I'd never been to Galiano before this trip, but I had always heard amazing things about the island and so when I had the chance to get away from the city for the weekend Helen's place looked like the perfect option. This cabin was even more beautiful in person than we thought it was going to be, with every room well equipped with thoughtful details like candles and matches set out on the tables. We were able to rent a movie from daystar market to watch here, but mostly the cabin made us want to forget that the outside world existed.

We didn't have a car with us coming in so the trip was a little stressful as it was a little tricky finding the address on a map, so I would advise planning a little ahead. We were lucky to be able to get a ride both on our way in and out from the ferry (avoiding a lot of the hour-long walk) people here are so sweet! The covered porch was especially lovely as a place to watch the rain fall over the trees from dry comfort. My only regret was that we weren't able to stay longer than we did, but I am already fantasizing about coming back!
