I needed five days to work on a creative project, alone, with my dog. Tracey's cottage was the perfect experience and Tracey was the perfect host. She picked me up from the ferry and dropped me off. She provided me with a useful handwritten map of the area that guided my lengthy dog walks. The location was tranquil, as were the walks to the ocean, where I saw fascinating rock formations at the intertidal zone. For most of my stay, I didn't see another human soul on the beach or in the Enchanted Forest. What's more, Tracy gave me some extra coffee grounds and cream when I ran out! The cottage has a composting toilet, which was easy to use. The cottage is near beautiful walks and lookouts along Boundary Passage Drive, the Castle Road uphill hike, the Enchanted Forest, Poets Cove pools, and the three most popular beaches on Pender Island at Brooks Point Regional Park. Best of all, the silence you'll realize you're swaddled in. Be sure to go for a walk at night where you can hear the swell of crickets and the constellations pop in the darkness. I would happily return again.
