A wonderful spot for a relaxing getaway! Lois was extremely accommodating and always replied quickly to my emails. A great cottage, and the campsites on the property looked lovely as well with great facilities. The cottage was outfitted with everything we needed, plus some extras like shampoo, coffee and tea. The pictures don't do the beach justice- it's truly spectacular. Would definitely recommend this spot to friends/family. Thanks again, Lois!

The Seal Beach cottage was the perfect getaway. I booked it last minute as a surprise for my boyfriend, and it was perfect. Lois was so communicative and helped me with my late booking and was so kind. The cottage looked even better in person than in the photos! The beach next to the cottage was always deserted and so peaceful. We were able to sit and watch the sun go down and got to see the famous seals the next morning. The apartment had everything we needed for a getaway, and was a short drive from the ferry. There were so many cute cafes, a great pub, tasty bistro as well as bookstores, studios and shops- we only wish we had more time. A big highlight is the Saturday farmers market and thrift store- don't miss it! We loved staying at Lois' Seal Beach cottage and can't wait to visit again. Thanks again.

Beautiful cottage surrounded by lots of nature! The place was just as described: two comfortable bedrooms, a very well equipped kitchen to cook meals, a TV to watch movies on a rainy evening and a nice fire place in the living/dining room to make it super cozy on a cold day/night! The BIG bonus: a very private beach and forest! AND it was only a 15 minute walk to town. Highly recommend it for a relaxing weekend retreat. My family and I wanted to stay longer and next time we will. Thank you Lois! We fell in love with your place.

Seal Beach Cottage is a piece of heaven. If you are looking for relaxation this is the place. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys leisurely strolls through the forest or just sitting back in the Adirondack chairs looking at the ocean while eagles fly overhead. It is very peaceful and secluded.

Lois was very easy to work with. She answered questions and replied to emails quickly, kindly and with clarity. The cottage is lovely, simple, comfortable and cozy, and the location is very peaceful and beautiful and we enjoyed the nearby hikes and restaurants.

Second time at Lois's place. It's warm and cozy and the scenery is spectacular. A gem!

Pictures cannot begin to do justice for this magical cottage. The cottage itself is pristine and perfect but the location is breathtaking. We spent our mornings having our tea on the beach watching the 40+ seals frolic and sun bathe, the heron grazing on the beach and the bald eagles soaring above. Be sure to visit the Japanese gardens while on the island, what a pleasant surprise.

My wife and our two children (9, 12) enjoyed a lovely mid-week holiday at Seal Beach, with cozy accommodations, ocean just out our door and access to nature (seals, otters, eagles, etc.) all around us. The location and cabin exceeded our expectations - we would gladly come back again another time...and hopefully stay longer this time. Booking was a breeze and Lois was very prompt with replies and assistance, both before and during our stay. Our host, Kathryn (Lois' daughter), was very helpful and friendly - she even came over to the cabin one evening to tell us a family of otters was out on the floating dock and that we shouldn't miss them! A wonderful and serene location, easily accessible from the ferry by bike, with only a few hills to deal with. We were able to ride our bikes down to the corner grocery store for provisions, and enjoyed a nice meal at a local cafe. Lots of area on the property to explore...plus an open field with a few items of sports equipment helped entertain the kids, as well. A glorious location that would be great any time of the year. Can't recommend it enough.

This place was amazing. Alexis greeted me when I arrived, and she was so kind. We chatted about the origins of the cottage (great education for me!). The place was wonderful. Everything advertised and more. It is a lovely walk to the stores for some grub or anything you might need. You are so close to different shoreline access points. The sheep that the owners have roam the yards and were so fun to chat with and watch. The cottage is extremely comfortable. I enjoyed my tea, a fire, and the solitude immensely. I would and have recommended this place to anyone else. It was great to find a place at a wonderful location that was easy to navigate, feels off the grid, without being tons of work to the guest. The layout of the place is so fun, and the spaces to sit and read or write in the cottage are ideal. The delicious bread that was awaiting my arrival was a great treat, and the island was a wonderful, wonderful place to escape. Such a quiet but kind community. I honestly enjoyed my 5 day stay so much, and I was very sorry to have to leave.

Our weekend at the Cob cottage was wonderful! Alexis is the most welcoming hostess imaginable, even picking us up from the ferry and offering lots of tips on things to do on Mayne. The cottage is very warm and cozy with the fire on, and has a very well equipped kitchen. Alexis provided some lovely baking, fresh eggs and milk and other breakfast items, along with some useful maps of the island. Mayne is beautiful and we hope to be back someday. Thank you for everything!

Alexis and Manny were so welcoming! We found fresh bread, eggs from the chickens, milk and butter in the cob cottage when we arrived. The cob cottage was PERFECT. The sheep were really nice too. Everything was amazing.

do yourself a favor and book a stay here. it may be one of the most magical places you've visited! the cob house is a beautiful oasis that will make you feel at the same time pampered and connected to the earth. it is spacious (with a huge private yard!), charming, comfortable, and unique. Alexis and her family, along with the ducks and sheep and chickens and bunnies were absolutely delightful hosts. and Mayne Island is a beautiful location that's perfect for a weekend getaway or longer stay (i stayed a whole month!).

