We stayed in the cottage for a week while visiting friends and family in the area. Spectacular view rivalled only by the kindness and generosity of our hosts Sheila and Frank. We loved the space as it was quiet and cozy…a true getaway. Thanks for the great memories and new friendships. We’ll be back soon!

Amazing Stay!
Where do I even begin?! My husband and I had a wonderful (too!) few days at the Summit House Guest Cabin. The cabin had plenty of room and amenities, was perfectly decorated and immaculately clean. The property itself was absolutely stunning. While remote enough to feel like the only cabin on the island, it is close enough to anything you might need.
The hosts, Sheila and Frank, were beyond lovely. They took the time to share the history of the property and their vision for it- which my husband and I loved every minute of.
We didn’t want to leave! Going forward, any trip to BC will involve a stay here.
