The Big Red House is perfect for everything from a romantic weekend get-away, or an extended family visit to a long term stay over several weeks. Just ask and we will do our best to accommodate your travel needs.
This modern rendering of a traditional Newfoundland Salt Box House sits on over an acre of property with amazing ocean views!
You can hike the East Coast trail out the front door and watch whales, icebergs and migratory seabirds (in season) from almost every window. Enjoy the private yard with spacious deck & hammock, or relax in the open concept living area with 11' ceilings and exposed fir beams.
The house is located in historic Torbay, with easy access to downtown St. John's and the airport and only minutes to popular Middle Cove Beach where you can watch the capelin roll and enjoy an evening campfire.
This one of a kind property is the perfect location to experience the rich culture of Newfoundland and for the outdoor enthusiast to discover the Avalon Peninsula's many offerings. For those wanting to continue exploring Newfoundland, this house is about a 2.5 hour drive to Terra Nova National Park and a little over 3 hours to Gander.
The house has 4 bedrooms. The master has a king bed and ensuite, second and third bedrooms have double beds, fourth bedroom has single beds. Additional single loft beds in all three guest rooms.
Longer term rentals are available during off-peak times. Please contact us for details.

Great house, great location
We spent a week at the Big Red House (BRH) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Brie and the BRH team were very helpful and responsive with lots of proactive communications. The location was fantastic. Easy access to downtown St. John’s (~15 minute drive) and proximity to many of the East Coast Trails - with two sections within easy walking distance. The House itself was amazing. The large treed lot provides complete privacy and the views from the second floor are awe inspiring. We found the house was inviting and comfortable with all the amenities and equipment one would need for an enjoyable stay. We loved our stay and will be back at some point soon… Newfoundland is just too beautiful and the people are soooo friendly.

Big Red House was AMAZING
The Big Red House vacation was one of the best vacations we have ever had. Its close proximity to the city and the East Coast Trail was a huge bonus. The BRH was everything it is advertised as and more. I would highly recommend this property and we plan on coming back next year!!!

A+++ for Big Red House
Wow! What an incredible stay at the Red Big House! From the moment we walked through the door, we felt right at home. The space was beautifully designed, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was exceptional, from the welcome package to the amenities provided. The host was amazing, always available and willing to assist with anything we needed. The location was perfect, too, with stunning views and easy access to nearby attractions. Thank you for making our stay memorable and unforgettable. We will definitely be recommending the Big Red House to all of our friends and family!

The Great Big Red House
We had a fantastic stay at the BRH. All the family came up to celebrate Loretta, the matriarch of the Manning's family. The house was so spacious and fully equipped. Like really, fully equipped from laundry accessibility to every pot and pans you could need, it was there. :) We were pleasantly surprised that there were so many toys for our grand-children. The view from the master bedroom was just stunning. We enjoyed to see the full moon too! We loved our stay at the BRH but we have to mention that Brie and her team went above and beyond to ensure that the place was scent free. This made our stay very safe. Thank you! Linda, Anthony, Jonathan, Justin, Jillian, Charlotte et Henry!

Home-away-from home for family visiting Newfoundland
This was the perfect spot for a group with kids: spacious, tons of windows, large property with tons of space for kiddos to play. Surrounded by trees and lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean - you could easily forget you're only 15 minutes from everything (downtown, Signal Hill, the Rooms, Bannerman Park, Avalon Mall, etc.) and minutes to beautiful Middle Cove Beach. Also: great accoustics for music/sing-a-longs.

Everything You Could Want
What a great house and tremdous host. I went there with family as my Grandparents had grown up in the area.
Brie wrote us ahead of time with suggested restaurants and the house was spotless and perfect ...what a super home and we were priviledged to be their guests.
My family had an awesome experience and Brie and the Big Red House made it even better. Thank you !

We really enjoyed our stay ar the Big Red House. It was a great location, private and yet close to everything we wanted to see on our vacation. It is a large house, which was great for our large family to spread out, and relax.
