Cozy up at night in the Outport Room at Bub’s Place. Windows on two sides of the room mean there’s a good cross breeze to keep you cool (and a window fan to bring in the cooler night air in the summer). It’s one of our favourite rooms, with a comfortable queen-sized bed and lots of storage space to put your luggage. For one of the members of our family, it’s her room of choice when staying at the house.

Western Newfoundland is known for Gros Morne, but there are also a lot of other great trails in the area too. Trails vary in difficulty, with the Man in the Mountain trail a bit more of a challenge.
🥾
We keep a trail guide book at Bub’s Place for you to plan your next hiking adventure. If you want to get out of the city, but don’t want to drive too far, head out towards Bottle Cove and Lark Harbour for some spectacular trails.

Happy Family Day!
Bub’s Place is rooted in family. The home was built by Jean Buffett Mercer and George Mercer in the early 1950s. They moved in with their son, Keith Mercer (aka, Bub). After George’s passing, Jean married Ron Whyte.
⚓️
In the 1950s, their family grew again when their daughter was born. Bub now gained a little sister! The house was passed down to Bub in 1998 after Jean passed away. He owned the home until he passed on in 2021 and left it to his sister. She and her husband kept the house and decided to share it with others.
⚓️
Family continues to play a big role in keeping Bub’s Place. Jean’s daughter (Bub’s sister) and her husband run it as an Airbnb when it isn’t being used by family. Their daughters consult and help manage the Airbnb & marketing side of things, while other friends and family assist on-site.
⚓️
We are truly blessed by family at Bub’s Place and hope it is a place you can bring your own family to make memories and share time together.

Sometimes breakfast at Bub’s Place is a real “hoot”! Prepare your own meals and save a few dollars when you’re our guest. Bring the fixings and we’ll supply the tools. You’ll be ready to hit the hills or snowshoe through the woods and your wallet will thank you!

February is fully booked, but we do have some weekends available in March. Bub’s Place is a great location to check out Nordic and downhill ski facilities, but it’s also close to great restaurants, arts & culture, and hiking trails.

How do you know the dishwasher is working? Where are the controls? We’ve had a few guests try to puzzle out our dishwasher at Bub’s Place. The controls are actually located on the top of the dishwasher door. You set it to run and close the door (which hides the control panel). If the dishwasher is starts up, a red light appears on the kitchen floor telling you it is in operation.

Reflecting today on the renovations we undertook when inheriting Bub’s Place. In the days of Jean (Nan) and Bub, the kitchen was always a place of conversation, good food, and love. The cabinets and appliances have been updated, but we hope it is still a place where people gather together to laugh, tell stories, and enjoy each other’s company.

On your drive out to Steady Brook, keep an eye on the rock faces by the Humber River. Ice builds up and takes on various colours depending on the minerals in the water. It can be quite impressive!
