Family Getaway

Mother and Daughter at Shag RockAmy is a former colleague of Jerry’s, so it was a special treat to have her bring her parents for a family getaway at our Cranberry cottage last weekend. We love all our guests, of course, but it’s always fun to catch up with old and dear friends. Amy hasn’t changed (and that’s a very good thing!), but she’s expanding her business as a Writer and Communications Specialist, so it was fun to hear about her plans.

The Cranberry has two bedrooms, making it ideal for multi-generational family getaways. And with Shag Rock offering the perfect photo-op off your back deck, you’re sure to get some great pics for remembering your weekend away. Thanks to Amy for sharing this one, which we also suspect may end up framed on her mantle!

And please don’t forget, we have some great fall specials that make a trip to the Cranberry, and all our luxury cottages, even better!

Shag Rocks On

boating to Shag Rock, NLWith our schedule being what it has, we haven’t gotten out on the water this summer as much as we would have liked. But with my daughter, Adrienne, visiting, it was all the excuse we needed to turn off the phones, and get up close and personal with Shag Rock. It never ceases to amaze me – it’s truly awe-inspiring. So thanks, Adrienne, for making us stop and smell the ocean air!

Great Whiteway Neighbours

RV Park near our oceanfront cottage rentalsWith summer upon us and lots of travelers exploring the Baccalieu Trail, seems like a great time to introduce our Whiteway neighbours, the ShagView RV Park. Just like us, they’re right on the ocean, with front row tickets to viewing Shag Rock. They offer all the services you’d expect in an RV park, plus firepits, access to the beach, free WiFi and, again, that view! With 9 lots, we’re happy to direct RV’ers here anytime, with nightly, weekly, monthly and seasonal rates. Find them on Facebook, or just ask Jerry or The Berry to point the way!

Shag Rock’s Many Faces

Shag Rock on the Atlantic Ocean at our Newfoundland cottage rentalsWe never get tired of this view off our back deck (off our cottages’ back decks, too). Shag Rock is constant, yet the powerful Atlantic, and Newfoundland’s stunning sunsets, means the view is always changing. There’s definitely a metaphor for life there. Such a blessing to have lots to contemplate, a stellar view, good coffee and good company on a Sunday morning. God bless.

Happy Saturday

Greetings from our Newfoundland resort inn and spaHappy Saturday, everyone! We hope you have a great weekend – and remember, we have lots of great Spring Specials lined up, so your next weekend could be your best one yet this year, spent with us. And if you’re wondering whether you should indulge this weekend, Murphy’s posing by Shag Rock to remind you, to just smile and say ‘Shag It!’

Winter Weather

Shag Rock in NewfoundlandYes, the weather this Spring has left a little to be desired. But The Berry has been in Ontario visiting family these past few weeks, and we’ve actually had nicer weather than here than she has. So I try to remember that the grass is always greener. And anytime you can see grass, at least that’s a blessing! We’re hoping everyone is having a safe and happy long weekend, and looking forward to The Berry’s return Monday. Enjoy your Saturday!

Pink Skies and Smooth Sailing

Sun setting over Shag RockI took this picture on a beautifully calm evening last week. I don’t think any words – or any picture, for that matter – do justice describing the Wonderful World of Whiteway, our wonderful setting suns. The Berry is still in Ontario, and I’m still holding down the fort. We have lots on the go, but just as much to be thankful for. Happy Sunday!

Thanks, Zane!

Shag Rock in Whiteway NewfoundlandWe love when former guests and travelers share their photos of our Wonderful World of Whiteway. And since Sunday is Shag Rock day on the blog, we’re happy to share these lovely shots from Zane’s Photographical Journey, who reach out to share some photos he took last summer. Thanks, Zane, for sharing!Atlantic Ocean as seen from our Newfoundland cottage rentals

Shag Rock, Snowy

Shag Rock in Atlantic Ocean as viewed from our Newfoundland cottage rentalsA few days ago we blogged about the icy waves here, we’ve had some nasty weather, and seems like the entire continent is having a wacky winter. Certainly we’ll all be happy when Spring rolls around. But here’s a snowy shot of Shag Rock to show why we love the Wonderful World of Whiteway, through rain, shine, sleet and snow! Please remember that there’s still a month left of our popular Stay In and Stay Warm package (great if you need a romantic respite from this winter!), and our Valentine’s Special at The Doctor’s House (which comes with a gourmet 3-course dinner, plus some more add-ons), is still available this weekend. Happy Friday, everyone!
