As I considered options for the outset of my BC Gulf Islands retreat, I instinctively felt that kicking it all off with Dorothy and Greg would be the right transition. My instinct was right. They are gracious, generous hosts with a beautiful property that not only exemplifies pride of ownership, but also pride of authorship (Greg can identify the origin of each brick). Dorothy's excellent communication skills (and responsiveness) helped me ease into another world and pace. A scholar and a craftsman: what a perfect pair of hosts. Don't hesitate to stay here and to take ALL of their advice with regards to hikes, food and paddling. My sole regret: I didn't get to try Greg's crepes. Final advice: three days here and riding around Maine (I was on my e-bike) felt like a perfect sojourn, creatively constrained by inter-island ferry schedules.
