Great cottage, very comfortable with nice view and easy beach access. We found it very easy to relax. I loved hiking around the woods. There were great open play areas for the kids. The teenager loved camping out in the hammock. The kids all loved the giant tree swing in the woods. This is a great spot for kayaks. The cottage layout was very functional for our family and we loved eating at the nice picnic table outside and relaxing in the Adirondack chairs, enjoying the view. I was surprised by the frequency of the campers walking by in front of the cabin. But we were there at the tail end of a holiday weekend in August, so I am sure there was a particularly high level of camper activity. It is likely more private any other time of the year. I would highly recommend this cottage and Mayne Island. We would love to return. Thank you!
