Historic Hillside Vacation Home

Summary:
The Hillside Vacation Home, formerly Twillingate's oldest and most established Bed & Breakfast, is now operated as a vacation home. This home has consistently garnered 5-star reviews for over 30 years. Very well suited for two couples travelling together, and for families of four. On the second floor of the home, you'll enjoy two well-equipped bedrooms, each with a view of the harbour, a queen bed, and an en-suite full bath. On the main floor, there is a large kitchen/dining area, a sitting/TV room where your group can gather and a full bathroom.

The Space:
Hillside Vacation Home is a traditional saltbox home steeped in history. On the main floor, there is an open kitchen/dining area, a sitting/TV room, and a full bathroom. The sitting/TV room is new in 2025 (this room was formerly a 3rd bedroom, so pictures will be posted in the Spring of 2025). On the second floor, you'll find both bedrooms. Each bedroom is large and well-equipped, each with an en-suite full bath and view of the harbour.

Guest Access:
You'll access the home through the front door using a key code.

Other Things to Note:
This historic home has been lovingly cared for an operated as a B&B for over 30 years. The current owners have operated it to rave reviews for 17 years. The previous owner, Mr. Allan Young, grew up in the home and opened its doors as Twillingate's first B&B in 1990. In 2024, the current owners have decided to take a step back and have hired Outport Vacation Properties to manage the home for them in 2024. Outport Vacation Rentals is thrilled to host this beautiful property and continue the tradition.

Small town appeal
Awesome home and location. The best part was talking with the owners, Winston and Wavey. Interacting with locals is the best part of this fabulous province. A guestbook would be nice. Otherwise, terrific stay! I have already recommended it to friends and family.

Newfoundland 1st time visitors
Older salt box home, but tastefully decorated. brought back memories of our grandparents home. Beds were comfortable,and bedrooms large. Lookout trail behind the property was a bonus. Great view of bay. Weather was HOT, for our 3 day stay, but breeze off of the ocean made living bearable. Could have used a few more utensils in kitchen, and a lobster boil pot, however they were minimal inconveniences. Make sure to take in the Twillingate/DWI dinner theatre
