Wonderful, peaceful and clean

We had a wonderful stay, the home is well equipped, clean, and comfortable. The view is wonderful, we especially enjoyed seeing horses in the early morning hours. My children (aged 2.5 and 5) really enjoyed all the games/books and supplies provided for kids, very nice touch. Highly welcome, and we will be back. Kitty was very responsive to my messages, helpful and kind.

family getaway

We were very pleased with the home when we arrived. Very clean and bright, and even better than the pictures showed. Kitty left a lovely assortment of items we could use for our breakfast the next day and was quick to answer any questions. There was even a good supply of filtered water for drinking since the well water had a slight taste. ( Although it was perfectly okay to drink). Relaxing and peaceful few days.

Loved it!!

We were thrilled to see such a beautifully appointed home for our stay! Kitty had put things in the fridge for our breakfasts as well as coffee and a variety of tea, and a basket of fruits and cereal. All of which was so appreciated. The views are stunning! Thank you to the landlady and landlord!!!

Paradise with Wonderful Hosts

Kitty and Roshan were wonderful and very responsive hosts. As other guests have mentioned, the pictures cannot fully capture the magic of the rental home and grounds. We’ve been staying at rentals for nearly 2 decades, for Summer vacations, and we’ve devoted our lives to running our own (small) quality-focused hospitality business in a busy city. Our stay was just what we needed to relax and recharge— and we feel so fortunate to have been able to stay.

Such an amazing space, location and fab hosts

If you’re looking for a quiet trip away with the sound of the sea and farms all around, this is perfect. Kitty thought of everything, from toiletries and laundry to fresh eggs from her farm and breakfast necessities. The decor is beautiful and the view from the rooms was fantastic. Look forward to going back. Thank you!

Early Spring Break

This is a charming A-frame cottage, immaculately furnished and equipped, with an amazing view out over islands in the Georgia Strait - even a pod of orcas to greet you if, like us, you are lucky! Kitty, the owner, is a delightful person, so welcoming and helpful about everything. We had three marvellous weeks here in March in spite of rather damp weather at times. From Ontario, we found this a perfect getaway for an early Spring break without frost or snow. Plus, Our granddaughter enjoyed meeting the goats and chickens! Would certainly return if ever we got the chance - highly recommended.

Perfect Peaceful Vacation Home

The guest house is completely private and provides a vacation home away from home. Complete with more than the comforts of home, with beautiful ocean view, large deck with BBQ, tons of outdoor space and a very large guest house with soft extremely comfortable beds and full kitchen with guest basket and enough in the fridge to get you going. The setting and location are perfect fir a quiet peaceful place to enjoy and sleep well. It is a Short walk to a quaint public beach access. The hosts are very easy to reach and extremely nice to interact with. Their guest house is perfectly clean and nicely set up to enjoy!!

Beautiful place

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was spotlessly clean and the host provided so many wonderful, thoughtful extras - breakfast supplies including their own farm fresh eggs, milk, juice cereal and much more! A very well stocked kitchen and everything appears to be brand new. It is an easy walk or drive to many wonderful beaches. If we are in the area again, we will definitely book here. We loved it
