Best Breakfasts!

We loved our stay at the Hobbit Cottage on Canopy Ridge and our visit to Gabriola Island. Our hosts, Nancy and Gregory greeted us each morning with the most amazing breakfasts and provided many great options for beach and hiking in the area. The cottage is well equipped with cooking appliances and an adjacent patio and bbq area also added to dining in options. Thank you both for your hospitality!

Relaxing stay at The Hobbit

We used The Hobbit as our base for a three night trip for Gabriola. Clean, comfortable and well hosted by an available but privacy-respecting couple (Nancy and Gregory), we really enjoyed out stay. Breakfasts were a nice touch and were well tailored to our considerable dietary needs. Would absolutely stay again.

Greg and Nancy offer a very beautiful and peaceful Hobbit House to enjoy! 5 They are friendly and full of great information about the island when you feel like chatting and are equally respectful of your privacy when you choose it. The house provided everything we needed. I really appreciated that they allowed us to bring our cat. As others have mentioned, the breakfasts are just amazing! Thank you Greg, Nancy, Surfer and Tiki

As in the past with Nancy and Gregory, excellent experience!

Nancy and Gregory are great hosts. They care about your experience and communicate wonderfully. The Hobbit House is a perfect launch pad from which to explore Gabriola. It's warm and comfy, with all the essential amenities. We stayed here last year, and had a great experience. This time was, if anything, better. Warm thanks, Nancy and Gregory!

Cozy and relaxing

The Hobbit was very cozy and relaxing, surrounded by lush forest. Unlike other cabins that we've stayed in, the Hobbit is well insulated and warm. The kitchenette is very basic and not meant for a lot of cooking but it's perfect for heating up some food or drinks which was fine for us as we wanted to eat out/support the local economy anyway. Nancy and Greg clearly added a lot of thought and care to the cabin from the cute gnome dish sponge to the relaxing rocking chairs. The mainly veggie breakfasts were varied, healthy and delicious - and always with some fruit - so appreciated! Nancy and Greg were very welcoming and warm. Their pup Surfer is absolutely adorable. <3 Thank you for the lovely stay in the Hobbit!
