Spotlight: Back Country Cottages

Back Country Cottages, located about 35 km northwest of Indian Bay, offers a true backcountry retreat where visitors can slow down, unplug, and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Central Newfoundland.

From cozy cabin stays and peaceful mornings on the water to canoeing, fishing, hiking, and exploring the surrounding wilderness, it’s the kind of experience that invites visitors to stay a little longer and reconnect with the outdoors.