Had a wonderful week long stay at this very inspiring place. Beautiful even in the dead of winter! Alexis was a perfect host and we had everything we needed taken care of. Highly recommended!

Alexis, Manny & their children really are the perfect hosts! I had emailed Alexis before arriving asking about vegan food options on the island, and she remembered this and baked us a loaf of beautiful vegan banana bread that was waiting for us in the kitchen when we arrived!! The cob cottage is even more adorable in real life than in the pictures, if that's possible. The way the house is decorated is lovely; everything is so well thought out. Everything was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was really well equipped - I could see that you would have everything you needed to cook for yourself for a longer stay. There were flowers from the property in every room, loads of cushions and blankets, wood and kindling for the fire, mosquito nets for the windows, two balconies from the bedroom nook to enjoy the view. This was the nicest accomodation either my partner or I have ever stayed in! Highly, highly recommended.

Alexis and Manny are very friendly and accomodating. The Cob House is very unique, comfortable, well equipped with everyday essentials. The location is secluded and very quiet. We would highly recommend this place.

Honeymooning on Mayne Island in the cob cottage was so special to us. The cottage itself is magical: cozy, simple, and adorned with the most darling details. Alexis was incredibly warm and welcoming, letting us chat and play with her sweet sons and sharing advice on island life when we needed it. She could not have been a better host. When we arrived, she had set out fresh flowers upstairs and downstairs, and there was fresh eggs, butter, and milk in the small refrigerator. Also, apples and plums from the orchard, as well as homemade granola in the pantry. We spent a lot of time cooking our own meals and found the kitchen to be stocked perfectly for our needs. We also enjoyed walks to the nearby beaches , cozy afternoons reading by the fire, and feeding the wandering sheep. We relished our time there and left feeling incredibly relaxed and motivated to simplify our life at home. We already miss the island dearly and look forward to coming back sometime soon! Thank you for everything, Alexis!

Super cosy, rustic cabin with super hospitable host who welcomed us after our arraival. Located right in the middle of the Island with 10 minutes away from beaches, bays and restaurants, right at the base of fantastic hike to to top of the mountain with amazing view of Islands, ocean and passing ferries. If I can use a statement "underpromise" and "overdeliver" it wouldn't be an exaggeration. Fresh eggs in the refrigerator for breakfast with greens waiting for us with assortment of teas and coffee. When we inquire about kayak rental places, she offered us her own kayak and took us to the bay where is was, and pick us after we were done (we were on bicycling trip- no vehicle). We even get a tour of her farm with beautiful flower, herb and vegetable gardens. Definitely will recommend Michele and her place, and can't wait to be back.

The place is great, in a farm (eggs and apple juice for breakfast were delicious), next to a regional park with hiking trails and great view. The hosts are friendly and happy to chat with you. I recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay in this adorable centrally-located cabin on Mayne. It was very quiet and well-stocked. We enjoyed the throw-back VHS collection and the daily visits from the chickens and dogs! Michele greeted us on our arrival and provided us with fresh farm eggs and strawberries from the garden. Her beautiful property backs onto a park with many hiking trails. I would not hesitate to book again with Michele in the future!

The Raylia Cottage is a small piece of heaven on Mayne Island. The surrounding gardens and adjacent park make for a private, peaceful, setting with only the sound of wind chimes and the occasional chicken cluck to break the silence. Michele is awesome. She knows the area, knows the community, and is a thoughtful, excellent host. She gave us fresh eggs, bread, and this little spice mix that made the morning scramble incredible. Her dogs welcomed us and we felt right at home with the extensive VCR collection and the old Magnavox. AirBnB has a lot of choices, but this is a very special place.

We really enjoyed our stay at raylia cottage!! The property was lovely and the cottage was cozy, clean and had all the amenities needed. We plan to return :)

We had a wonderful stay at Michele's beautiful, cosy and private cottage located in her lovely farm at the start of Mount Parke trails. We could not have asked for more, everything was perfect. Thank you for having us, see you soon!

The Raylia Cottage is truly a slice of heaven. The property itself is so beautiful, and the cottage is so wonderful and cozy. Michele and her family were great. The family of 4 golden retrievers was an added bonus! Fresh eggs in the morning for breakfast just added to the wonderful experience. Would recommend the cottage to anyone!

We really enjoyed the very cute cottage and the peaceful surroundings. Very easy to get to the store and beach by bike.

We loved our stay in Bennett Bay! Khai and Steve were extremely accommodating and always accessible when we had questions or needed any help. They gave us great recommendations for things to see and do during our visit. Their home is beautiful and included everything we needed for a peaceful getaway on the island. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back in the future!

Our stay at Khai and Steve's place was amazing! They provided everything imaginable to have a comfortable stay. When they found out we were traveling with babies they went out of their way to make sure there were appropriately sized life jackets available for them, as well as a high chair and baby bath. So kind and thoughtful! They have a really beautiful place, very clean and comfortable. Perfect space for two couples or a small family. We loved the decor - think IKEA showroom mixed with comfy island spa oasis. Loved the wood accents and pops of bright colours. The amenities available were phenomenal, they really thought of everything and the little touches made Khai & Steve's place feel like home. It was also very convenient that they have outdoor equipment available for rent! Can't thank Khai and Steve enough for a great weekend! We'd love to come back again someday!

