We had a lovely stay at this resort, which served as a wonderful home base for our family adventure on Galiano Island. The cabins are cozy and provided us with good cooking amenities for meals, especially given the limited dining options during off-season. However, the cabins do have a retro feel and the beds could be a bit softer. Overall, it was a delightful experience that I would happily recommend to others.

We had a lovely two-night stay at the resort which served as a great launchpad for exploring Galiano Island. The cabins were cozy and had kitchen amenities that were perfect for our family meals. While the property was beautifully maintained, we did encounter some minor issues with the kitchen appliances tripping the breaker. Check-in could have been more personal, but overall, it was a pleasant experience I'd definitely recommend to others.

I had a wonderful time staying in the cabins at this resort! They are clean and well-maintained, and the rustic vibe really adds to the charm. The location provides beautiful views and a great base for exploring the island. The only downside was that the beds were a bit too firm for my liking, but that could be a preference thing. Overall, this place offers fantastic value for a cozy getaway.
