Frank Lapointe: Commander’s Keep, Newfoundland
Perched atop its seafront bluff on Trinity Harbour, Commander’s Keep showcases 225 degree vistas of the Harbour, Skerwink Cliffs, Lighthouse at Fort Point, and the Atlantic Ocean beyond!
From the huge wrap-around deck, and from every room of this newly constructed traditonal ‘Saltbox’ Newfoundland home, our oceanfront location affords some of the most striking scenery and breathtaking ocean views and rugged coastline that Newfoundland has to offer!
Open concept home with pine floors, natural wood walls, and high ceilings with wood beams, with a two-sided wood burning stone fireplace that extends two storeys high. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen will satisfy your every culinary need. All three breezy bedrooms have ceiling fans, pillow top mattresses, luxury linens, comfy quilts and fluffy robes. Within easy walking distance of Commander’s Keep there are daily historical walking tours, swimming, biking, kayaking, whale watching and boat tours, theatre and fine ‘five star’ dining. Nearby wildlife abounds: whales, dolphins, and sea otters in the ocean; bald headed eagles soar on high, puffin colonies at Elliston, and in early spring gigantic icebergs drift by.
The ultimate hiking experience awaits you on the trail following the heights of the famous Skerwink Cliffs.
A vacation at Commander’s Keep leaves you with a feeling of rejuvenation and tranquility and a longing to return once more!