Great location, just minutes from Bennett Bay. V friendly hosts. Spotless apartment. Recommended.

We had a great stay at Khai and Steve's. Great location within walking distance to Bennett Bay beach. Quiet, peaceful, and well equipped accommodations. Had everything you need. For our child they provided a high chair which was very helpful. Great for families. Would go back again.

The space was beautiful and Khai and Steve were very helpful.

Khai and Steeve are great hosts who live in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. They just renovated their basement which is lovely, confortable and very well equiped both for kids and adults (games, DVD, kitchenware, hammocks,...) We had the most pleasant stay and highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and explore the island.

The cob home was absolutely delightful to stay in. The photos of the farm don't do it full justice; the scenery was beautiful. The wood-burning fire made the inside of the cob quite cozy. It came with some added perks: some fresh bread, jam and fruits picked from the farm (excellent tomatoes). Also, Shanti and Don were exceptionally kind! I injured my toe while there and Shanti helped patch me up and even gave my girlfriend and I a ride to their local grocery store to save me from walking on it. We had a great time while there and would definitely return!

A magic trip to a magic place. A great place to experience how is it to live in a natural building kind of place. I definitely recommend this experience and to visit the island itself. Shanti and Don were wonderful hosts and directed me to the best hike in the island. I really enjoyed my stay there. Ezra

This cob house is truly a work of art! Every surface has unique charm and we enjoyed discovering all the sculptures placed throughout. It's a very inspirational and calm environment. Not to mention Shanti is an amazing host. She made sure there was a roaring fire when we arrived and supplied lots of extra wood and slippers too! We definitely plan on coming back in the future as this house is a very special gem on Mayne Island.

Shanti and Don's little cobb was an absolute dream -- the location is lovely (easy to get to a great swimming beach, amazing views of the pastures, remote but not faraway from anything on the island) and the cabin itself is just so beautiful. It was such a relaxing place to spend the weekend and a perfect retreat. Thank you!!

Love it! The hosts go above and beyond! A stay at the Cobb house is well worth a visit to the island!!

We rented this home for a friend visiting us on Mayne - his review follows: I am a chef in a very busy high end restaurant and arrived at on Mayne Island feeling exhausted and in need of a good rest. From the minute you set foot on the farm you realize you have taken a step back in time to a happier, healthier, more gentle place. The setting is absolutely gorgeous - the rolling farm land, antique barn wood buildings, old time machinery, organic garden, delicious swimming pond and warm and welcoming hosts Don and Shanti Mcdougall weave together into a tapestry of calming restorative relaxation. Even after working in many places in the world, I have never really experienced anything quite like it. The "Cob house" is really a sumptuous one bedroom Cob home complete with full kitchen, dining area and living area. The outdoor toilet and shower are fabulous and fun - think poo with a view! The photos they have on the site do not do the place justice at all. There is an energy on Mayne Island in general & at Deacon Vale Farm in particular that is calming & life giving. The stillness and quiet serve to percolate life force back into your body. If you do take the opportunity stay at this location I am sure you will enjoy it immensely and depart wonderfully rested - just as I did. Thank you Don and Shanti for a lovely stay! Julien

Great location, Shanti was a great host. My husband and I would go back in a heartbeat!

It would be difficult to imagine a more idyllic setting for a few days. Utter silence apart from the sounds of animals, birds and passing ferries. Quite delightful. The house itself offers a one-off experience. Artistically and beautifully created. It felt a privilege to stay there.

Laura and Lance were divine hosts-- experts in facilitating a relaxing and blissful two-night getaway on a charming island. They were informative, helpful, kind, and went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed ourselves-- even taking us out on the boat for an absolutely incredible tour of the Bell Chain Islands and surrounding areas. They even set crab traps for us, showed us how to catch, pull in and prepare our delicious haul-- which was such a highlight! The cabin was quaint-- we so enjoyed staying toasty by the fire, and the bed in the loft was comfortable and cozy. The place is exactly as pictured, with access to an outdoor fire pit, BBQ, and sauna. I really can't say enough... our two short nights on this magical island just weren't enough! We'll be back!

Raven's Ridge was a beautiful, cozy little cabin that suited our desire for seclusion and serenity. The hosts were fantastic - very friendly and accommodating - and the big property with its eco-efficiencies were much appreciated. Thank you Laura and Les for a lovely stay!

Laura and Lance are a delight! Our whole experience was better than we imagined because of their hospitality, story telling, and generosity. They made great recommendations, showed us around their incredible property, answered all of our questions, (they've built everything), and took us out on the boat! I don't want to set the standards too high, but let's just say we saved a lot of money and had an incredible experience on the water. If you want to learn what it is to live on the island, how to thrive on the island, then this is it. My wife and I love to learn, and Laura and Lance were willing to share. The house is spotless too. Spacious. Unique. Nice large kitchen. Comfy bed. Only positive surprises. The hosts made the experience for us. And helped us to get an authentic understanding of the island in a short amount of time. Highly recommended. Well worth the trip. Thank you Lance and Laura!

