Beautiful winter getaway
We had a wonderful time in your cozy cabin overlooking the Salish Sea during the stormy season. The cabin had everything we needed for a fun winter getaway, puzzles, DVDs, a comfortable bed, and a fully stocked kitchen.

Quiet Getaway
Had a great visit to Texada, this was a wonderful cabin that had everything we needed. The bay has large tide movements which meant the kids had a blast exploring and swimming during low tide. Would return!

Relaxing Island Vacation
The cottage was very comfortable with a beautiful view overlooking Gilles Bay, which we enjoyed during our stay. Several nice rocky beaches to relax and explore during the week with Shelter Point, Glass Beach and Single Beach being our favourites. The museum is worth a visit and make sure to go to the Sunday Farmer's Market to pick up one of Gale's pies before they sell out! Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable week at the cottage.
