We stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved it. John is an attentive and responsive host. The cabin was comfortable for three close friends, with a queen size bed in the bedroom and a pull-out sofa in the living room. Note that there is no door to the bedroom. We appreciated that the bathroom, shower, and laundry room are separate from the cabin but right next door with a covered walkway.
We had our (complimentary) morning coffee on the deck, then took drinks and snacks down the lawn to the chairs on the edge of the beach, where we saw seals, otters, and deer.
The cabin is walking distance to the bakery, the grocery store and liquor store, the Springwater Pub, Das Nest Restaurant, and some shops.
We took John’s two kayaks out one afternoon and had a lovely paddle around the bay. Amateur kayakers (like us!) just be careful of the waves by the shore a few minutes after the ferries go by.
Everything was super-clean; bathrobes were provided and there were plenty of towels.
This was an excellent place to stay for our first time on Mayne Island and we would definitely stay here again.