Our stay was amazing! My fiancé and I went for my birthday last week and it was such a fantastic stay. The cottage is lovely, not to mention the property it lies on. Lance and Laura were more then welcoming and seemed very happy to show off the beautiful island they live on. We'll definitely be going back!

The place is beautiful and Laura is very welcoming and helpful.

Laura and Lance are awesome, easy going, generous and nice people. Inke is the best dog in the world:-) The place is very quiet - what a treat We had a great time in their lovely cottage and we will be back for sure!

Simply delightful spot with very lovely and talented hosts and dog. Surrounded by trails and full of baby deer! Lances Carvings are a sight to behold.

Laura's cottage is perfect. Very clean and comfortable and the property is beautiful... a short walk to the water and surrounded by beautiful forest and nature. We love cooking breakfast on the wood stove! Laura is a wonderful host who made us feel very welcome! We will definitely come back for another stay.

We enjoyed a clean and quiet home away from home.

The place was immaculately clean and the pictures don't do it justice! It is cute, there are hiking trails and a farm stand right in ur backyard. The host is friendly and sweet! It is perfect for a couple with two kids or a romantic couples vacation. Or even four friends:) If ur looking for a quint,cozy, cute Air B & B vacation. This is it:)

A secluded, quiet cottage in the woods. Very private from the main house and anyone else. Except for the cute deer. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing your own meals. Very clean and cozy.

The house is a perfect little cottage settled just into the woods. I couldn't have picked a more peaceful location for our relaxing vacation. We found it a perfect fit for our family- a couple with two young kids and a baby. The loft bedroom is a fun detail and had plenty of room for the playpen they provided. The other room was perfect for two kids and had a substantial door so we could stay up and chat in the living room or front porch. Ian was accessible and made check in and out very easy. There were plenty of child friendly things: a kitchen booster seat, baby gates, playpen, toys, plastic cups. And adult things: a great library, freshly ground coffee, coffee maker and wine glasses. All topped off by the deer roaming through the yard, the hiking trails next door, and plenty of peace and quiet.

This cabin was a perfect, peaceful getaway and we really enjoyed ourselves. Ian and Heather were gracious enough to lend us bikes when we had to leave ours in Vancouver, and even offered us rides to and from the ferry terminal. The cabin is very homey and inviting--needless to say, we hope to return for another long weekend!

Lovely little place, even nicer than the pictures. Excellent hosts, so friendly and helpful. They gave us rides to and from the ferry, provided great information about the island, things to see and do, and even the history of the area. The place was wonderful, with a well stocked kitchen. Look forward to visiting again soon!

Ian and Heather were gracious hosts and their beautiful and secluded cabin in the woods is a perfect getaway on Mayne Island. The kitchen is well stocked and there are lots of lovely deer that come and visit the property. I particularly enjoyed the skylight on the front porch. Highly tec

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay here on Mayne Island. Our host Ian was more than gracious and picked up us from the ferry dock and drove us around to our multiple destinations since it's difficult to navigate the island without a car or bike. We really appreciated the locals as the island has a hospitable and friendly community! The cabin was nestled on acreage in the woods and was a very cozy and quiet place to retreat to and had everything you could possibly want or need to be comfortable. The wood stove was a nice added feature and the bed upstairs in the loft made for a very restful sleep. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return one day!

The cottage is beautiful, spacious and has a great layout. It is walking distance to stores and the main part of the community. Sunset views were gorgeous down at the mariners dock and Scooter rentals were a fun way to see the whole island. Bedrooms can get a little warm so a good idea to bring a fan.

The location is ideal for Mayne Island, it is right in the main village area. If you go up the street you can cut through to the back of The Groove restaurant, which is very convenient, and down the street is the main farmer's market and the back of the grocery store and bakery. Only a few minutes to the brewery and a quick bike or drive to the ferry. The property is private and quiet and has a large back yard where you can enjoy sitting or games. The house is well laid out with a nice living room and dining room near the kitchen and all bedrooms upstairs. Having two bathrooms (toilets) is a must with a large group but one has a shower/bath and no curtain so you can't really use the shower. We never met the owners as they were off island, but they were very easy to communicate with and we had no issues with our stay. Our group enjoyed their time there and would definitely come back again.

Great location & house. Fantastic host with super quick responses. Highly recommend

What a beautiful home on Mayne Island. Highly recommend!! Robert was very easy and quick to communicate with and the home was so beautiful. Mayne island is such a treat hope to come back some day soon!

Great spot

Beautiful house. Clean and comfortable bed. Great location, right by the water with views of the ferry docks. Greg gave great advice about hikes and places to visit on Mayne Island and Dorothy's bread, jam and granola were a very nice treat.

We enjoyed an incredibly relaxing weekend at Morningstone. Dorothy and Greg are such gracious hosts. Our room was beautiful and comfortable and the balcony overlooking the ocean was a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee and a glass of wine in the evening. The room was stocked with freshly baked bread, local berries and delicious homemade jams - such a treat! We really appreciated being able to use their tandem kayaks and went out on two kayaking trips which was so much fun. Morningstone is a short drive to the main strip that features a great restaurant - The Groove, a grocery store, bakery and various other cute shops. I highly recommend this B&B!

