Dogs are welcome, please review our policies and rule

I am completely available to talk at all phases of your visit. My intention is for you to have a great time and want to ensure that all your questions are answered in a timely way.

Sometimes, I will meet the guests at the property - most times however we will send you your check-in information so you can have your private time.

Please ask if you want directions or suggestions to places, I am only to happy to help.

I live about 50 minutes away.

Located in Cabin Country. There are over 100 owners on Pioneer Line one of three areas in Deer Park. We are 5kms on a well graded dirt road.

Great place for quads or dirt bikes or even riding traditional bikes. Lots of kids around in the summer for the child who is willing to explore. A real sense of freedom for both your children and for you.

There is plenty of place on the property to explore in the lower or upper woods - they may even take their hand at adding to a tree fort that needs upgrading.

Despite lots of owners the lots are mature and you have good privacy on the property. There are also not a lot of boats on the pond.

There is a convenience store 5 km away and a local diner about the same distance.

Bring your friends and party with you or enjoy time to relax and use the place as a launching off point for your exploration of Irish Loop or Baccalieu Trail.

The entire property with the exception of the shed on property is yours to enjoy.

Sleep inside or pitch a tent and sleep on the grass.

Lots of parking on property

"The Country" sits on a one-acre mature treed lot.
Only 50 minutes from either St. John's Airport or the downtown.
