Kate’s cabin was much more than I expected. Spacious, lots of books, music, movies and tourist info. I stayed a month so I had time to get steeped in nature and the feel of Mayne Island. The cabin felt private and secluded (unlike some AirBnB properties where you stay right next to the owner). The bed is comfortable and the decorative lights both outside and inside add a lovely intimacy. Kitchen is well equipped with anything you might need including three choices of coffee maker and decent knives.
My dog loved it there. He could stay on the closed in porch or go wander on the property. The place was sparkling clean. The forest around the cabin was beautiful with evergreens and gorgeous arbutus trees.
The shore is only a short walk away (5-10 minutes). There are lots of beautiful walks and very little traffic. Besides seeing the tourist places, I took some aimless, no GPS drives around the island just turning down roads the seemed interesting. A great way to discover. I also took the ferry to Victoria twice—well worth it if you are staying for some time.
I was on the island in February. It was a great time bc I saw no tourists and got a real feel for the island.
Kate was a lovely host. I would have liked to spend more time with her but Covid…She has two precious dogs who are very friendly and cute!
I’m grateful I had a chance to stay in Kate’s lovely cabin for a month!