Dorothy and Greg are sincerely kind hosts and will take to heart any concerns you may have to make your stay, short or long, the best it can be. We are already thinking of coming back again this summer!

I planned a surprise visit for my dad to Mayne Island and I saw Dorothy's place was a rare find, and available. I fell sick the night before I arrived, however, Dorothy and Greg were excellent hosts, and made me feel comfortable nevertheless. I went there with no expectations or preparations, and I was taken aback by how serene, tranquil and comfortable Dorothy & Greg's place was. It is conveniently located close to the ferry terminal, and a short drive away from the seaplane dock (which was my preferred mode of travel). The Japanese Gardens are a short stroll away. Dorothy makes some really delicious homemade jam that pairs so well with her fresh baked bread. You might also want to try her frittatas for breakfast. I went kayaking with my dad in their 2-person kayak, and that was a memorable experience for my father and I. The views around there are amazing, and you're probably going to see some seals if you're kayaking. I highly recommend staying with them!

Dorothy and Greg were excellent hosts. Loved the warm baked bread with jam. The house and room were stellar, just gorgeous, as were the location and view.

I had a wonderful stay at the Morningstone. When I arrived, I was stressed and tired from a business trip. Both Dorothy and Greg welcomed me smiling and even offered a lift to town or a plate of their dinner since I didn't have a car nor any food with me. I preferred staying in because the room, the house, garden and small beach was so beautiful. The homemade bread and especially the homemade jams were delicious. Greg and Dorothy were great hosts, always there to help, make everything even more pleasant or just to chat - but not hovering at all. The room is just as described, very clean, spacious and beautiful- the best thing about it is - of course - the view from the balcony. Thank you for everything. Theresa

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Mayne Island thanks to our gracious hosts Dorothy and Greg. Staying at this beautiful craftsman home was exactly the getaway we were looking for.

Dorothy and Greg made our first visit to Mayne Island very enjoyable. We biked over from Ladner for our 12th anniversary and they were very accommodating and welcoming, helping us out whenever they could. There home is beautiful and amazing. We definitely recommend Morningstone on Mayne Island for anyone wanting a romantic getaway.

Sonnen and Ross were very easy to communicate with. The cozy cabin was very spacious for our group of four. It was very clean, comfortable and the location was ideal. Thank you for having us.

Sonnen and Ross have a fantastic place tucked into the lush mossy trees. We had a great stay warmed by the fire place. They provided all the amenities we could need. The location was perfect for our group, a short trip from the ferry and Miners Bay and a frisbee golf course just around the corner! Thanks for sharing you space!

The cabin was wonderful, the description is as we found it. Even though you're not fully secluded, it is nice and quiet and the neighbours are very friendly (we got to meet all but one). Check in was easy and we entered into a warm, clean, and very bright airy cabin. We were two families of 3 and 4 people and we never felt crammed. The kitchen comes with everything you need for mealtime and the bbq was new and clean. It was peaceful and quiet, just the type of location we were looking for with both of our families working in busy trauma hospitals on the mainland. Sonnen and Ross were great and easy to communicate and work with, the kids had a wonderful time and were able to just be free to run around, and it was a perfect getaway from everyday life without having to travel far out of town.

This cozy cabin was the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday getaway! The location is ideal as we arrived on the island by foot and the cabin is a 15 minute walk from the ferry. The cabin is very clean and well stocked with kitchen essentials, firewood, towels, and blankets. I loved waking up in the morning surrounded by lush forest and quiet. We took the bikes out to the lighthouse, which is a great spot for a picnic. We also walked to the Farm Gate store, which has delicious sandwiches, soup, and some local groceries. Sonnen was very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions. If you are staying here over the holidays, be sure to check out the light display at the Japanese Memorial Garden near Dinner Bay. Thank you Sonnen and Ross for sharing your sweet little cabin!

Sonnen and Ross's cabin was exactly what we wanted! It was bright, clean, cute and well-stocked (they even left a bottle of Prosecco for us for New Year's Eve). They were great about communicating with us, texting to make sure we got in ok and then being very responsive when we had questions - even when the issue was beyond their control (when the power went out on the whole island for a few hours due to windstorms).

Sonnen and Ross's cabin was absolutely perfect! We stayed a week and had a few friends join us for the weekend. The cabin was stocked with the essentials, lots of comfy couches, true to the pictures in the listing. They provided so much information that allowed us to really take advantage of Mayne Island and made our travel stress free. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone!

Had a lovely weekend. Location was great, the house is inviting and comfortable. We would stay there again for sure! We love Mayne Island!

We Stayed at Sonnen & Ross's place for the weekend. It was lovely. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean. Beds were clean and comfortable. House was warm with the wood burning fireplace! Sonnen has been great with communicating and returning messages. Totally recommend this place for your visit to Mayne Island.

It was so nice to talk with Cheryl and on the ferry to Mayne Island. Interesting how different things are in our own countries regarding healthcare and politics. We loved the guesthouse! Such a nice view, comfy beds and a convenient location. Cheryl is a great host and you'll really like her guesthouse. Hope to come back in the future and stay longer. Thanks for everything! Rocky & Tim

Cheryl and Scott provide a lovely cottage oasis with everything you could need for an island getaway. They are attentive hosts who go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend this wonderful little cabin. It worked for two adults and one 12 year old girl and we are in one night on the deck and walked to a great local restaurant the other night.

