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.

Fantastic location, close to everything and a nice quiet area for walking. The Hobbit had everything we needed and was comfy and so quiet! We really appreciated that dogs are welcome. Gregory, Nancy, Surfer and Tiki are perfect hosts! And the breakfasts......ooooh the breakfasts! : ) We can't wait to stay again.

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!

Thank you!

Our hosts were kind and thoughtful; we appreciated them and the delicious breakfasts! They do have a loud dog, so if anyone is afraid of pups, I would let the hosts know before you arrive so they can accommodate you.

Magical

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

Really good experience!

Our hosts, Nancy and Gregory, are really lovely people. They were wonderfully welcoming, helpful, and generous. The "Hobbit" cabin is great, and has the unique Gulf Island charm. It's clean, comfortable, and nicely put together with lots of thoughtful personal touches from Nancy and Gregory. We plan to stay again, and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting a calm retreat while exploring Gabriola Island.

Hobbit lives up to its whimsical name.

Hosts are friendly, thoughtful, kind. Good recommendations for hiking and restaurants. Healthy breakfasts provided. Host interaction was much appreciated, enjoyable and memorable. Delightful, caring couple you would want as neighbors.
