About this property

Cozy cottage, private 1-acre lot, lakefront, less than 1 hour from St. John's.

Welcome to Dragonfly Cottage on Reids Pond! This cozy, 2-bedroom cottage is nestled on a private 1-acre lot, is accessible by an easy drive along the TCH, and is less than an hour from the St. John's airport. Far enough to feel like you've gotten away from it all, but close enough to everything to make easy day-trips to all that Eastern Newfoundland has to offer. Perfect for families, a couple of friends, or a romantic getaway. Watch the sunsets from the front deck, enjoy a fire (indoors or out), hike nearby trails, relax by the water, or check out the nearby golf courses, breweries, or quaint Newfoundland out-ports and towns. Only 5-10 minutes from many amenities including restaurants and grocery stores, with many, many more attractions within a half an hour drive.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Originally from the St. John's area, I moved to Ottawa after university. Moved back to Newfoundland with a wife and 2 kids in the middle of a pandemic. (Because, why not?!) Whenever we travelled (and still do) we always like to rent houses instead of hotel rooms, and we've rented many times through VRBO, AirBnb and other whole-home vacation rental sites. Now that we own a property that we don't use 24/7/365, we are happy to offer it up to folks visiting Newfoundland (or just looking for a local getaway), that might be looking for the sames things we do in a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

What we love most about our cabin is the distance from St. John's. At about an hour (give-or-take, depending on which part of the city you are driving from), it's just far enough to feel like a real getaway, but close enough to get there and back with ease. The spectacular scenery doesn't hurt, either!

What makes this property unique

For a small cabin (only 600 sq ft), it feel spacious. Probably because of the vaulted ceiling and open concept of the living room & kitchen. Can it host a large dinner party? No! But for a family of 4, or a small group of friends, there's a decent amount of space. And it's on an acre of land, with a nice sized lake, and lots of privacy.