The Felix Jack guest house is beautiful and Cheryl was a fantastic host. We had a wonderful time on Mayne Island. First of all the house is located a few minutes walk from the tiny and charming town of Miners bay where you have a couple of grocery stores, restaurants and other stores. It is a 10 minute walk from Mount Parke regional park, and is otherwise right in the centre of the island. The cottage itself is great! It is perched on a hillside surrounded by trees and has a corner view of the water where you can watch the ferries go by. It is a single room and a separate washroom that has been very thoughtfully designed. It has everything you need in practical terms with the space being very well laid out. At the same time the house is full of little details and clever decorations in every corner. It has a nice balance of rustic yet very comfortable feel. And then it was all very clean and everything from the towels to the pans are in mint condition. The view and the cottage are both even nicer once you are there than what it seems like in the photos! On top of all this, Cheryl was such a great host. Although we were planning to walk from the ferry, she gave us a ride there and back and the end our trip. She would quickly answer any questions we had and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay in Mayne Island. Thanks!

This rental is an absolute gem. We were warmly greeted by our hosts with fresh muffins and corn on the cob in the fridge. The guesthouse is in a very private location and exceptionally quiet. We could hear the birds sing! We had everything we needed and it was spotless. The kitchen was really well organized and included delicious fresh ground coffee. The beds and linens were very comfortable and my allergy to down was graciously accommodated. There was a great selection of movies so after exploring Mayne we came back to quality down time. It's a small space so it's perfect for a romantic getaway or a solo trip. It's close to all the amenities and most importantly to The Groove, a fabulous affordable restaurant. All in all, we would return to the Felix Jack Guesthouse in a heartbeat!

Such an awesome experience staying here! Cheryl and Scott we're nothing short of fantastic. Would happily stay here again and are already planning on it!

We had an awesome time at the Felix Jack Guesthouse! Cheryl was warm and welcoming, made sure we were comfortable, and helped us in our exploration of the island by answering all our questions and sharing her knowledge. The cottage is comfortable, very well stocked, and private. It's full of gorgeous flooring, furnishings and art - and has a beautiful view of the treetops and ocean beyond. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the sunset and ferries crossing in the evening, and appreciated being within walking distance to the best restaurant in town. The cherry on top was Bella, Cheryl's beautifully behaved dog who was willing to share her porcupine stuffy with us. We felt right at home, thanks for a wonderful stay!

Sweet little hideaway on beautiful Mayne Island! Sit and stare at the view for hours....love the beach theme decor. Thanks for having me, Doug

Mayne Island is so worth the trip! There were some great places to eat and so many beaches and inlets to explore! Christie-Anna's place is the perfect place to stay while you're there as well. The room was so cozy, the bathroom had everything you needed, the internet is fast and the kitchen had everything you could need to make anything! I had a very peaceful stay which was just what I was looking for.

The Host: Christie was communicative, informative, and such a friendly person who took good care of us. We felt totally comfortable dealing with her and rest of the family. She answered all our questions and provided all the info we asked for prior to reservation in timely manner, she was willing to do whatever needed to make us happy and comfortable, such a sweet person. The Room: - Internet speed was reliable, we could stream and upload pics without any problems. - Room and bed were clean and comfortable. - Bathroom was clean and everything functioning as expected. - The room has separate entrance and that made us comfortable. - The room has access to private kitchen which we liked a lot, and it is well equipped. The placeis 10 mins walking from Bennet Beach, probably the best beach on Island, and close to 2 hiking trials. Also it is close to Mayne Island Bristo which stays open till 8pm. Mayne Island is definitely recommended to spend some peaceful and mindful time, also this host is highly recommended. We enjoyed out time there and we ourselves coming back to same host.

Great accommodation on a unique island. Highly recommended.

Christie-Anna's place was just what the doctor ordered! Far enough away near a river to feel like a forest yet nestled between the wonderful towns of Duncan and Lake Cowichan. The cabin is very clean with large windows that offers clear views into the surrounding forest and wonderful garden. I liked the compost toilet so much that I am looking into one for my retirement place.

This guest room has a full stocked kitchen and DVD / VHS collection so no need for Netflix. You could buy food at the True Value foods and cook all meals here. The kitchen is not connected to the Bedroom but that was OK with us. This bed room is connected to the bathroom (shower no bathtub). The local roads also have cute deers around so animal sightseeing is possible. It is walking distance (10-15 mins) to Bennett Bay. A bit further from the ferry though. Bennett Bay is cute for a sunset view for drinks/food at Bennett Bay Bistro (at the Bennett bay Resort). Note: We didn't have a car so we did the car share, local bus and hitch-hiked around the island. Very friendly people and they were all kind to us Overall - great guest room for people on a budget and also family friendly! Christie-Anna was a great host!

The kitchen was well stocked with all the stuffs. The host and the family was very helpful and we felt comfortable with our baby walking around the place. The unit is set in a village atmosphere; so everything is quiet and that gave us a stress-free environment for which we planned this trip.

