Excellent property

The house was easy to find, furnished beautifully and had plenty of room for the 4 of us. It was nice that each couple had their own bathrooms and each bathroom had a box of fancy soaps and lotion. The kitchen was well equipped and there was also an electric Bar-B-Q on the deck for our use. The backyard backed onto the bay and together with the small beach behind the house gave us an amazing view of the sunsets. There was lots of literature about the area as well as cds and dvds provided to us and Wi-Fi was excellent. The property manager, Beverly, met us promptly and was nothing but professional and friendly, patiently answering all of our questions. She even brought us bottled water the night before when the town was going to temporarily turned off the water for maintenance the next morning. Also the owner, Marcel, himself called to ensure that we were not put out by the temporary loss of electricity, also shut down by the town for maintenance at one point during our stay and to make sure we were happy with the accommodations. It showed us that he wasn’t just interested in running his rental as a business but as a home. We would definitely recommend this place!

This is likely the cleanest, best equipped vacation rental we have ever had the pleasure to visit. Located in the charming village of Rocky Harbour, it is ideally situated from which to explore Gros Morne National Park. We loved being able to walk around the village to experience the culture and the food. Marcel and Ruth take great care in equipping their lovely cottage with books about local life, brochures and maps, games and pretty well anything a couple or family would want to add to their stay. In fine weather it is a pleasure sitting out on the verandah and gazing at the water and mountains. Walk down to the water at sunset and experience the beautiful colours playing on the water and the mountains. Gorgeous!

We so enjoyed our stay in Newfoundland, Rockey Harbour and especially the Jolly Moose. The owners have made this home so comfortable to stay in we felt like we were living in our own home! Well located for day trips around the area. Thanks so much for making our vacation a memorable one.

Just wanted to say thanks again for our stay at the Jolly Moose. We all enjoyed our stay there very much. It is a great house in an amazing location. It was more than we expected. The house was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. As you told us there are many great walks in Gros Morne National Park and the scenery is wonderful.

My husband and I and our two teenage sons stayed at the Jolly Moose and had a great time. The house is remarkably clean, nicely decorated and well- outfitted; certainly the most tidy and comfortable of all of our rental experiences. The location is perfect: lovely view of Rocky Harbor, quick drives to great hikes and awesome restaurants and a quick walk into town. The kitchen is small but so well laid out that cooking was a joy. We feel so lucky to have stayed at the Jolly Moose!

Great location (walking distance to town, quiet, on water), all the conveniences of home (washer and dryer is great to have), owners and caretakers are pleasant and easy to deal with. Thank you!

We stayed at the Jolly Moose very recently for four nights. During our tour of the northern peninsula we had stayed in nice hotels but were grateful to have the space, cooking/laundry facilities and dvd collection at our disposal. Its a great location to stay and see the park. Tom and Edna were very accommodating and we didn't want for anything. The residence was perfect for our family of four. Other than the Dinner Theatre, we ate all of our meals at the house overlooking the water, including our own catches, the local Fish Market and take-out from Earles and Jackies restaurants. The Cow Head Dinner Theatre and numerous hiking and fishing opportunities are a must. One tip..if going to the Ocean View to see the local music, please go early and make appropriate inquiries, we couldn't get in at 8:30 at night as it was already full. Thanks Marcel for making our dream trip to Newfoundland so memorable.

My friend and I stayed at the Jolly Moose for a week and couldn't have been happier. First of all, Rocky Harbour couldn't be a more convenient base for all of one's Gros Morne forays. And the house itself is comfortable, with a lovely porch looking out over the bay. The perfect place to catch gorgeous sunsets. The owner is quick to respond to any questions. Word of advice: Although we loved our visit and saw quite a lot, we went a little too early in the season. The famed boat trip in the fjord was not yet operating and a few of the hikes were still impassable due to snow. So I'd suggest early June through September (a local told me that September is an ideal time to visit; it's post tourist season but everything is still accessible).

Had a wonderful time at the Jolly Moose in Rocky Harbour . Stayed 4 nights and could have stayed forever . Overly comfortable accommodations ....all the amenities you would ever need and amazing view and beach . Close to everything ....yet quiet and private . Loved to sit on the back porch looking out over the water and dream . Lots to do in Rocky Harbour . Took both boat tours ...one into the fjords and then the Bonne Bay . Both were fabulous . Took in a Kitchen Party at the local hotel which was great fun and lots of laughs . Went to the Dinner Theatre by shuttle to see the SS Ethie . Loved it and the best cod dinner anywhere .All were highlights of our trip and the Jolly Moose was the best of accommodations . Recommend it highly for anyone and everyone .

