Raylia cottage is as cozy and wonderful as it looks! Michele and her 4 golden retrievers welcomed us when we arrived and showed us around the place. There was a fire already waiting for us in the fireplace and Michele brought us eggs or breakfast from her free run chickens. The cottage had everything we needed and was perfectly private. The property is situated directly beside a regional park with hiking trails and views of the island, and there’s a well stocked organic store just 5 minutes walking distance down the road. We loved exploring the island and seeing all of the beautiful sea creatures that Mayne Island has to offer (sea otters, seals, porpoise, deer & eagles), and Raylia cottage was the perfect homebase for us to read, write, and relax when we weren’t exploring. Highly recommend this place! It’s perfect and Michele is an amazing host! :)
