The cabin is homey and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. It's clean and fresh with everything you need for some peace and quiet. Ken was a welcoming host on arrival, with advice on hiking trails in the area and places of interest to see. After the initial meeting I kept to myself and didn't see him again, though he made it clear that he was available if anything was needed. Excellent stay.

Very quiet, fell asleep listening to crickets in the distance. Ken's property is so big it feels like a cabin in the middle of a forest. It had everything we needed to make our own meals and and was nice to come to after an afternoon of kayaking. Would stay again.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Cozy little cabin with green all around, felt very private. Not quite two separate rooms as there is a pass through between rooms and the kitchen is sort of in the bedroom. But what can you expect on Cortes! Island funky, but in a good way.

Awesome stay. The write up was extremely accurate. Loved our stay here.

Ken's quaint cottage was the perfect getaway for my partner and I. Ken was more than accommodating and went out of his way to let us use his boat to explore the surrounding islands of Cortes. Lovely location of cottage. I felt like I was in a beautiful log cabin in the middle of the forest. There is a really neat tree house that Ken is building that you can check out too!

A quiet secluded place to get away from the hustle and bustle with 360 degree evergreen.

Awesome plac, very cool dogs

Lovely stay! We will write also inDutch in order to encourage Dutch travelers. Het was een prachtige ervaring met werkelijk ultieme privacy! Je kunt dagenlang verblijven daar zonder ook maar een spoor van andere mensen of de eigenaren te zien. In principe gaat de communicatie via briefjes op een afgesproken plek aan het weggetje in het bos , maar als je wilt kun je ( bij belangrijke zaken) aan de bel gaan hangen of gewoon een praatje maken als je ze treft. Erg aardige dames allebei. Een heel bijzondere volledig self contaning plek die erg aanbevelens waardig is! Summarized; perfect spot with ultimate privacy and very nice hosts! Highly recommended.

We loved our time at the yurt. So peaceful. So so private. The pictures are very accurate. It's an eco-friendly experience and it didn't feel like we were missing anything. Keeping warm by the stove and candle light evenings are wonderful. There is a great trail to a lagoon close by that was fun to explore. Loved how private it all was.

The description was bang on! We had an absolutely wonderful time in Inga and Natasha's Yurt. It was an organic and majestic experience. Thank you.

wonderful place! Completely unlike an other place I have stayed! Inga met us at the driveway and gave us everything we needed. Would return in a NewYork minute.

Inga and Natasha were great hosts, the yurt was amazingly peaceful and we loved our stay.

As soon as we pulled into the lane we knew we would love our stay at Padma. A warm welcome from Inga and then three nights of peaceful bliss. Our first yurt experience and it couldn't have been more perfect. We returned home invigorated and inspired (and planning our next visit!) Thank you, Jim and Janice

Peaceful, serene and beautiful is this little yurt. Wonderfully crafted by the ladies, who are kind and helpful. Gorgeous little island, we spent a few nights here reading, napping and exploring. THE place to switch off from the world. Good tip: The trip from Vancouver to Cortes Island is a big one due to the many ferries (also it costs $275 in total), I don't recommend doing it in one day. The last ferries cancelled due to the weather so we missed our first night. If I did it again I would stay a night near Campbell River, just to pace it out nicer. Also brings warm socks, its a little cold there!

Truly an amazing experience. Easy to find from the ferry, thanks to well placed signage. Pull up, ring the bell (very cool bell by the way), then Inga appears from the woods! A friendly greeting with a few tips and some background then off you go, up the path to the private hideaway. PADMA has everything you need, including drinking water supplied by Inga+Natasha. The "instruction manual" is a very helpful and easy to understand guide to anything you might not be familiar with. The upcycled, artistic style enhances the experience. It feels like there is great care for the guests and the earth.

Very spacious and private, thank you so much!

Beautiful yurt in a nice area. Off-grid living may demand compromises from some but we loved it. Sheryl and Bob were very accommodating hosts.

Sheryl and Rob were excellent hosts, very warm and friendly and helpful. Sheryl brought us fresh veggies from her garden and invited us to morning hot yoga..although we didn't participate, she always let us know we were welcome! "Super Rob" is definitely a renaissance man...knowledgeable about all workings off-the-grid and very patient with us city slickers! We absolutely loved staying at the yurt, I want Santa to bring me one this year...we were in our own little forest retreat, a deer family visited the meadow every day, and we star-gazed every night. Cortes is a paradise island, and Sheryl and Rob have all the inside info. We highly recommend this wonderful and "awesome" place!

