I did a lot of research to find a cottage in Eastern NL for our Thanksgiving Staycation. So happy I chose By D' Bay! No better place to enjoy all the beautiful colors of fall.
While attached, Cabin #9 met all of our expectations and more. The pictures really don't do it justice, it's larger than I thought with so many creative spaces for storage. The kitchen and sitting area have everything you could possibly need. More than enough pots, pans, dishes and such to cook and bake whatever you desire. Fully supplied with paper towel, tin foil, plastic wrap, parchment paper, baggies. Several teas, coffees and sugars. The bathroom is spacious with plenty of towels and such. Candles supplied for long soaks in the tub. The binder provided is full of detailed information about the cabin, community, local and surrounding businesses. King sized comfortable bed, extra linens and blankets. Wall mounted TV with lots of channels and an ample supply of DVD's and books. Plus an electric fireplace. And there's a fully enclosed sunroom with 6 almost floor to ceiling windows and a patio door.
Most importantly the cabin was super clean! Bed, linens, kitchen and bathroom. Remember they're pet friendly too and not a dog or cat hair to be found. We're already thinking about when we can go again.

Possibly the best cabin experience I've ever had. The cabin was small but that just added to the coziness. There was plenty of room for myself, my partner, and our English Labrador and it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. They are also extremely pet friendly. We walked in and there was a dog bed, food and water dishes, blankets, and treats all laid out for our dog as well as an information guide for all things dog-related in the area. The cabin was also equipped with every possible kitchen utensil you could need and even had candles for the lovely massage tub. There were also books, games, DVDs, and cable TV. It's also right off the TCH and close to Clarenville. If you're looking for somewhere cozy and clean for a romantic getaway, this is the place.

RELAX-RECHARGE-ENJOY! Newfoundland at it’s finest.

So, first time for us and our 4 toy dogs! We could NOT have expected more! Welcoming atmosphere, lots of responsible dog owners on the property, amazing from start to finish,

Our cabin was spotless, and had so much attention to detail, we were blown away. Everything from candles in the bathroom, to enjoy to jacuzzi tub.......to dog beds and treats for the doggo’s

Thanks to our hosts and staff for welcoming us.
Ps: all of the gardening,and landscaping, looks awesome!

Can’t wait to have another visit, so close to so many beautiful places to explore.

Beware of owner. Over charged us for our stay, seems they "forgot" they required a deposit and charged us full price AND $100 extra, spent several weeks trying to get refunded. Then, the owner tried charging us what he called a "convenience fee" to process our refund. The Wife was nice enough. Husband is a cheap, cranky, money hungry individual. Do not recommend.

Stayed here for a couple night away. The website lists “luxury cabins”. Our cabin was pretty basic. To use Luxury, that’s being too generous. Upon first approaching the property it had a fixer upper look to it. I understand it’s under new ownership now so perhaps some of those items begging for attention will get it and improve this property.The pictures on the website for our cabin were not current, that needs updating so that customers are getting a look at what the condition of the property is currently. The entire cabin needs a fresh painting on the inside. While it appeared clean there were some short comings which I cleaned myself with a dose of bleach and elbow grease. Mould and mildew on the bathroom tiles is a easy fix so it should be an easy clean. The shower mat needs to be discarded as it’s very stained, at least now it’s sanitized. Electric fireplace didn’t work, tv remote didn’t work, notes from the owners indicating this on respective items. Mattresses need replacing. It all takes time.
On the positive side there were plenty of bathroom linens. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, utensils etc. Well stocked with novels as well. Pet friendly.
Close to skiing, golfing activities in their season.

Valerie, as the new owners of By d'Bay Cabins we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback. As you mentioned our kitchens and bathroom linens are well stocked. Eleven of our cabins have Air Massage Tubs. Each cabin is unique from cozy cabin feel to our two storey premium cabins. We have studio style cabins and a quaint cabin with loft bedroom. As you mentioned we are located near many wonderful outdoor activities including skiing, skidooing and golfing. We are minutes from Terra Nova National Park which has a lot to offer the outdoor enthusiast. Our cabins are ultra Pet Friendly and we provide many extras to roll out the red carpet for our Pet Guests. As the new owners we are committed to continuous improvement and responsiveness to our customer needs. Again, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback which is always valuable as we embark on this new endeavor.

