The cottage is a great spot for a quiet getaway. Dave and Carol were very responsive and everything was as expected. There are plenty of things to see and do on Galiano Island, including several nice places to hike, but the cottage is comfortable for just hanging out too. There's a good collection of books, including some with information on local attractions. The setting couldn't be better, with views of the water and the comings and goings of the ferries. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped, and we made some simple meals, but also enjoyed eating at several of the island's restaurants. Especially noteworthy was our dinner at Pilgrimme, near Montague Harbor. It's a little spendy, but well worth it. It's one of the most unusual dining experiences my wife and I have had, and I mean that in a good way. We were amazed to find such an inventive gourmet restaurant on this rather remote island.
