Our time on Pender was magic, so much so that it's hard to put into words. We hiked, ran, beach combed, kayaked and in general explored this epic islands with gusto, but the best part of our week was lounging around Everest's beautifully bespoke cabin with our dog—watching the sunset, making breakfast and dinner with fixings from the Farmers market, sipping coffee from Slow Coast, napping in the reading nook next to a wall of windows, and stretching out in the cool and ultra comfortable bedroom to watch a film. Everything about our stay was A+.

The cottage is situated and sited so well into the landscape that it can alternately feel like a treehouse dangling off the cliffside or a cathedral made from an upturned viking ship. The architecture and landscape are in complete balance and the light at all hours is something to behold. On top of the gorgeous location and cottage, our interactions with Everest, Daniel and their two children were always delightful and respectful. We will definitely be back if they'll have us!
