"Loved our stay here. We came to enjoy Pender Island and the resort was a fantastic start and end point each day. Our room had wonderful views of the calm bay and the setting was absolutely peaceful. We could have just stayed on our large balcony and watch the day go by, it was that great. Will go back again, no question."

"This is a wonderful little place on Salt Spring. We had a very comfortable stay in the cottage. The main house is a few short steps away and always has coffee and tea available, as well as cookies in the afternoon, and of course there is also coffee and a kettle in the cottage. The main house gathering area is well-appointed, creative, cozy, and welcoming - a great place to read a book or do work. Town is a short walk away and the owners will tell you the shortcut for how to get there. There is plenty of parking. We loved watching the wildlife outside our windows - it was a relaxing weekend."