Lovely place to stay for a few days. Very accommodating hosts! The Yurt had everything we needed and we got a great friendly introduction to the Island and accommodation to get us started when we arrived. Gorge Harbour is beautiful and a short 5 min walk. Hiked and paddled around Cortes and fell in love with the place.

The place smelled like mildew and there were spider webs all over. Wouldn't even refund any part of our money. If they are going to be in the airbnb network then they have a lot to do in order to make this place liveable. Would not recommend to anyone so take my advice and find another place to stay. You will be much happier elsewhere.

Sheryl greeted us with fresh organics from her garden and a bright smile! The yurt is HUGE. Toasty wood fire and gorgeous bed in one of the most beautiful islands in the world. As city folk we were not quite ready to go cold turkey on the wifi although it was just a 5 min walk away at the marina as kindly noted in the Ad. All in all it was a very comfortable and unique experience.

We had a great experience, we were given a great tour of the yurt and had everything explained. The space was great for us, even with the weather turing sour. The wood burning stove was great for keeping us cozy and warm. Thanks for the great experience.

Sheryl came down to the yurt to greet us. and brought a bowl of freshly picked blueberries. So kind! Being walking distance to Gorge Harbour was lovely.

Unser Gastgeber war wunderbar, süß und sehr hilfreich. Er hat mich sofort zu Hause fühlen.

Norman, AKA George, took great care to make sure that we knew how to get to his place. He was there to greet us and showed us where to park, told us about local shopping and attractions, and interpreted the ferry-lineup times for us. He suggested we park our cars in the lineup early on our last day so we would be sure to catch the ferry. Then he drove us back to the BnB, and later drove us back to our cars. He went out of his way to be helpful. Plus he is a charming and affable fellow who made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed our stay, and hope to return.

Lovely place - very comfortable, super-clean, well equipped kitchen. Very friendly. Very convenient location near the ferry but also very quiet and peaceful. Lovely sunsets as it faces West to Vancouver Island. Great value.

George var en meget god vært. Han gik ud over at sikre vi følte velkommen, og tog ekstra skridt til at sikre, at vi følte afgjort efter vores tur der. Han sørgede vi havde retninger mellem hver færge og gav os oplysninger om rejsetider og faktorer. Han gik os gennem huset og forklaret layoutet. Han gav os også rådgivning om øen. Han var der, hvis vi havde brug for ham, men også lade os være, så vi kunne nyde vores (min kone og jeg) lang weekend væk. Han er en meget god vært, og har været vært før Airbnb, da han scorede sit købmandsbutik i logi ~ 7 år siden.

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt. Norman (wer geht von George) war sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Die Wohnung war sauber und haben alle Grundlagen, die wir brauchten. Wir waren dort für Ruhe, Entspannung und Erkundung (Erwachsene nur Wochenende) und wir bekamen unser Geld wert und mehr. George ist ein großer, leicht geht und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber und wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hier übernachten.

We loved that the curious cabin is nestled amongst nature and all of its serenity. It was really lovely being unplugged and it helped that there wasn't wifi at the cabin. We were glad for it towards the end of our stay once we had weaned off of the internet. Filipe was a great host and provided farm fresh strawberries and tomatoes - Thank you! We felt taken care of and knew we could reach out to you if we needed to. Also, walking by the chickens every morning was great! :)

Filipe was a kind and generous host, making sure I had everything I needed for my stay. He even brought me fresh salad greens and stewed pears from his garden! The cabin is in a blissfully quiet in a beautiful grove, tucked away in the forest - a perfect retreat space.

My third time to this fabulous cabin. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you've found it!

We went to Cortes Island on our bicycles, so Filipe's was a great location for us. He let us drop off our bags early, and then we had a great day touring the island with a lighter load. It was fully equipped for us to cook some dinner and enjoy the deck in the evening. Really enjoyed our visit to Cortes.

