Here's a link to a flattering article about the Fogo Island Inn and life on the island; beware that it's full of intrusive ads, and is a bit vague on some terminology and details, but otherwise is a good descriptive article.

Canada: The Fogo Island Inn Puts Newfoundland On The Luxury Travel Map


. . . In less than a year, Fogo Island Inn (below) has put Newfoundland—accent on the last syllable, please—on the luxury travel map. It has deftly leveraged all of the ingredients mentioned above to turn a middle-of-nowhere place, the austerely beautiful Fogo Island, off Newfoundland’s northeast coast, into a destination that’s worth two flights (to Gander via St. John’s) and a few hours drive. THD will bet his salary that no hotel in Newfoundland has ever charged $850 in summer for its lowest level room.
