1919 Fishermans Cottage Oceanfront Bay Roberts - Lost Together
Welcome to Lost Together.
There’s something about a visit to Newfoundland that changes you. The rugged landscape, steeped in legendary heritage, offers a fresh perspective on the world. Here, it’s easy to lose yourself—whether you’re stepping through the door of our century-old oceanfront "biscuit box" house, nestled against the rocky cliffs of Bay Roberts, or simply letting the place work its quiet magic. This cozy retreat offers unparalleled views of the bay, with the vast Atlantic Ocean.
Built in 1919, our humble fisherman’s cottage—with its low ceilings, exposed beams, and simple charm—is the perfect refuge to watch fishing boats and icebergs drift by, or to take in the drama of a storm rolling in from the sea.
Wake to the sunrise casting golden light over the Atlantic, sip your morning coffee in the salty breeze on the deck, and pick wild blueberries from the rocky cliff that rises behind the house. Be still—curl up under a quilt with a cup of tea and a good book, letting the quiet wrap around you.
Or set out for adventure on the Shoreline Heritage Trail. The trailhead of this renowned 6 km coastal walk is just 400 meters from the front door. Wander along windswept cliffs, wide beaches, sheltered coves, and rugged headlands. Listen for the blow of whales following the capelin into the bay, and feel the exhilaration of waves crashing at MadRocks. Don’t miss the nearby MadRocks Café, where you’ll find a warm Newfoundland welcome—and one of their famous toutons.
Freshly updated yet full of heritage character, our little red house by the sea retains its original charm. Please note: ceiling heights on the main floor and doorways are approximately 6’1”, with steep stairs and some uneven floors—authentic quirks of its 100+ year history.
Live like a bayman as you explore hidden coves, seaside trails, cozy restaurants, and charming outport communities along the eastern shore. Just five minutes from Bay Roberts and an hour from St. John's and the airport, this oceanfront cottage is the ideal base for day trips to places like Brigus, Trinity, Bonavista, and beyond.
Come... get Lost Together.

The place was perfect for a quiet little getaway. There were suggestions for where to go hiking, eating etc and the host was extremely responsive. Would definitely stay here again
We had a wonderful time with this cottage as our jumping off point to explore all that Newfoundland has to offer. Icebergs, whales, hiking, and friendliness everywhere we turned. It was a magical week that we won't soon forget!
Our stay was fantastic! Such a cozy home in the most beautiful town! Thank you!!! I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation home!
My friends and I were in the area for a wedding and decided to stay here. The views are amazing out of any window in the house and we spent quite a bit of time on the deck enjoying the view. Danielle the owner was a very friendly and fast at responding if we had any questions. Would very much recommend staying here.

We had a great 2-night stay from July 26-28! The place offered fantastic views and was conveniently close to some excellent hiking trails. Communication with the host was smooth and consistent throughout our stay, which we really appreciated.
The only downside was that the location is a bit far from most attractions and amenities, but having a rental car made it manageable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again!
The fishermans cottage was cute, clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Its location is great for exploring the area with access to trails and many historical locations nearby.
Our stay at Lost Together was a dream for my cousin and I. The tranquility of the area and the perfectness of the Fisherman's Cottage was the perfect combination. We would highly recommend staying here.
This was a great mini-vacation out of town! The house was well stocked, great location and truly did have the oldtime charm of a biscuit box in Newfoundland. I have already told friends about this place and would stay here again! Loved it.
This traditional home on the water with gorgeous views was a clean & cozy place to relax for a few days. The host was very communicative and friendly. Would definitely recommend!
My friends from Norway just finished a 3 night stay and they absolutely loved it! It was clean, had everything they needed and you couldn’t beat the view. Thanks so much!
This cute cottage by sea is the perfect getaway for a honeymoon. Short distance for a wonderful cafe, stunning ocean views and a breathtaking beach. Made us fall in love with Newfoundland more than we thought we would. Highly recommend renting this wonderful cabin!

Beautiful area.
The Shoreline Heritage Trail was absolutely glorious. The charm of the old house was diminished by the amount of vehicles that pass by on the street which is very close to the place. Can’t change the location, but we hadn’t expected that. Also, the rope hand rail comes off the nail at the bottom of the stairs very easily and the electrical wiring and the bathtub area really should be improved.

Thank for your feedback and I’m sorry that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the traffic, as advertised the property’s oceanfront location is located in a historic area close to the trail head of the popular Heritage Shoreline Trail, which can occasionally mean more activity - especially during the peak times. In our experience, traffic past the house is typically limited to a few cars an hour. We understand this may have affected your experience.
As for the historic elements of the house, we take pride in showcasing the traditional character and heritage. Details are highlighted in our listing to give guests a sense of the home’s charm and character. That said, we appreciate your perspective and we continue to make updates for the comfort and safety of our guests. Our apologies for any issues you had and we will address immediately.
We value your input and thank you for trying at Lost Together - safe travels.
Exactly as described! Great central location if you plan to make day trips along the Avalon Peninsula
Cottage was clean and well stocked with a wide range of items to make your stay enjoyable
