Great Cottage

This cottage was picture perfect. Our family enjoyed our stay here. It is close to many stores and dining options, but the kitchen is perfect to cook in as well. As others have stated, the landscaping is absolutely beautiful.

Probably the cleanest place we’ve stayed in. Such a beautiful cozy place for our visit to the island. Has all you need in the kitchen. Well stocked. Beautiful patio out front that is shaded all day. So quiet and peaceful. Saw humming birds, rabbits and deer walk by. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will book again when we return. Family loved our stay. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us!

Cozy Crafstman Cottage

Wonderful cozy and functional cottage with superior design, craftsmanship and furnishing throughout. Excellent home base to visit with family and enjoy the central area of the island. The kitchen island and adjacent dining area made it easy to prepare and enjoy meals. Great private setting with plenty of large windows to enjoy the forest surroundings.

Cottage of my Dreams

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the moment we walked through the front door our cares melted away. The cottage is set apart in a quiet forested / landscaped area that gives you privacy and great views out every window. This place checks all the boxes. I almost hate to give it this review because I want to keep it for myself. Stay here! You won’t be disappointed.

Very enjoyable cottage in a private location.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would easily choose to stay again. We were visiting family for July in a other part of Lantzville, so used this place as our home base. It was very comfortable and secluded, giving us a quiet place to retreat in the evening. The cottage itself is stylishly decorated and very modern. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to explore this part of the island.

Family Stay

A real gem of a property. The hosts were great to communicate with and went above and beyond to ensure everything was catered for. The cottage is unique and has a lot of character. The location was also perfect for exploring the mid to north of the island. Our kids loved the property also - smart TV, patio area and plenty of places to hide! Highly recommended.
