St. John's  ·  Newfoundland & Labrador  ·  Canada

Welcome

Modern meets
heritage.

Original moldings, windows, and proportions. The details that tell the story of the home are well preserved.

Layered within these details is a quiet, Scandinavian sensibility, drawn from Susan's love of simplicity, light, and intentional living. Gower House Dwelling is a place to slow down, gather, and feel at home in the heart of St. John's.

Spread across three floors, the home offers a dining room for ten guests, a private yard with barbecue, and all the comforts of a well-kept stay. It is particularly well suited to families and groups of friends who want to share a table and a little time together.

Your stay is curated for your comfort. We have thought of the extras, and we will always do our best to accommodate if you need a little something more.