Curious Cabin is the ultimate antidote to busy city life; peaceful, pastoral and silent, except for the happy chortling of the free-range chickens foraging through the trees and the rain on the metal roof, both lovely sounds! It was so quiet, in fact, that we clocked the decibel level at 19, which is unheard of!! Beautifully stylish cabin, huge bathroom, cozy feather comforters, just such a treat! Everything is fresh and new inside. The flowers in both the kitchen and bathroom were such a lovely touch. After welcoming us, we neither heard from nor saw our host for the remainder of our stay, which was so appreciated. We were simply left to enjoy the atmosphere and privacy. The cabin is so completely private that I was able to imagine that it was my own cabin in the woods, if only briefly. Highly recommended.

We spent a wonderful moment in this Curious Cabin, away from the rest of the world. Filipe and Sharron warmly welcomed us with some tasteful veggies freshly picked from their garden. Their hospitality was only match by their respect for our privacy.

Filipe was a wonderful host. He left us a dozen fresh eggs and made us feel right at home. The cabin is on a beautiful property and is very private and peaceful.

We had a great time staying at Curious Cabin. It's located close to some lovely hiking trails and Gorge Harbour and driving to other areas of Cortes Island is easy from here. Felipe is a great host and easy to talk to. We particularly enjoyed the privacy offered being on the farm. We also enjoyed interacting with the turkeys and chickens :)

la place de Sue à Cortes Island était un vrai bijou! Ma famille avait un temps incroyable en regardant à travers tous les bibelots autour de la maison, se prélasser autour de la plate-forme avec la vue vraiment majestueux, et bien sûr de prendre un bain dans le jacuzzi que le coucher de soleil sur cette île tranquille. La maison possède tous les équipements dont on a besoin loin de la maison et il est super confortable. Il a certainement un vécu en ambiance, mais dans notre avis, il a ajouté plus de l'expérience que vous pourriez dire qu'il y avait beaucoup d'amour mis dans la place et des tonnes de l'histoire pour aller avec elle. Nous avons adoré la lecture des livres sur les zones locales prévues et tous les puzzles autres / jeux sur les étagères. Nous recommandons de prendre un bain dans le lac de La Haye et de vérifier tous les étonnants produisent / produits locaux à la Co-Op Bakery et marchés hebdomadaires! Cortes est certainement un shlep pour arriver à, mais une fois que vous êtes là, vous vous rendrez compte il n'y a pas beaucoup d'endroits à gauche sur la terre comme elle et elle est un véritable diamant brut. lieu 100% de Sue ajouté à l'expérience et nous avons tous senti qu'il était un bon prix pour une expérience original et amusant. Si nous avons de ce côté du monde à nouveau, vous pouvez parier nous réserver ici en une seconde! Merci beaucoup!!!

Susan helped us to take full advantage of Cortes Island and to make the cabin our home away from home. We loved the view, the hot tub, the comfy bedding, and the well-stocked kitchen.

Le Cortes Beachhouse est situé à une baie isolée magnifique sur l'île Cortes. Vue imprenable sur le pont et la chambre principale. Les enfants ont adoré la grande collection d'objets particuliers dans la maison et ont joué des variations de 'I Spy ...' ... très amusant! Nous avons vu beaucoup de (marine) la faune: les loutres, les phoques, lions de mer, des aigles, des vautours de dinde, chers, le raton laveur ... trop à la liste. Nous avons également enrichi notre repas quotidien par auto attrapé des crabes, des saumons (attrapé un grand chinook!) Et le sébaste. Le sentier Green Mountain est une grande marche pour obtenir une vue panoramique sur la baie. Conseillé. Nous avons été chanceux et on a pu voir une gousse d'orques du ferry; mais aussi allé sur un bateau (départ de Quadra) pour eux (et les baleines à bosse) observer de plus près. Étourdissant. Si vous visitez; s'il vous plaît être conscient que Cortes est vraiment distant ... rien de tel que de saut rapidement de retour à la terre ferme ... et les magasins de l'île sont limitées dans leurs approvisionnements. Serait sûrement revenir!

