We loved our stay with friends. The cottage is lovely and very private, with a well appointed kitchen and high quality bed linens. The house has plenty of charm, and lots of games and books and movies to enjoy. The claw foot tubs were a delight to soak in! The house was a bit hard to find in the dark, as the driveway sign isn’t visible in the dark. It was also very cold when we arrived, and since we couldn’t get the propane fireplace lit, took several hours to warm the downstairs. But we built a wood fire in the second fireplace, bundled up and settled in and loved every minute of our stay. Galiano is a wonderful location for families, and Joanne’s cottage a perfect home base to explore from. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
