Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The five-kilometre Skerwink Trail loops past sea stacks nearby, and historic Trinity sits across the bay.
The rooms
First Flight centers on a 22-foot stone fireplace and sunroom. The smaller English Sunrise looks over the water from a covered porch.
At the table
Tables on the covered porch look across the water. Pantries come stocked with homemade moose stew and local craft beer.
How it began
Owners Amanda and Bill named the property after the yellow warbler, which migrates each spring from Ontario to Newfoundland just as they did.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
