Our family had a terrific time at the cabin. Check in was easy, Neil was really accommodating, and the lake was beautiful. There were lots of beautiful beaches and bays to explore on Pender. Just a heads up about the ferries to Pender...the route from tsawassen to Pender is 100% reservable so you need to plan in advance or else be prepared to go to Swartz bay and backtrack. We booked this trip for the long weekend fairly last minute and didn't realize that catching the exact ferry we wanted would be a problem. Luckily it all worked out in the end. Shouldn't be a problem with advance planning though.