I enjoyed my stay at Christie-Anna's place. She greeted me when I arrived and showed me my room and the shared kitchen. The room has its own separate entrance and is close to the spacious kitchen. The place is a bit far in the woods if you don't have a vehicle. Christie-Anna offered me a ride to the ferry if I hadn't brought my motorcycle.

Jacquie is the best host ever! We had trouble to find the cottage after dark and Jacquie came out and led the way for us. The cottage is just amazing! We found everything we need here and enjoyed the BBQ and hot tub. The cottage is super clean and quiet. Recommend to people who want to relax and get close to nature.

This was our first trip to Mayne Island, and this is a lovely little cottage! Jacquie and Carsten were friendly hosts. We picked a rainy weekend in November to stay, but there was so much light in the cabin, and the hot tub was a favourite! We also enjoyed the morning visits from two friendly horses. We went on some nice drives around Mayne Island, and walks through the Japanese Garden across the road, and other trails--the cottage is in the perfect place, and easy to get to from the ferries. This is a beautiful place to stay, and we will definitely be back! Thank you very much, Jacquie and Carsten!

Very comfortable cottage on wooded property with a lovely hot tub. Beautiful views from the loft and main rooms.

This place is a true airbnb gem. It is by far the best place we have stayed, the view is incredible and Mayne Island itself is awesome. So much hiking and nature to be enjoyed and beaches and parks as well. The hot tub is awesome and the trees around it are incredible including at least two epic arbutus that are worth the visit alone.

Our stay at Dinner Bay Private Cottage was amazing! The cottage is located in a very quiet part of Mayne Island and is close to a park with a playground for kids, putting green, frisbee golf and the Japanese gardens. The view from the cottage is beautiful and the hot tub was definitely an added bonus! The place was clean and spacious and very centrally located. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a getaway to Mayne Island! Jacquie & Carsten were super hosts!

We loved everything about our visit here ~ Jacquie's warm welcome, the beauty of the house and its woodland surroundings, the welcome by Diamond the dog and the horses, and the comfort of the space and all the amenities (the hammocks were just lovely in the sunshine with a book). Hope to visit again!

Perfect cottage for an extremely relaxing break - just as described with no surprises apart from how amazingly addictive it is to hang out on the deck in hammocks all day! We (my husband, son and I) fell in love with Mayne Island and especially Jacquie's cottage. My husband cycled a bit around the island, my son checked out all the hammocks, and I found a comfy spot to finish up on some work. In between, we swam, walked to Dinner Bay Park and the Japanese Gardens, ate at The Groove Kitchen, hot tubbed and walked the dog. Perfect!

We had an amazing stay at Jacquie's cabin! The space is full of natural light with large windows and french doors that give you the feeling of being in a tree house. All the rooms are well equipped and very clean. We were especially grateful that it is pet friendly:) The icing on the cake is the hot tub, it's very private and has a fantastic view of the water and islands. It's truly magic! Jacquie is a very kind and attentive host, making sure that we had the best stay possible. I couldn't recommend her place more!

Comfy cozy place and all the amenities you'll need for a beautiful stay on Mayne Isl. Awesome location too!!

Khai & Steve's place is absolutely beautiful! The place was surprisingly better than the photos and we were also pleasantly surprised that the bathroom has just been renovated and looks great! The mention of sound proofing is also very accurate; we rarely heard them even though they were home. The atmosphere of the whole place is very cozy and warm (fireplace included). They provided everything someone would need to have a comfortable stay including a large selection of movies that we enjoyed ourselves and a cute snack bar ran by there son. The location was also a highlight as it is close to one of the best beaches on Mayne and a tasty restaurant that's only 3 minutes away! You'll enjoy yourselves here!

I will be staying at Khai & Steve's place throughout the fall months for a practicum on Mayne Island. They have been very welcoming and accommodating. The suite is charming, cozy, and clean. I feel very comfortable there. I would happily recommend it to anyone.

Our 2-day stay at Khai and Steve's was super relaxing and enjoyable. The one bedroom suite lacks nothing, is in a quiet cup-de-sac, but close to the Mayne Island Inn and the beach at Bennett Bay. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly and easy to communicate with. Their son Lliam does his part to greet the guests and offer his radiant smile!

Khai is very friendly and helpful, goes above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable, have everything thing we need, and know about all the great places to visit on Mayne Island. The apartment is really beautiful and has everything needed for a great stay, a fully equipped kitchen, lots of games to play, etc. Our only regret is we wish we had stayed longer.

What a fantastic stay! Our hosts were super friendly and accommodating for us all. Our accommodation were excellent, better then home, and the attention to detail was beyond what we would receive anywhere else. Our young daughter loved the yard and especially the trampoline. The rooms were exceptionally clean and tidy and completely stock with all the necessaries, as well as, very nicely appointed making like you're staying with friends and family and completely enjoyable and stress and worry free. Thank you.

Lovely, comfortable, cozy suite. A minute's walk from The Bistro - a great place for lunch on the patio overlooking Bennet Bay. Khai and Steve have thought of everything - we didn't have a chance to meet Steve, but I'm sure he is as warm and welcoming as Khai.

