We had a wonderful stay at Paddlers Cove cottage! It was the perfect place to bring our family for some outdoor adventure; the view was amazing, it was fast and convenient to get our boat into the water, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We hope to visit again soon.

Overall great weekend! The second bedroom is a bit snug, but only had one adult in there, so not horrible. A few of the dishes were dirty. But the spectacular views, the handy binoculars and all the space in the living area made everything so enjoyable!

Perfect location for Telegraph Cove tours

Somewhat small for 4 adults but we managed. Had trouble accessing the Portal to get unit instructions like wifi and where to find things. Would prefer an instruction sheet in the unit as backup. Beds were super comfortable, unit was spotless, and a great location to connect with our tour out of Telegraph Cove. Suggest new frying pans and flipper, and a larger garbage can under the sink but those were minor details. We had a great stay.