Ann and Ben were wonderful hosts who provided us with perfect accommodations, local history, sunset view of Gorge Harbour, comfortable beds, a babbling brook, fantastic kitchen, deck,and fireplace. Location is close to the ferry and grocery shopping at the Gorge or Cortes Markets and exploring the local beaches and hiking trails. We will be back on our next visit to Cortes Island

My husband, pup, and I could not have asked for a better Holiday getaway than this listing. The view is indescribable. The home has everything you need to entertain with games, CDs and old movies galore! We even took the canoe out on Christmas Day and enjoyed the silent inlet. If you are daunted by the ferry trips to get to Cortes, don't be! With the right preparation, it is a super smooth process and who wouldn't want to take ferries across BC waters! The local grocery shop and book store were all full of lovely hospitable locals that made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to return for a summer trip and jump in that crystal clear water! Thank you Doug and Doris for having us :)

Beschrijving van de lijst was juist - prachtige waterkant plek, mooie hut, veel karakter en geliefd. Locatie is ideaal - zo rustig en vredig, en een korte rit naar toegang tot verschillende hoeken van het eiland. Uitkijkend over Gorge Harbor we genoten van zonsondergangen en moonrises, en nam de kano uit voor een paar zachte peddels. De haven is gevuld met eenden en steltlopers, en af en toe een zegel - veel te kijken terwijl u geniet van uw koffie in de ochtend. Als je er in de winter, het is behoorlijk fris als je niet in de buurt van de houtkachel, maar het is niets dat een gloeiend heet bad (groot bad), gevolgd door een wollen trui en slippers niet kan oplossen. Het zaagsel toilet is helemaal prima en een geweldig systeem - heeft het helemaal niet opmerken. Doug en Doris waren beiden communicatief, vriendelijk en maakte de hele proces zeer eenvoudig. Aanbevolen voor een rustige winter retraite, gevuld met lezen en kanoën, kopjes thee en warme baden. Zou het leuk vinden om terug te keren in de zomer om te zien hoe het is!

Quel grand, original, superbe cabine! Nous avons séjourné ici pendant une semaine et avons trouvé que tout comme annoncé. La cabine est rustique, en utilisant des morceaux naturels de bois (troncs d'arbres, branches, etc.) dans le cadre de la structure, avec une vue superbe sur le port Gorge. Un endroit étonnamment calme étant donné qu'il peut y avoir une activité telle que l'élevage des huîtres dans le port. Une partie de l'explication de ce que pourrait être les grands arbres qui bordent la propriété - ma femme et moi le canot pour pagayer autour du port et il était difficile de voir la cabine. Pourtant, la vue depuis le pont et tous les étages ne sont pas obstruées! L'emplacement est assez central pour se déplacer Cortes et nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à explorer les plages, randonnée, et d'échantillonnage des lieux tels que le Co Op Café. Le seul jour de pluie que nous avions était pas un problème car nous avons juste flâné autour de la cabine, et regardé la faune (phoques communs, des huards, des oies, des martins-pêcheurs, des aigles). Une propriété unique, fortement recommandé, et nous y retournerons.

Loved the cabin! It was so cozy and peaceful to curl up by the fire and walk along the rocky shore below. You can see harbour seals from the kitchen window, starfish and crabs from the shore, and it's so quiet you can hear ravens flying overhead. I spent a lot of time just staring out the window over the water, the scenery's so lovely. Instructions on finding the place were clear, and everyone on the island is super friendly. The neighbours are there to help if you need anything. This is a great place for a quiet get-away to recharge and be close to nature.

Doug's place on Cortes was a welcome escape from the city life. It was incredibly relaxing, the location was spectacular and the description of the cabin was absolutely accurate.

Amazing in every way! Perfect! Please let me know if you ever want to sell tho I don't know why you would want to. It's paradise. And if you get bored (you won't get bored) you can get a taste of the island cloture at the co op cafe. Wish we had stayed longer. And the sawdust toilet is no big deal - works great.

Ik had zo'n geweldige tijd bij hut Doug's. Het weer was prachtig en het verkennen van Cortes was perfect om te wandelen en te zwemmen. De cabine krijgt de middagzon die is geweldig voor opknoping uit de hele middag op het dek was. Het was zeer privé en rustig, met alle voorzieningen die u nodig zou kunnen hebben. Ontspannen in het bad deed me denken aan een verblijf in mijn oma's. Het was gezellig en een zeer aangename week. Hopelijk kan ik er weer eens verblijven!

