I found a home-away-from-home for me and my furry kid on Gabriola!The cabin was everything I was looking for! A refuge, cradled by tall trees, emphasizing tranquillity and simple living. The location was perfect for exploring the island and all it has to offer. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming, helpful and easy-going. And WOW… the breakfasts were a work of art every morning! Thank you, Nancy and Gregory, for making me feel special!
