What a lovely getaway! The cottage is on 14 acres nestled in the trees giving the feeling of being in a treehouse. It feels very private with pretty views everywhere you look through the windows and from the large deck- we saw the ferries passing each other lit up at night through the branches.
We couldn't get over how quiet it was on Mayne Island in October - lots to do with the absence of city noise. I think we could have lived at the bakery and the Japanese garden nearby is like a secret garden, so pretty.
We cooked most meals at the cottage - there is a small grocery store near the bakery. The house is uncluttered so easy to keep clean and nice to have had the barbeque and dishwasher.
Inside, the cottage is open and well-finished - light, bright and very clean. There are heaters in every room so it is warm and cozy when it rains. The beds are comfortable and there are soft towels in the bathroom.
Jacquie met us at the cottage and was then available if we needed her but left us to have an enjoyable retreat. She was gracious and accommodating with easy, helpful communication if we had any questions.
Such a nice place to visit. We would have loved to have stayed longer!
