Perched high on a forested hillside overlooking the salty South Arm of Bonne Bay, this three-year-old property is named after some seriously rare local geology.

Behind Red Mantle Lodge are the Tablelands, a piece of the earth's exposed mantle whose existence played a part in Gros Morne National Park's UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site designation.

Inside Red Mantle Lodge

The 18 clean and spacious rooms are named after local trees and, if you just can't unplug entirely, include wi-fi and cable TV.

The bright and airy licensed restaurant on the main floor has six large windows with a set of binoculars smartly placed on the ledges for getting close with the passing minke whales in the bay below, or a foraging moose in the forest that begins steps from the front door.

Room to Book

The Choke Cherry Room—also known as the Jacuzzi suite—for obvious reasons. Room rates start at $119.