I have been both a guest and a host through Airbnb, and I have found that satisfaction in both cases is based on expectations, and how well those expectations are fulfilled by the host. I have to say that my wife and I were very, very happy with our experience having Doug as a host. The property was fantastic, very accurately described in text and photos on Airbnb and on the property's separate website. We loved the cabin, the property and the island. The views of the harbor from every window were terrific, the cabin was fully equipped and very comfortable. This is NOT a plush place, sterile and meticulously decorated; it is a cabin that has obviously been used and loved for years, developing a character that can't be created overnight. The location on the harbor could not have worked better for us: we arrived from Lund by ancient Boston Whaler, and we were able to anchor right off the shore with a bungee, the water being deep enough to give us access to the boat in spite of pretty significant tidal swings. We had a blast boating through the islands, including a couple of white-knuckle passages (these are big waters for a 17-foot open boat). It is truly a beautiful and memorable part of the world. Doug was an ideal host, quickly and helpfully responsive to us when we had minor issues with the water system in the cabin. His mother, Doris, came to our rescue after we left our handheld GPS (full of waypoints and routes it had taken us years to accumulate) at the cabin: she had the next renters bring it to her in Vancouver, whereupon she mailed it to us. We really appreciated Doug and Doris. The only even semi-negative thing we experienced was the sometimes brisk, even mildly hostile treatment we received from some of the islanders working at the stores and restaurants on the island. I guess after catering to the mega-yacht owners who pass through this beautiful harbor all summer, the usually-uber-friendly Canadians run out of friendly at some point. Stay here if you can! Bring a boat!!

Our stay was pure magic. We came as strangers but left with new friends. We were sad to leave and plan on visiting again.

I can't say enough nice things about Ann & Ben and their beautiful property on Cortes! Things got off to a rocky start though, as our plans changed and we needed to book this property last minute. For some reason Air BnB "auto-booked" or "instant booked" us into their home, even though Ann & Ben were out of town! Lucky for us, a friend of theirs was on the property and with her and the neighbours help we were able to get in touch with Ann, who was gracious enough to let us stay there even though they wouldn't be home that day! It was a bit of a strange experience for all involved, but we got things sorted out and ended up with the place to ourselves until Ann & Ben returned the next day. Hopefully they are able to get this feature disabled for their rental so this doesn't end up happening to them again! Anyway, the location is great - close to Manson's Landing and not far from the ferry. We had the most amazing view from our bedroom window, and were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunset while we were there. Their property is quite large and features a small stream that runs right next to the house, providing the perfect "white noise" for us to fall asleep to. A small sandspit runs out to the water here as well, and we took advantage of this space for doing a morning yoga practice. I would highly recommend staying here if you're to visit Cortes Island, it's a magic piece of land with the kindest of hosts. :-)

Nora a fait tout son possible pour que nous nous sentions les bienvenus. Elle nous a donné des oeufs frais de ses poulets, produire de son jardin, et fait maison savon. Le Penthouse était propre et confortable avec une vue imprenable. La cuisine était bien approvisionné et parfait pour la cuisson. Il était tellement merveilleux de récolter les huîtres et les palourdes de la baie juste en face de la maison et les faire cuire dans la fosse de feu sur la plage! Nous avons également apprécié pagayer autour dans les kayaks que Nora si généreusement partagé. L'expérience a été spectaculaire! J'espère revenir un jour!

A great place on an amazing cove. The view is fantastic, and the windows open wide so that you can drink it all in. The place has all of the necessary amenities, and the rest can be found in the Co-Op a few km up the road. We very much appreciated the use of the kayaks. There are seals on the rocks and clams in the sand. What more could you want? Be aware that the stairs are steep, and the beds are not the best. Could be an issue for some. We would definitely come back.

Notre séjour à Nora était incroyable! Bel emplacement, de superbes chambres et Nora était une hôtesse chaleureuse et accueillante. Recommande fortement!

Probablement pas obtenir une meilleure vue où sur l'île, étant dans la bouche de la lagune, vous pouvez voir le flux constant de l'eau!

This is a very special and magical place. One of our best AirBnB places we have stayed. The view is incredible. It is very relaxing and quiet. Nora was very kind and showed us how to pick clams and oysters and shared her amazing garden lettuce. Her eggs are amazing, too. To be able to use her kayaks right off the beach in front of the house was a bonus. We would love to come back again and again.

Unfortunately we did not get to meet Norah but her husband Ian went out of his way to make us feel welcome ... The place is a beautifully converted loggers float house and the location is magnificent . Norah had kayaks available for our use and we harvested oysters for supper right off the beach . We had a wonderful time would definitely go back and stay for at least a week . Ken

This is such a magical place & would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away on Cortes! The property is lovely, very clean & well equipped. The view of the bay is absolutely amazing! We had lovely fresh eggs thanks to Nora & the chickens & fresh oysters & clams from the bay too :) We were also able to use the kayaks and paddleboards on the property & their fire pit on the beach - so amazing! I want to go back!

