonier Nature Park, a sanctuary to nurse some of the local wild animals back to health.

The Salmonier Line is also a perfect starting point for trip up towards Hearts Delight or Northern Bay Sands or down around the Irish Loop. We certainly recommend a visit to St. Vincents Beach where getting up close and personal with whales is world class delight right from the shore.

-Dog-Friendly-
Dogs allowed for 1 pet, $35 for 2 nights, $40 for 3 nights and so on...
(plus $5 after the 2nd night). 2 pets, $70 for 2 nights, $80 for 3 nights, $90 for 4 nights and so on...

We welcome dogs but unfortunately do not permit cats. This policy is in place due to specific considerations and factors such as allergies, behavior, safety concerns, and property maintenance. We strive to maintain a comfortable and safe environment for all our guests.

Wood available @ $20.00 a day 2 full bathrooms in an open concept bungalow style overlooking Hawcos Pond with full length 8 foot wide Deck on Pond side. The cabin was fully renovated 5 years ago and can be used 12 months of the year.

The master bedroom has an ensuite with a shower/tub enclosure. All bedrooms have queen sized beds

Spruce flooring throughout - nicely decorated - wonderful homey feeling.

Signs at the place remind that laughter and not always following the rules are name of the game.

The Country is within 15 minutes of a top-ranked Golf Course - the Wilds -
And Salmonier Nature Park - housing woodland creatures and a great walking

As part of the Irish Loop and close to the Baccalieu Trail, The Country is a great place to have as your home base - if you plan to hike or sightsee.

Do yourself a favour and head to Mad Rocks Cafe in Bay Roberts for their baked beans and toutons with molasses

Little piece of Heaven
Looking for a cozy getaway in the woods , The Country did not disappoint. It was a stormy weekend which turned the already beautiful scenic area into a winter wonderland. Stayed cozy all weekend next to the fireplace, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, playing games & reading books. Looking forward to booking again soon and enjoying all that The country has to offer outside of the cabin. Highly recommend this place, all the necessities you need and more even down to seasonings for cooking. Don’t hesitate to book this place, you will not be disappointed!!

The cabin and area was not what we were expecting….it was much more. Lots of space and privacy, cabin was clean and beautifully decorated. We lacked for nothing, it was outfitted with mostly everything you could use. If we ever return, it will be for more than 3 nights.

Idyllic setting which is what we hoped for. Pity about the unsealed road that led to the property. Not the owners fault but in hindsight better to have hired a more robust car that would have coped better with the potholes. Would recommend the property to others as had everything and more that we needed, thanks

Great stay
We enjoyed the property and the communication was great. We really enjoyed the home. Loved looking out at the water. The rain did keep us from using the dock area. We were able to sit out there for a short while. We loved all the hiking available to us. Thank you for the wine. Everything was clean and we had enough supplies. The bed we had was comfortable and the wifi was fine.

Great weekend getaway!
Our family rented this cottage for 3 nights on Nov 11 weekend. The property was clean and homey , and had everything we needed. The check in and put process was easy and hassle-free. All the promised amenities were accurate, with a few additions (a complimentary bottle of wine and arrival snack, wifi). The days were perfect for quad ( our own) and canoe rides. The fireplace kept us cozy for evenings of playing games, watching movies, and reading. We relaxed, laughed, ate, drank, all the while feeling like we were staying at an old friends’ place. We cannot wait to visit again!

Highly Recommended!
We have enjoyed our Easter vacation at this beautiful 'Country Cabin'. The cabin was tidy, clean, comfy beds, and kitchen was well equipped like home from home. For our own convenience, we brought enough food from home for the duration of our stay at the cabin. We were overwhelmed by our welcoming gifts from Gordon and Linda. Thank you both for your thoughtful gesture for our lovely wine, strawberries, cheese and biscuits. We loved the log fire. Our cats loved to lie Infront of it, they were just too cosy. The surrounding view of the cabin was magnificent! A perfect getaway to de-stress in this transquil and peaceful place. We enjoyed the canoe that Gordon let us use and we used our own inflatable boats too. It was great to paddle around the lake, and fishing. We enjoyed a few nature walks in the area too. We are a family of 5 and 4 cats. We hope to have a chance to enjoy The Country Cabin again. MP

Awesome cabin, beautiful property on the pond and fantastic host.
We had a wonderful time at 'The Country'. Can't say enough about the cabin, the property and the host. All you'd ever need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Cabin is very nicely decorated with cozy reclining chairs and sofa, large fireplace and comfortable beds. The property is very well kept with a nice size deck with barbecue on back of the cabin, wooden boardwalk down to another large deck on the water, along with a boat launch and trampoline dock on the pond. Beautiful sunsets each night. Fire pit in large front lawn. Close to local restaurants and convenience stores; only 30 minutes from St. John's but tucked into the country, providing a very private piece of heaven. Gordon has thought of everything - well-stocked kitchen, large assortment of DVDs, CDs (with player), books and games, and wireless speaker for your IPOD or phone playlists, and free use of the canoe and fishing poles. Gordon is an incredible host - always immediately available if you have any questions and even provides some coffee and other treats. His goal is to ensure you have a comfortable, fun and memorable stay. When we're able to return to Newfoundland, we'll definitely stay here again. Just bring your clothes, food and any water toys or your ATV and you'll have a great time.

Relaxation!
Stayed at this beautiful cabin with close pals for New Year's Eve. Gordon was extremely welcoming, and we felt very much at home. There isn't much he hasn't thought of, right down to dog bowls for our pups, and some toys and Disney movies for our little traveler. The property is well maintained, clean, and very relaxing - the views are amazing, and we hope to see them in the summer time - the pond access looks great! Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for making our weekend fabulous!

Perfect weekend getaway!
The perfect cabin getaway! A very cosy cabin, with a beautiful view to wake up to in the morning. The cabin was filled with games, Books and movies to entertain us on a rainy night and a lovely fire pit area for a nice clear evening. Our host Gordon was great. He added personal touches as we were celebrating a birthday and was accessible for any questions. The cabin had everything that we needed for the weekend. We would highly recommend it for anyone's getaway.
