If you want silence in the woods to totally unplug (there's zero phone reception!) THIS is your place! :) The space is mostly private (a hop skip jump to the main path which takes you to the Jack and Jen's place) the surrounding nature is very beautiful and we really enjoyed the silence away from it all for our 3 night stay.
Pretty much totally as described and if your mindful of your hot water usage (washing dishes, showering) you won't run out. The small kitchen area is well thought out with all the basics needed to cook meals including a small oven.
Some details to note:
-The cabin doesn't get a lot of sun exposure during the day. The sun trickles in through the trees throughout the day which is super beautiful but make sure to pack warm clothing to dress in layers.
-The closest beach within walking distance from the cabin is beautiful Pebble Beach and is more like a 30 min hike away not 5 min (as comments from others suggest) so bring your hiking shoes and a bottle of water!
-The futon bed in the loft is really not suited for 2 people. It's quite tight up there in corners where if you're sleeping closest to the window you will not be able to lift your legs at all.
-The sofa mattress is original from the 1970's. You may want to consider bringing an air mattress, in place of the beds that are available, if you require a less firm surface to sleep on.
Galiano is a beautiful island to discover with pockets of very cool eateries (We LOVED the Crane and Robin in Montague Harbour) with tonnes of natural spots to explore. Jan and Jack's place is very charming and real bang for your buck. I would recommend a stay in this special place and we look forward to maybe returning again someday. Thanks Jen and hello Sophie! :)
