We had always imagined opening an inn to welcome travelers of all types journeying between St. John’s and Gros Morne. Like any well-loved, well-worn dream, it was an idea we just couldn’t shake – it wouldn’t let us go. Our inn is not just a labor of love, it’s a whole family endeavour. We cleared the land and built Brookdale Country Inn with our hands and our sons’ help. The very walls of our inn are crafted from the timber we cut.
Since July 1997, we’ve been the welcome-wagon for Bishop’s Falls with homemade bread and jam, comfortable beds, and a breathtaking landscape. In the years since, we’ve added to the inn to bring more amenities to our guests. We feature an RV campground with hookups, a hand-crafted pool, and fire pits. Free wifi is available if you need to hop online to upload your vacation photos or schedule a meeting on your business trip. Walking and hiking trails are nearby (and so is shopping!).
A visit to Brookdale Country Inn is never complete without a visit to our Percherons – a magnificent breed of draft horses. Our horses are a gorgeous addition to the inn and your stay. They’re regal creatures who, despite their size and strength, are docile and well mannered.
Enjoy our inn and your stay to its fullest. This might mean spending a day hikingand coming back to a lobster boil in the evening. Or maybe you’ll spend the day watching your kids play in the pool while you catch up on a book you’ve been meaning to read. Perhaps you’ll work up an appetite for a BBQ after a fun filled day.
If this is your first stay with us, we look forward to welcoming you into our family. If you’ve spent time with us before, welcome home.