The house backs up to the harbour, has it's own dock that's perfect for fishing. Waterfront was wonderful for my children to catch crabs, fish, look for shells, etc. House has all the amenities, made cooking easy. Very comfortable, great dvd and book collection. Best place to stay if you're looking for more than a cabin or motel in Gros Morne!

Already Missing Our Home Away From Home..Excellent Accommodations ..The House is beautiful, spacious, very clean and well furnished. The Beds are extremely comfortable. The Kitchen is well stocked with kitchen supplies, dishes, silverware and pots and pans. Excellent touches included : Satellite TV, Computer, DVD Player with lots of movies, Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer ,Jacuzzi /Shower in Main bathroom, with ½ bath off Master bedroom. The view of Rocky Harbour and the ocean from the deck is amazing. We loved having our own private beach to walk on and explore. Tom and Edna who care for the house for Marcel and Ruth were very, very friendly and helpful. Tom met us at the entrance to Rocky Harbour to escort us to the House. They left us their phone number in case we needed anything during our stay. Marcel and Ruth, the owners of this Rental Property are exceptional. They are available anytime via email or telephone. We would highly recommend this house if you are visiting Rocky Harbour . It is much more private than a cottage or hotel room. We do not think you will find a nicer place to stay in Rocky Harbour. We Will definitely stay here again..Thank you Marcel and Ruth for the opportunity to stay at your House..

Our family of four stayed here for 4 days and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this lovely home and in Rocky Harbour. The home was very well maintained, well laid out and equipped and setting was lovely looking over the bay. The home is easily accessible to many of the attractions within the park. We loved our hike up Gros Morne as well as other the hikes we did, the Bonne Bay Marine Station, Discovery Centre, boat tour on Western Brook Pond and be sure to take a play in at Cow Head! The local restaurants were super and the store where you can purchase freshly caught fish wonderful.The owners were accommodating and easy to work with and we would highly recommend this home.We would certainly return again.

During our stay, the last two weeks of September 2010, at the Jolly Moose, we watched our friend’s jaws drop when they came over. In awe they exclaimed, “How did you find this place?” The house is beautifully arranged with gleaming appliances. At every meal, you will enjoy looking at the harbor through the large bay window. Your day’s entertainment doesn’t stop when the site seeing ends as the Jolly Moose is equipped with all your home entertainment needs: dvd player, sound system, bike, beach toys and a variety of books and games. You will not find any accommodations in Rocky Harbour that compare with the Jolly Moose!

Staying at The Jolly Moose is not like staying in a rental. It feels like good friends (with great taste) have let you have their house while they're off on cruise. The house is wonderfully decorated and equipped down to the smallest details. We were able to cook most of our meals at home and the only thing we couldn't find was a garlic press. (Anyway, the owners had thoughtfully provided garlic powder along with other herbs and cooking basics.) We had brought our own laptop and the highspeed wireless internet worked flawlessly; we also used the computer provided by the owners so we were able to work side-by-side at sending emails and working on our digital photographs while gazing out at the harbour. On a stormy night, we were able to settle in with the satellite tv and excellent DVDs provided. While the house is on the main street of busy Rocky Harbour, we found it surprisingly quiet and the location really is ideal for seeing Gros Morne. Our only complaint is that we had to leave.

Thank you for making our honeymoon so wonderful! The house is beautiful and we loved the fact that we could go onto the dock with a glass of wine and watch the sunset. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for opening your home to us! We will recommend it to anyone going to NFLD! Merci beaucoup! Kelly and Dan Demers

We stayed at the Jolly Moose July 23-26 we loved the place...very clean, close too all the attractions..Marcel the owner was good too deal with as with Tom and Edna I really can't say enough good things about this place...a home away from home truly..and there was 5 adults that stayed together in the Jolly Moose and we where not under one another's feet...we all enjoyed and would stay again .

My husband and I spent a gorgeous week at the Jolly Moose in July 2009. It is by far the best accommodation in the Gros Morne area, and we are unbelievably glad that we chose it. The house is wonderful and the setting could not be better. We sat on the picnic table and watched the arctic terns dive for their breakfast. It was great.

test - test

We stayed at this home for 4 days in August, 2008. We were extremely happy with this accommodation - I can not think of a better place to stay in Gros Morne! It is situated centrally in Gros Morne, so it is easy to visit any part of the park. It is right on the harbour - we watched the tide going in and out and had the sound of the lapping waves from our bedrooms. It is a modern house, looks to be about 3 years old, extremely clean and spacious. It is very nicely decorated. Beautiful new appliances, including washer and dryer, and even a computer to use to keep up on e-mails, and do any trip research. I highly recommend this home - if you would like to ask any questions, please feel free to contact me.
