I was looking for a few days away, to enjoy some solitude in my favorite Canadian destination. I found exactly what I needed and wanted. Relatively close to St. John's - Norman's Cove - Long Cove is a delightful community, with friendly, welcoming people, and great ocean views.Karl's property was cozy, well equipped, and provided a fantastic base from which to take day trips to the Baccalieu Trail, Trinity, and St. John's. The property is located just a few minutes walk to two really excellent trails - Pembly Cove and Seaside. Karl was an excellent and responsive host. Check-in was easy. Each of two bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms with showers - with a never ending supply of hot water, the bed was super comfortable, and loads of spare linen, towels, blankets, etc. I really appreciated the ability to access the washer and dryer - always nice to get that done and pack clean clothes to take home.Overall, I really enjoyed my 5 nights at Karl's Starboard Suite @ The Homestead. I will hope to be back at some point in my future visits to The Rock.