Nora is a great person and it's our pleasure to meet the family and of course the stay was wonderful. Parents with younger children need to be responsible for theirs and their children's actions and safety while practicing conservation and protection of nature and the surrounding habitat, get appropriate licenses and obey the laws, rules and regulations.

I had to cancel last minute. Melissa was very understanding.

Es ist eine sehr schöne und gemütliche Ort. Meine Familie genossen am Mansons Lagoon Cottage zu bleiben. Auch in der regen, die Aussicht war wunderschön und sehr entspannend.

We knew from the pictures Melissa posted on the website that the cottage was going to be special but we weren't prepared for just how special! The house has a charm that can't be captured through photography - you just have to go there to experience it's magic. Melissa was very helpful throughout the whole booking experience and provided great info on the island and how to get to the cottage ahead of time. She was warm and welcoming and gave us what felt like a personalized treatment. The cottage is also ideally located on Cortes for getting to all the great swimming beaches and amenities - although we really didn't want to leave the cottage. There is just so much to say about how great it is. Personal favourites were the outdoor (hot) shower with views of the lagoon, the comfy deck with pillows and blankets for just soaking up the surroundings, the lagoon, the sunsets, the reflections of the moon on the water, the peaceful garden and listening to the bees buzzing amongst all the glorious flowers. We also took full advantage of Melissa's kind offer to use their personal row boat and enjoyed paddling about the lagoon and looking at all the amazing marine life teeming below us. I even accepted a marriage proposal whilst being rowed out at sunset - it's that kind of place! We will most definitely be coming back here again. Thank you for a truly unforgettable stay. x

A magical place on the lagoon. We loved the quietness and the hearing the owls hooting at night. The cabin is very cute. The host family is very nice & friendly.

My parents and sister were welcomed beautifully into Melissa's beautiful home on the fabulous lagoon on Cortes Island.The home was immaculately clean with a large exotic Bouquet of flowers from the garden.There was a wonderful library for reading on inclement weather (URL HIDDEN) family was entranced by the tidal activity in the lagoon and any needs we had were taken care of immediately by (URL HIDDEN) was a perfect spot for a our family to celebrate my father's 86 th birthday. I highly recommend Melissa's home for a great experience .

Nicely greeted as we arrived. Quiet porch and good BBQ. Comfy beds. Great fireplace. Launched our kayaks on the beach for a great paddle in the area.

I thought about doing a bad review so that people would stay away from Mansons Lagoon Cottage & we would be more likely to be able to book here again easily BUT I just couldn't do that. But that statement alone should tell you how wonderful it is here.!! This was our 2nd time staying at the cottage & we love it. Easily enough room for 4 people in the 2 bedrooms with very comfy beds plus living room couches for more people. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cutlery, pots & pans. We brought our clothes, food, some foil pans to use in the barbecue & paper towels. Covered decks in case of rain. Thank you so much Melissa for the beautiful fresh cut flowers that were in the kitchen & bedrooms when we arrived. I could write more but suffice it to say that we love love it at Mansons Lagoon Cottage.

Melissa's place was exactly as described. Previous reviewers have commented on the trail to the cottage being treacherous, we did not find this to be true at all. The kitchen was shockingly well appointed, the space clean and comfortable, and the outdoor shower a treat. Overall 10/10, would stay again! We highly recommend this place :)

Wonderful private studio cottage with deck -- it's small, but thoughtfully curated with everything you'll need, and more. Didn't get to meet Toni, but she was prompt with questions or concerns by email before I arrived, and even phoned me at the cottage upon arrival to make sure all was okay. Central location just down hill from market and natural foods co-op. Definitely recommended.

This place was great for our needs, the right blend of secluded and yet easy access to all Cortes has to offer. The cabin was stocked with all we needed and Toni and Joe were very friendly. It is definitely a small, cozy space but was perfect for our needs. The only issue some people might have is the bathroom doesn't have a door and is separated from the main space only by a curtain, but again this didn't really bother us.

My mom stayed at Toni's and had a magnificent time - Toni and her partner Joe are great hosts and went out of their way to make her visit comfortable and enjoyable and to make her feel welcome. They did this in such a kind, genuine and gracious way, and I HIGHLY recommend their adorable, very clean and comfy/cosy place to anyone lucky enough to spend time on Cortes! :-)

Toni picked me up from the water taxi and was a fabulous host throughout the duration of my stay

Great location, friendly hosts, a wonderful three days on beautiful Cortes Island. Thank you Toni and Joe!!

