As soon as we walked in to the Tall House, we realized that we should've booked for longer. The lush forest and the quietness of the area was exactly what we expected from the Pender Islands. The location is quite remote, so you have to plan for that.
Andy was a great host and helped us get settled in. Although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Gloria, we definitely felt her presence through the handwritten note and the delicious scones!
The kitchen was very useful as things tend to close down early on Pender, but that meant that we were able to enjoy farm fresh eggs and excellent local meat. The fireplace was perfect and kept a nice heat in the house. The bed was also very comfortable.
We really enjoyed the book on the hiking trails of the Pender Islands! Mount Norman was very close, a great work out with stunning views at the top.
The walk down to Craddoch Beach was easy and rewarding. We sat there for a couple hours in the afternoon to enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful view of Mount Baker.
The Tall House on Pender was certainly an excellent choice for us and we hope to visit it again in the future!
