About this property
The Falls - The Intimate Dome at Granda Rose Retreat
The Falls is an intimate dome for a solo stay or time together, with a king bed facing the panoramic window. Wake to views of Branch River, forest, and sheep grazing the flats.
Inside, you’ll find a bathroom with a walk-in shower, toilet, and vanity, plus a kitchenette with hot plates, a Ninja 12-in-1, and a microwave. Locally ground coffee is supplied for the Chefman coffee machine or French press, no pods needed.
Settle into a 100-year-old rocking chair with a homemade Newfoundland quilt, or head onto the deck for a barbecue with a view. Outdoor seating and a propane fire pit make room for slow evenings. The hot tub and sauna both look out toward sunset over the river, with a full panoramic window in the sauna bringing the landscape close.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 September 2026
Thank you for such a lovely review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the view and had time to unwind in the hot tub and sauna. It means a lot to hear that your getaway was everything you hoped for. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back to Granda Rose.

About the host
Your host
I’m Stephen, your host at Granda Rose Retreat. Branch is home for me, and returning here gave me the chance to create something rooted in the place I love.
I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring Newfoundland’s Cape Shore, and capturing the landscape through photography and film.
Granda Rose brings together my love of this place and the care that goes into creating somewhere people can feel comfortable and welcome. What I enjoy about hosting is sharing a little of that with guests, whether you’re discovering the area for the first time or taking a break closer to home.
I’m happy to share local suggestions and help you make the most of your stay, while giving you space to settle in and enjoy it at your own pace.

Why they chose this property
Branch has a way of making you slow down and notice what’s around you. Set on Newfoundland’s Cape Shore, it brings together open coastal scenery, the Branch River, and the everyday character of a small rural community.
What drew me here was that connection between the landscape and the life of the place. There’s room to explore, take photographs, spend time by the water, or simply sit with a coffee and watch the weather move through.
For me, it’s a place worth spending time in, and that’s what I hope guests get to experience.

What makes this property unique
Granda Rose offers a dome stay beside the Branch River, with large windows that keep the surrounding landscape part of the experience. You can watch the changing light from the king bed in The Falls or curl up on the sofa in The Flats with a good book and a coffee. Spend time on your deck, or unwind in your private hot tub and sauna.
The dome’s shape makes it memorable, but the setting and thoughtful comforts are what make it somewhere to settle in. You have your own space to enjoy a slow morning, return to after exploring the Cape Shore, and spend an evening with no particular plans.
