Dory Buff House | House in Summerville
3 Bedroom House in Terra Nova, Summerville
Dory Buff House is perfect for you if you’re looking for an authentic, non-touristy Newfoundland outport experience.
Built in 1847 with its signature hipped roof, Dory Buff House was fully renovated in 2015, keeping much of the original woodwork intact including walls and floors.
Coco and Dave welcome you to historic Dory Buff House, uniquely situated on the sunny side of Bonavista peninsula, steps from the Atlantic ocean and a commercial stage, in the quaint working fishing harbor of Summerville, aA 2.5 hour drive from St. John’s, 25 minutes from historic Trinity and scenic Port Rexton; 45 minutes from shopping in Clarenville, and 50 minutes from the Bonavista lighthouse.
The main floor has a fully equipped kitchen with electric range/oven, fridge, dishwasher and microwave; laundry room with washer and dryer; dining room; living room with TV (cable and wifi); main floor guest bedroom with a queen bed, and a ½ bath.
On the second floor, look out over the ocean from your king bed in the master bedroom; full bathroom with shower; and a 3rd bedroom with bunk beds, also facing the ocean.
Throughout Dory Buff Coco's original artwork adorns the walls. Enjoy a quiet afternoon in the back garden picking blueberries, or take a walk along any of Summerville’s beautiful coves and beaches where sea glass and other treasures abound.
Depending on which part of the year you’re visiting, watch breaching humpback, fin, minke and killer whales from the comfort of the front bridge (Newfanese for ‘deck’). Walk down to the fishing stage to meet the local fishermen and see the same tools of the trade, and fish cleaning and salting techniques Newfoundland fishermen have been incorporating for 500 years.
For bird lovers, you’ll be surrounded by blue jays, sparrows, crows, seagulls, osprey and bald eagles to name just a few. The fishing stage is a big draw for seabirds looking for a free feast following the filleting of cod caught daily in Summerville harbor. Stop by the stage and who knows, a kindly local fisherman may just gift you with a couple of filets of fresh caught north Atlantic cod!
Pets are welcome along with their responsible owners. Please be vigilant about scooping, and with Newfoundland's ever-changing weather, we ask that you give them a good towel-off before entering the house on rainy days or after an ocean plunge :)
Dory Buff is perfect for you if you’re looking for an authentic, non-touristy Newfoundland outport experience.
Summerville maintains the same unique traditional charm it has had for hundreds of years. Locals refer fondly to the area as being a "festival free zone." Our sincere desire is that your friendly, respectful, discreet interaction with the locals will keep it that way! Thank you! Coco and Dave