The cabin is lovely, with a comfy bed, lots of kitchen utensils and a deck to sit outside. It's basically right next to what must be BC's best bakery (at the Coop) and to beautiful Hague Lake! Toni and Joe have been very friendly and helpful. Thank you for your hospitality, and see you around on Cortes!

We had a fantastic time in Toni's cabin and can highly recommend it to other visitors of cortes island. The location couldn't be better, as it's next to a little sandy beach of the hague lake, in a quiet neighborhood and still you have a coffee house, stores and more in walking distance. In the very clean cabin we found everything we needed for cooking and slept on a comfy bed. Our rating wouldn't be complete without mentioning how helpful Toni and Joe were. They managed it perfectly to take care of our wellbeing and still ensure that we have our privacy.

We absolutely loved Toni and Joe's cabin. It had everything we needed, and what a great location perched right above the lake. Hoping we find an opportunity to come back for a longer stay!

Hosts were welcoming but didn't crowd us. They were very attentive to detail and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and happy with the accommodations. The cottage was set up really nicely for us when we arrived with everything we could want. A nice place for a quiet few days in a beautiful part of the world.

Ich hatte die beste Erfahrung jemals bei Tony und Debbies kleine Hütte in Mansons Landing. Vor allem Tony und Debbie sind die nettesten, wärmsten, großzügige Menschen. Auch ganz gut informiert über ihre kleine Ecke des Himmels dort auf Cortes Island und ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Die Kabine ist makellos und hat alles, was man brauchen könnte oder wollen in der Art von Ausrüstung. Das Bett war so warm und gemütlich. Die Küche hatte einen großen Kühlschrank, guter Herd, Toaster, elektrischer Wasserkocher und Töpfe und Pfannen in Hülle und Fülle - um nur einige zu nennen. Das Wohnzimmer hat ein bequemes Sofa und Sessel und TV mit einer Million Kanäle zur Auswahl. Die Beleuchtung (künstliche und natürliche) ist gut. Die Einrichtung ist fröhlich, koordiniert und zeitgenössischen ..

Platz war super. Noch schöner, als in den Bildern. Auf jeden Fall freuen uns wieder zurück zu kommen!

My husband and I came here from nanaimo for a weekend getaway and couldn't have had a better time. Deb and Tony were great hosts and the place was so cozy and cute!! I can't wait to come back - it really was perfect! Thank you!!

Ich hatte einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt! Die Kabine ist sehr schön. Das Bett ist gemütlich, die Badewanne ist erstaunlich, die Küche ist komplett ausgestattet, und das Deck ist wunderbar. Die Gastgeber ließen mich sogar ein paar erstaunliche Leckereien, die ich sehr zu schätzen. Ich freue mich darauf, wieder hier zu übernachten hören !!

Die Kabine ist makellos sauber und komfortabel, mit schönen "berührt" überall. Das Haus ist neu renoviert und privat. Der Gastgeber, Debbie, ging darüber hinaus unseren Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis zu machen - uns die Nutzung ihres Autos anbieten und uns vom Fähre Kommissionierung. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten.

Am erstaunlichsten Lage !! Ein solches Juwel auf dieser schönen Insel. Die Gastgeber waren freundlich, hilfsbereit und gastfreundlich. Es gab so viele kleine Details der Pflege, die den Raum bemerkenswert und die Eigenschaft machte sich magisch! Sehr empfehlenswert

This cabin is so beautifully and tastefully put together. There are many thoughtful and unique touches that make it truly memorable. It was clean, comfortable and cute. We highly recommend a stay here. Very centrally located and easy to find and hosts are very thoughtful. Five stars!!!

Cortes is a remarkable place and the joy of it is the people and the magic and hague lake.. it is the coop and the proximity of hollyhock and the fact that wherever you turn there are people there is the possibility of something unexpected.. At Diane's I listened to bard owls in the night, used a very clean, full of personality outhouse, and slept with the doors and windows wide open. In some ways I felt as though I was camping, and my 58 year old body felt like it was 20 again..

