Curated with care
It’s all in the details — our perfectly planned amenities extend across all our properties. Susan’s passion long lives in creating memorable spaces and experiences, intuitively understanding how beautifully and thoughtfully designed spaces enhance living. While our amenities vary slightly depending on where you stay, we strive to create a consistent design-driven experience for each and every guest.
Sensory Spaces
See, feel, smell, touch, and taste — we’ve taken the time to consider the small details that provide you with the most pleasing sensory stay possible. From luxury shower or bath experiences featuring local favourite East Coast Glow, luxury bathrobes and premium towels, to the coziest nights featuring the warm light of candles, comfortable custom pillows, and bed linens, we aim to please the senses every step of the way. Start your morning with our fresh in-house baked treats and end your evening relaxing with a drink in hand. However you choose to spend your stay, we’re here to make sure it’s the best one yet.
Design Details
Each of our dwellings incorporates the personal vision and design aesthetic of Susan and the SAM Design team. Our talented designers have considered all the details for creating some of the very best small intimate stay experiences in our province, providing guests the opportunity to be inspired by design and test drive some of our favourite design elements. Our properties are original interior designs by SAM and all curated furnishings, lighting, luxury bed linens, accessories, tiles, and floor coverings are available for purchase through SAM Design.

Unique Locations
Around the bay, in the city, in the woods — wherever you choose to stay, each of our properties has a unique location to satisfy your taste.

Located just 22 km from the capital city of St. John’s, My Flatrock Dwelling sits on a private wooded 4 acre property, complete with an artist’s shed, a large outside entertaining area, and a walking trail.

This property also has private water access where you can enjoy a kayak ride in a beautiful salmon river. If you’re a fan of wildlife, keep an eye out for our resident bald eagle and the neighbourhood beavers.
Curated Libraries
Our digital minds need a break from time to time. Our properties are each filled with beautiful books curated by our founder, Susan. Whether you feel like finding inspiration in a decade of design magazines, delving into a collection of mystery novels, or losing yourself in a soulful poetry book, we have something for you.
If you wish, we can curate your reading experience just for you. Let us know your favourite genre in advance and we will do our best to fill your bookshelf with titles that quench your thirst for old school page-turning.
Restful Sleeps
Sometimes all we need to rest and recharge is a good night’s sleep. Is there anything better than climbing into a well made, fresh smelling bed?
Every DWELL by sam bed has been outfitted with premium luxury linens and duvets. We only offer queen or king beds with the most comfortable mattresses. Our modern bed frames have been selected by our talented designers and are available for purchase at SAM.
In select locations, we offer a complimentary pillow menu and personalized scent to enhance your experience even further.
Culinary Experiences
All of our properties have ample space for entertaining. If you would like to host an event, we can help coordinate private dining experiences for up to 20 people in all locations, subject to availability. We partner with a host of local chefs who are familiar with our spaces and love to come in and put on a show!
Our gourmet Breakfast Boxes are included in your Dvele stay. We can also arrange Gourmet Picnic baskets, Charcuterie Boards, Cooking Classes, Private Wine Tastings, and more upon request.
