Winter House Cove was a fishing village on the eastern coast of Seal Bay, within the much larger Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland, Canada.

According to tradition, George Marsh (born George Hood; 1825–1911), originally from near Wareham, Dorset, and his wife Louisa ( Loder) were the first permanent settlers and founded the community 1858–1860.
