Guest Testimonials
“Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for the stay at your Resort. My chalet was wonderful, and I also took advantage of a midnight hot tub and cocktail hour. The chap at reception and your shuttle driver were very pleasant… housekeeping was excellent and also enjoyed dinner at Strawberry Hill’s Dining Room. I have been telling everyone about my wonderful experience at your Resort and Marble Mountain.”

Salmon Fishing
Atlantic salmon fishing is a prime summer activity in the region. The Humber River bordering the resort is one of Canada's best salmon rivers. No doubt… fishing this river is a great challenge.

With the coastal town of Corner Brook only 10 minutes away ocean fishing experiences are readily available.
Ocean Fishing
Sea Kayaking and Paddling
The lower Humber River winds for 12 miles (19 kilometres) through the Humber Valley and empties into the stunning Bay of Islands. This is the ideal starting point for a kayaking tour, novice or experienced.

Boat Tours
Boat touring is prominent with a variety of different waterways to explore. The Humber River provides a view into the history of the paper industry. While, these days, logs are all transferred to the Corner Brook Mill via road, evidence remains of the use of the river as a means of transportation.
Boat Tours
Sailing, Kayaking and Canoeing
The Resort's own beach, right in front of Sully's at the Beach House, is the perfect spot to launch a sail boat, canoe or kayak onto the expansive Deer Lake.

The west coast of Newfoundland is home to a large variety of birds, including bald eagles, owls, warblers, blue jays and several species of duck. Residents and guests will be able to see many of them from their own chalet sundecks.

Mountain biking
Many of the best rides are found among the hundreds of kilometres of logging roads and transmission lines that surround the region.

Horse Riding
As with mountain biking the best trails can be found on the old logging roads which are by far the greatest way to get out and about and see the varied countryside.