Awesome place. Steve and Khai were great hosts, and their place was cozy and beautiful. Just a short stroll to Bennett Bay where we rented their kayaks for a few hours through beautifully calm and secluded water. The bioluminence at night was amazing by the bay! Never seen anything so magical! Hope to come again one day!

Wow. That is one word to describe the property. I and my family stayed for 5 peaceful nights on Mayne Island, thanks to the great surroundings provided by Mr Peter Lane. The place was clean and very well appointed with every amenity that you could need for a short or long stay. The keyless entry was perfect for us, so each person could come and go as they pleased. The entertainment systems were in perfect working order and very much up to date. All the beds were very comfortable and had the advantage of the electric heat in each bedroom, which meant that everyone could be nice and snuggled in at the perfect temperature. There are water issues on the island due to supply, and it is advised to conserve water. We loved each of the showers, and my whole family is not really one to take large baths so we didn't find it an issue at all, to be mindful of water use. The upstairs deck gave a bit more ocean view and defiantly provided another nice sitting spot out of the rain. I felt the price of 4 bedrooms with ocean views was great. My kids(6 and 4) loved the playhouse and teeter-totter as well as watching the ferries go by at dinner time from any one of the two decks. There is a horseshoe pit and bocce set to use, and a snack supply basket that I used to keep the kids entertained in the playhouse was super fun. It was close enough (1.6 km)to the Village Bakery that my father was able to go and walk down and swap tales in the morning with all the local folks. You could walk to get fresh eggs from the farmers nearby, or for a pint in the pub at Miners Bay. My wife went to yoga at the Community Centre that was less then five minutes away. At dusk every night, deer would walk down the hill and across the property to feed. It was fun to watch them. The BBQ was clean and we used it every night to cook on. Due to the weather being rather wet, we loved the wood burning stove. It was idyllic to sit with a book and have the warm glow of the fire. Pure relaxation.(URL HIDDEN)have used airbnb 3 times, and this was by far the best! Thanks so much for a great place.

Our group of 7 had a great May Long weekend on Mayne Island. The house was centrally located, so getting around by foot/bike/car was quite easy. The large deck was perfect for sunny lazy naps and the fire pit was amazing for night time marshmallow smores. The house was super spacious with 4 comfortable rooms and many fun things to keep us occupied (e.g, pool table, horse shoe, bocce, board games). Peter was a great host and very responsive. Thanks for accommodating our late check out. This place is on my list of places to return.

All I can say is wow! Peter and Janice Lanes house on Mayne Island made our anual trip with three daughters much more enjoyable. An outstanding house in a peaceful setting, what more could one ask for? All amenities are provided for, one does not really need to bring anything other than groceries. we/ hope to return next year!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at chris and fahreen's. The place was even larger than the pictures showed -- a bright and spacious modern cottage with big windows facing the forest and orchard. There were six of us including two toddlers. Our two toddlers loved swinging in the hammock and playing with the many toys around the house. They also got into the chalk on the deck. Whoops. Harder to clean off of a deck than you might think:). Anyhow we loved our time there and would easily recommend the place to anyone and stay there again. A perfect place to sit back, cook nice food and chillax.

We are a family of 4 with two little ones under 5 and we had such an amazing 5 days on mayne Island. The cabin is clean and so very comfortable. It was rustic in all the right ways but still had all the amenities you could ask for. Chris and Farheen were amazing with their communication - Always replied very quickly to any questions we had. If you want an amazing vacation that involving mornings playing in ocean tidal pools (just 1.5 blocks away) sunny afternoons on patios, playing in the woods searching for gnomes, ferries and owls and evenings in warm and cozy cabin having a glass of wine around a fire than this is the cabin for you. We loved, It was perfect for our family and we will be booking again.

LOVE this cabin! Was an ideal getaway with toys for the kids, a fabulous swing, and a cosy fire etc etc.

Chris & Farheen were very helpful and welcoming. Their home is beautiful, peaceful and the environment is serene. It's a great getaway location!

What an incredible retreat!! We visited for 3 days with our toddler and had such an amazing time. The house is beautiful - airy, minimal and elegant. Everything we needed was at our fingertips - the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies, the patio was spacious and we used the BBQ for almost every meal. It was very hot during our visit (30 C) and the ceiling fan kept the whole place breezy and comfortable. It was such a pleasure visiting a home that was set up for kids to be comfortable, as well. Our daughter loved reading the kids' books and playing on the patio swing. It was so nice to have a booster chair at the cottage, too (less gear to pack along)! We felt so at home and are looking forward to another visit - Mayne Island is gorgeous and there are tons of great outdoor activities to enjoy. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We had a very enjoyable time at this cabin. Farheen was very easy to deal with, and was quick to get back to emails. The place itself is clean, comfortable, and well equipped with most of what you need to be comfortable. We brought our 3 year old with us and we're happy to find a kids room stocked with toys. All in all at great experience, and we hope to come back soon.

Perfect weekend getaway. Very stylish cabin. Accommodations and surroundings are amazing, while at the same time making you feel at home away from home. Highly recommended!

Very nice design, comfortably sleeps 4 or more, very functional kitchen with all the pots you'd ever need, great living room. Communication with Farheen was easy, bringing water was not much of a hassle at all. This cabin feels like a private escape on Mayne Island!!
