As an American traveler with pets, I could not have been more pleased about this experience. The cottage is on the edge of a slope giving you the illusion of being in a big treehouse. Enjoyed an evening hot tub watching the lights of the boats sail by. I wanted a rustic vacation, a quiet retreat and Mayne Island didn’t disappoint. Jacquie offered suggestions for a couple local sights, and was responsive to requests booking thru Airbnb. My little dogs got to meet the property residents- 2 horses and an occasional deer, the cottage was clean, fun, and practical for my needs. 5 stars from me - hoping I can find the opportunity to visit again!
