Perfect Oasis on the Island

We had a fantastic stay at Pond & Fern. Paul and Kiersten (and Lexi, Juno, Buttons, and Buddy) are friendly, wonderful hosts. The room is comfortable and has all the essentials. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and a perfect home base for exploring the island. Thanks!

Dreamiest Getaway Ever

This place was seriously amazing. The guest room was super cozy and had everything we needed, but the real magic was everything outside. The hot tub was perfect at night with the stars overhead, and we had so much fun using the paddle boards during the day. And the miniature ponies?? Actual little angels. We visited them every morning like it was our job.The whole stay felt peaceful and special, and the hosts were awesome! Super friendly and easy to communicate with. It honestly felt like a hidden gem, and we’re already talking about coming back.If you’re even thinking about booking, just do it. You won’t regret it

Beautiful respite

We only stayed one night, but the property was beautiful, the owners were pleasant and respectful, and the animals (two dogs and two ponies) were sweet and playful. This stay was exactly what we needed for a break during our 20-day road trip.

Peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful setting. Great host. Enjoyed swims in the pond and breakfast in the gazebo. The trails right next to the property giving me,my sister and puppy awesome places to hike. Their pets, two golden retrievers and two miniature ponies were entertaining plus rabbits that would show up from out of the underbrush. Our only beef was that the freezer part of the fridge needed defrosting, which my sister and I took care of. Great place for a city dweller to escape into a relaxing atmosphere, and a place to rejuvenate from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Beautiful entry to drive up to on arrival.
The two puppies debating on going for a swim.

Seating in front of the pond. Best place to sit and relax any time of day.

Overnight stay on the Island in a lovely VRBO

Such a great place. Room was set up with everything you would need. They thought of the little things. Bed comfy. Beautiful property with a pond. They set us up to have a fire in the evening & morning. We listened to tree frogs & owls. Lovely walking area through forest behind the home. Miniature ponies. A nearby shore where we watched sunset and seals playing. Close to ferry. Hosts were great. Super friendly & helpful. We will be back!

My friend and I had an incredible visit here, our hosts were so very lovely and it was the perfect start to summer getting to relax in the backyard with their friendly pups, serene mini horses, and overall good vibes.

Idyllic country retreat

The hosts gave us a warm welcome, and showed us around their lovely property, including a visit with their two miniature ponies. Paul let us know that if we needed anything, we just had to ask.The rural setting was peaceful and quiet.The room was private and very clean; the queen bed extremely comfortable. We enjoyed our stay, and would be glad to return, any time we travel to that location. Thanks, Paul and Kirsten!
