It's Official!

We have a second location, this time in Lesley's home town of North River!

We believe that both Winterton and North River are 2 of the most beautiful little communities on the Avalon and are proud to help present them to new comers.

If you know of someone looking for accommodations in the Bay Roberts/CBN area, please direct them to "The Lilac"

Also follow along as we have significant upgrades planned and in the works!

One aspect of the Buttercup property not yet lost to time is that of the Traditional Newfoundland Root Cellar.

Root cellars reflect the ingenuity of the colonial settlers in a time of struggle who used them for keeping food at a low temperature and steady humidity. They keep food from freezing during the winter and keep food cool during the summer months to prevent spoilage.

Typically, a variety of vegetables are placed in the root cellar in the fall, after harvesting, such as potatoes, turnips, beets and carrots.

Other food supplies placed in the root cellar over the winter months include onions, preserves/jams, salt meat, salt and salt fish.

Scilly Cove'ers (Winterton residents) made use of root cellars regularly with many still scattered around the town today in various states of disrepair.

It is our hope to restore the Buttercup root cellar to its former glory, but for now it stands as a testament to the way things once were.

One of the biggest transformation at the Buttercup was definitely that of the main living room. With the additional window adding natural light and sightline to the harbour, this is easily one of the most relaxing rooms in the house.