What an amazing place! Everything was charming and wonderful. The bedrooms have a lovely artistic feel with a spiral wood staircase and tree branches as part of the trim. The kitchen area is spacious and has everything you need (cookstove, refrigerator, kettle, tea/coffee, dishes, large counter, dining table, and breakfast fixings). It was very peaceful enjoying breakfast there while looking out over the yard and garden and fruit trees. Being able to use the studio was a dream come true for us as we have professional dancers in the family. The studio space is fabulous with mirrors, a wood stove, a piano, TV/VCR, portable ballet bars, and big barn doors that open out to a large deck. Diane and Andrew were super hosts - very friendly and interesting people. This is a great place to stay on Cortes and gives a special glimpse into local life on the island. We feel very grateful we had a chance to stay at the Hummingbird Haven Cottage!

Diane and Andrew were amazing hosts! They were willing to accommodate us on VERY short notice (a matter of hours), and they provided us with a tour of their wonderful home right when we arrived (despite a late night arrival). They were warm and inviting and left us a bottle of local wine and chocolate. They were extremely communicative, always responding to any requests we had within a matter of hours. The home itself is beautiful, with two full beds, a big space, and beside a beautiful backyard. It's near beautiful hiking trails, Hague Lake, and very near to Hollyhock (which was convenient for us since we were taking a leadership training course there). We loved our stay and would highly recommend it!

Our hosts made us feel very welcome and were very helpful. This is a lovely family and we enjoyed meeting them. A lovely rustic cabin nestled in the woods, yet near to all the charming sites on Cortes Island. We loved the big dance/yoga space and the cozy beds. The outdoor kitchen was lovely. We'd definitely return!

Hi Lisa and Rex, My stay here was wonderful! So peaceful and serene. Exactly what I had hoped for! Thank you so much!! Charlene :)

My husband, 4-year old, and I loved staying at Lisa's cozy, clean, and serene suite on Cortes. She was available, friendly, kind, and made us feel completely welcome! We are grateful for the lovely retreat, and can't wait to come back to Cortes. Thank you, Lisa! -Elizabeth, Dave, and Silas

We loved the suite and Cortes! The location is perfect, right beside Manson's Landing and on Hague Lake. We used the canoe to paddle around the lake and we swam in the lake. Lisa and Rex were very helpful and gracious.

It was such a pleasure staying at Lisa's! The room was beautiful and clean, plus the view is absolutely gorgeous. She and her family were quiet and respectful of our privacy, but also made us feel very welcome. We loved being able to take out the canoe! The listing description fits perfectly; the only difference is that the place looks better in person than in the photos. We felt right at home, and look forward to returning next year!

Lisa gave us good instructions for finding their house and greeted us as we walked into the property. The apartment was all we hoped for and more. A beautiful quiet spot with great view.

We found Lakeside Suite to be a delightful retreat and staging point for our visit to Cortes Island. Since our itinerary included presenting a course at Hollyhock, the quietly beautiful suite was a great place to begin our stay on the Island and to return to after leaving Hollyhock. Lisa and Rex are stellar hosts who could not be more accommodating or helpful. They have created a home where the best of the island's culture, beauty and hospitality finds focus, framed by a magnificent and colorful garden, stately evergreens and expansive views of Hague Lake. The spacious suite has a comfortable queen bed, and is cheerfully decorated with some of Lisa's lovely art. There is a large bathroom with an awesome shower. A dozen or so excellent novels and two comfy chairs invite you to curl up on a rainy day for indoor adventure while the busy robins and hummingbirds outside the large picture window punctuate the life outdoors. It is possible to prepare simple meals in the mini-cooking area, and the fridge will hold your drinks and favorite foods. We took advantage of the easy walk to businesses and amenities of Mansons Village, although we probably enjoyed TOO MANY outrageously good muffins from the Co-op. There are lovely places to walk, and the School to Sea Trail is a favorite and leisurely hike. Don't hesitate to use the canoe at Lakeside Suite to explore the glassy lake and sandy swimming beaches. We had a great stay! Thank you, Lisa and Rex, for a wonderful visit to Cortes. Annie and Cliff

Our Host welcomed us with everything we could possibly need in our suite, a super comfortable bed with a view facing out onto the lake, a fridge and cupboard fully stocked with everything we might need to cook with and nice hot showers. The bonus for us was getting up early and canoeing on the pristine lake with a canoe which they provide. Pure bliss! We were sad to have to leave. Heaven on earth.
