Ross and Ruthanne were wonderful. Breakfast was perfect. Grounds were so beautiful
Loved the balcony. Last night relaxing, morning coffee ( thank u Ross) and breakfast on the balcony… all perfect. Relaxing.
Only thing to make it extraordinary would be like a wine tasting and sweets or something in the evening to enjoy outside, on balcony etc??!!
Thank u again for a wonderful visit
We have stayed here several times. The hosts are gracious, the property is lovely and the accommodations are very comfortable. Wonderful setting and great breakfast
It was a beautiful and serene location with a view of the water. Lovely flowers and seating areas. Breakfast was great and hosts were friendly. Thank you for a nice stay. Wish we could have stayed longer.
It felt like a privilege to stay the night. The hosts made me feel like family, and the property was surrounded by beautiful gardens that provided a wonderful view. Situated on a quiet street but close to the ferry terminal made it very convenient and relaxing.
Wonderful hospitality, gracious hosts and beautiful setting. Lovely breakfast on the patio and gorgeous gardens. This is our third stay and we would happily return.
Was a very nice place. Room was clean and comfortable. Had plenty of places both inside and outside to sit and relax, though I didn't make use of any outside places due to allergies. Breakfast wasn't overly large, which I appreciated as someone that doesn't always eat breakfast to begin with. They were even kind enough to give me breakfast slightly earlier than their usual time frame so I could make my early boat and still enjoy the food.
I loved how warm and welcoming the hosts are. The surrounding gardens are spectacular, while the views are amazing. The home's private and personalized atmosphere creates a perfect place to rest and relax in. Spacious with cozy nooks with lots of attention to details. A place one will look forward to returning to. So very lovely.
The owners and hosts, Ruthann & Ross, are the Best that we've ever had in all our travels. They built this beautiful house from the ground up, and are sharing their love of home, family, friendship, and all that Canada represents. We were so fortunate to share and experience the Island hospitality with them. We chose wisely, and it was a fabulous experience thanks to them.
Ross greeted us right away and showed us to our cottage. Cute little place in a quiet area with a beautiful view and gardens. Ross was personable and friendly, walking us through the cottage and showing us where everything was. It was a great beginning to our stay!
