The property was warm and welcoming. Looked forward to our cozy home every time we finished our excursions!
Absolutely loved this property. It is in a great location with a beautiful view of the water. Each of the 2 large bedrooms has an ensuite which was great. The wrap around deck was nice and a lively place to enjoy your breakfast on a Sunday morning. I wish we were there for more than just 2 nights.

Skipper Tom’s was an amazing place to stay in Twillingate. The accommodations were as stated and very comfortable. It was within walking distance to the town. It was perfect for two couples as we each had our own space. I would definitely recommend staying here. PS The muffins were delicious and a nice treat.

Amazing!!! Very clean and comfortable, gorgeous views, everything we needed plus muffins sitting on the table when we came in. Close to activities yet quiet and restful. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks!
We had a wonderful stay at Skipper Tom’s. It was a great location, was extremely clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Marie, the host, was wonderful. She was extremely helpful and responded to all my questions very quickly. I highly recommend staying at Skipper Tom’s.
We had a lovely stay at Skipper Tom’s. The house was very clean and comfortable. The freshly baked muffins that were there when we arrived were a nice treat! We also appreciated having coffee provided for the week as well. No complaints whatsoever. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone vacationing in Twillingate.

The property was clean, fresh, and comfortable. The homemade muffins were a nice touch too. Marie was very quick to help when google maps took us to the wrong house. It was also nice to be so close to the dinner theatre. Thanks Marie!

Really nice house- very cozy and well appointed. Bathrooms and bedrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked and very functional. We loved the location. No complaints- only good things to say. Charming town with friendly people. We went to the dinner theater on our last night - really fun and entertaining. The owners were very good with communication and telling us to contact that for anything. Such a warm homey feeling to the house. Thank you

Thanks so much Susan! We're so glad you enjoyed Skipper Toms! Hopefully we can host you again sometime!
Large quiet property with a well equipped kitchen. Two large bedrooms with en-suite baths and excellent hot showers. We had two really good nights sleeping on a fantastic mattress. We appreciated the washer /dryer and laundry soap after a week of travel. We walked to the dinner theatre and drove to the Anchor Inn pub to get screeched in. Great fun on a zodiac to see an iceberg calve and turn over!
