Such a great place for a get away - to relax, have fun and enjoy nature.
Pros: This is the second time I have stayed here and again I enjoyed the quiet, charming atmosphere. The cottage was warm and cosy when we arrived and staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. The location is excellent with hiking paths close by and shops only five minutes away.
Cons: The bathroom, while clean and well organized is showing it's age. However this didn't affect our enjoyment of the cottage.

Good stay in a beautiful, quiet setting. Already planning my return.
Pros: Beautiful setting, surrounded by rainforest. Weather was decent for March on the PNW. Ferry horns would pull me to the main window during the daytime and in the evenings to get a glimpse of ferries passing by. If I wanted an unimpeded view, there were several lookouts within easy walk, and one within a stiff but rewarding climb that overlooked the Active Pass exit, the islands, and down the channel towards Swartz Bay, Vancouver Island. Very quiet, except for birdsong, ferries, and the odd float plane. Cabin had the amenities I needed, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, couch, writing table. Was warm enough, even in March, once I mastered the heating system. Great writing spot for my needs. Friendly islanders rescued me from walking martyrdom on my trek from Sturdies Bay up to Driftwood, and staff went above and beyond when the cold I thought I'd shaken off came back.
Cons: Not much to do with the property. I had overestimated my ability to get around on foot, and next time am planning on bringing at least an ebike with me (and somewhat less luggage), as options for groceries nearby are limited and I was out of season for local rentals.

Perfect place for a family trip on Galiano island.
Pros: Spotless cottage with comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, hot shower, fireplace, high-speed wifi, and beautiful area. It was a perfect place for a great family short vacation.

We had a great stay. The space was great for the 2 of us on a very cold and wet Gulf Island getaway.
Pros: Being surrounded by nature and carefully curated artwork in the gardens surrounding our cabin was a lovely experience. When we had questions our host was quick to reply with helpful information. Driftwood Village was a great home base from which we could explore the rest of the Island.
Cons: We assumed there would be more electrical outlets to recharge our numerous devices. We assumed there'd be an oven in the kitchenette. No big deal. We were able to charge our devices and heat up food.

Our Amazing New Year Family get away
Pros: Excellent location, amazing view from our cottage, very good customer service (I was in contact with the host all the time) super clean! We loved small details in the property.