This year we decided to check out NL and stay at some cabins along the way. By d'Bay Cabins are advertised as 4-star luxury cabins however they are run down (2 star at best). We rented a cabin for a two-day retreat and some sun. A getaway from the kids and the rain and fog of St. John's. The patio is enclosed so no sun. It was such a beautiful hot day and we couldn't it enjoy it from the patio. The patio chairs were badly ripped (good thing we had our own). The bed was not as shown in the pic (more of a mattress and we picked the cabin by the pics so disappointed they didn't update the pics to match the cabins). The 2 person tub is small (not a 2 person as advertised). The bottom of the rail on the patio is broken (dangerous for anyone with small kids or who might want to lean over. The kitchen table rocked and the chairs are stained. Not sure of cleanliness as there was a buckle in the floor that wouldn't be missed with a broom. The cabin did have videos, books and games which was an added bonus. Very disappointed and certainly not worth $160 a night.

We did send an email to the email provided on the website and the response indicated that they had new cushions (you would have thought they would have been replaced before someone else rented) and no apologies. I would highly not recommend this place.

Hello Loriann, once again I apologize that your stay wasn’t up to your standards. You stayed in one of our 2-story units that was built in 2012. It is very large and has a king bedroom downstairs with en-suite that contains a 2-person air-massage (as described by the manufacturer) & a washer & dryer. Upstairs contains the kitchen, dining area, living room & deck. All of our decks are covered so that guests can sit out and BBQ in any weather, any season. That is stated on our website. We are rated by Canada Select as 4 stars so that is what we state on our website. We always get rave reviews on both of our 2-story units. As they only 8 years old they are certainly not run down. We have a maintenance man on staff that ensures that. In fact he reinforced the top railings this spring and decided that the bottom railings were perfectly safe. I do apologize for the Outdoor chair cushions. They were part of the chair and not removable. We had tried to get replacements from the manufacturer but decided to replace the chairs after all. The bed was replaced because the old one was inferior. As for stains on kitchen chairs, we steam clean all furnitures as often as needed. Sometimes during the busy summer season there isn’t time between guests to do that and have it dry in time. We were unable to find the buckle In The floor that you spoke of. I think if you check out all the other 4-star accommodations in Newfoundland you will find that we are the least expensive.

The cabin was clean and with no surprises. The supplies in the kitchen and bathroom were most generous. They even had coffee filters and saran wrap! We found every cooking utensil we needed. Just bring your paper towels (if you use them). Lots of bath towels and bedding. Gorgeous view over the bay. Convenience store nearby was quite well stocked. The service was excellent, with every e-mail answered quickly. We are already planning our next visit.

My husband, daughter and myself stayed at By the Bay cabins with our friends this weekend and it was awesome! Very clean and comfortable, fully equipped with dishes and cookware/bbq/cutlery/linens. We even had an extra refrigerator!! The owners were fantastic...they even provided a comfy doggy bed and complimentary doggie treats!! They checked several times to see if we needed anything and were super friendly. They ocean view and nearby trails were outstanding. We brought our ATV and enjoyed the local trails.
The cabins are very close to local convenience stores , golf course and trails. We can’t wait to go back.....thanks By the Bay Cabins for a great weekend

Our cabin was very cute and really well appointed! Everything we needed for a 4-night stay was provided. We used the BBQ on the deck a couple of times which was great. Nice big soaker tub and shower combo. Very clean cabin and friendly staff. The no-touch check-in was quick and super easy.

The cabins are a great base for exploring Terra Nova National Park which is just a few minutes away.

If you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy winter activities consider these cabins. While small they are well situated and have everything you need. The rooms were fairly spacious and clean. Exterior doors could use some paint but that wouldn’t keep me away. Prices are more than reasonable and the groomed trail is across the road. Community is great and the people very friendly. Take your sled and head to these cabins. You won’t be disappointed. Great setup for the BBQ as well.
