We enjoyed our short stay at this cozy little cottage perched on a cliff above Montague Harbour. It was a bit too cold to sit out on the deck, but the wall of windows and sliding glass doors meant that we were able to sit inside and take in the expansive view while the wood stove kept us nice and warm. Communication with Erik was prompt and helpful. We stayed in five different places during this trip to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, and the other four offered the standard 3 or 4 pm check in and 10 or 11 am check out. In contrast, Erik offers early check in for guests arriving on the early ferry and, to allow time for cleaning, departing guests are asked to leave by 9 am sharp. I knew before arriving that the check-out time was 9 am, but the timing of the early ferry was difficult for us so we took the only other option which got us to the cottage after 6 pm (not really thinking about the fact that in October it would be dark by then). Suggest that guests take the early ferry if possible, in order to the get best value out of this rental.
