The cabin is homey and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. It's clean and fresh with everything you need for some peace and quiet. Ken was a welcoming host on arrival, with advice on hiking trails in the area and places of interest to see. After the initial meeting I kept to myself and didn't see him again, though he made it clear that he was available if anything was needed. Excellent stay.

Very quiet, fell asleep listening to crickets in the distance. Ken's property is so big it feels like a cabin in the middle of a forest. It had everything we needed to make our own meals and and was nice to come to after an afternoon of kayaking. Would stay again.

Cozy little cabin with green all around, felt very private. Not quite two separate rooms as there is a pass through between rooms and the kitchen is sort of in the bedroom. But what can you expect on Cortes! Island funky, but in a good way.

Awesome stay. The write up was extremely accurate. Loved our stay here.

Ken's quaint cottage was the perfect getaway for my partner and I. Ken was more than accommodating and went out of his way to let us use his boat to explore the surrounding islands of Cortes. Lovely location of cottage. I felt like I was in a beautiful log cabin in the middle of the forest. There is a really neat tree house that Ken is building that you can check out too!

A quiet secluded place to get away from the hustle and bustle with 360 degree evergreen.

Awesome plac, very cool dogs

Cortes is a remarkable place and the joy of it is the people and the magic and hague lake.. it is the coop and the proximity of hollyhock and the fact that wherever you turn there are people there is the possibility of something unexpected.. At Diane's I listened to bard owls in the night, used a very clean, full of personality outhouse, and slept with the doors and windows wide open. In some ways I felt as though I was camping, and my 58 year old body felt like it was 20 again..

What an amazing place! Everything was charming and wonderful. The bedrooms have a lovely artistic feel with a spiral wood staircase and tree branches as part of the trim. The kitchen area is spacious and has everything you need (cookstove, refrigerator, kettle, tea/coffee, dishes, large counter, dining table, and breakfast fixings). It was very peaceful enjoying breakfast there while looking out over the yard and garden and fruit trees. Being able to use the studio was a dream come true for us as we have professional dancers in the family. The studio space is fabulous with mirrors, a wood stove, a piano, TV/VCR, portable ballet bars, and big barn doors that open out to a large deck. Diane and Andrew were super hosts - very friendly and interesting people. This is a great place to stay on Cortes and gives a special glimpse into local life on the island. We feel very grateful we had a chance to stay at the Hummingbird Haven Cottage!

Diane and Andrew were amazing hosts! They were willing to accommodate us on VERY short notice (a matter of hours), and they provided us with a tour of their wonderful home right when we arrived (despite a late night arrival). They were warm and inviting and left us a bottle of local wine and chocolate. They were extremely communicative, always responding to any requests we had within a matter of hours. The home itself is beautiful, with two full beds, a big space, and beside a beautiful backyard. It's near beautiful hiking trails, Hague Lake, and very near to Hollyhock (which was convenient for us since we were taking a leadership training course there). We loved our stay and would highly recommend it!

Our hosts made us feel very welcome and were very helpful. This is a lovely family and we enjoyed meeting them. A lovely rustic cabin nestled in the woods, yet near to all the charming sites on Cortes Island. We loved the big dance/yoga space and the cozy beds. The outdoor kitchen was lovely. We'd definitely return!

Hi Lisa and Rex, My stay here was wonderful! So peaceful and serene. Exactly what I had hoped for! Thank you so much!! Charlene :)

My husband, 4-year old, and I loved staying at Lisa's cozy, clean, and serene suite on Cortes. She was available, friendly, kind, and made us feel completely welcome! We are grateful for the lovely retreat, and can't wait to come back to Cortes. Thank you, Lisa! -Elizabeth, Dave, and Silas

We loved the suite and Cortes! The location is perfect, right beside Manson's Landing and on Hague Lake. We used the canoe to paddle around the lake and we swam in the lake. Lisa and Rex were very helpful and gracious.

It was such a pleasure staying at Lisa's! The room was beautiful and clean, plus the view is absolutely gorgeous. She and her family were quiet and respectful of our privacy, but also made us feel very welcome. We loved being able to take out the canoe! The listing description fits perfectly; the only difference is that the place looks better in person than in the photos. We felt right at home, and look forward to returning next year!

Lisa gave us good instructions for finding their house and greeted us as we walked into the property. The apartment was all we hoped for and more. A beautiful quiet spot with great view.

We found Lakeside Suite to be a delightful retreat and staging point for our visit to Cortes Island. Since our itinerary included presenting a course at Hollyhock, the quietly beautiful suite was a great place to begin our stay on the Island and to return to after leaving Hollyhock. Lisa and Rex are stellar hosts who could not be more accommodating or helpful. They have created a home where the best of the island's culture, beauty and hospitality finds focus, framed by a magnificent and colorful garden, stately evergreens and expansive views of Hague Lake. The spacious suite has a comfortable queen bed, and is cheerfully decorated with some of Lisa's lovely art. There is a large bathroom with an awesome shower. A dozen or so excellent novels and two comfy chairs invite you to curl up on a rainy day for indoor adventure while the busy robins and hummingbirds outside the large picture window punctuate the life outdoors. It is possible to prepare simple meals in the mini-cooking area, and the fridge will hold your drinks and favorite foods. We took advantage of the easy walk to businesses and amenities of Mansons Village, although we probably enjoyed TOO MANY outrageously good muffins from the Co-op. There are lovely places to walk, and the School to Sea Trail is a favorite and leisurely hike. Don't hesitate to use the canoe at Lakeside Suite to explore the glassy lake and sandy swimming beaches. We had a great stay! Thank you, Lisa and Rex, for a wonderful visit to Cortes. Annie and Cliff

Our Host welcomed us with everything we could possibly need in our suite, a super comfortable bed with a view facing out onto the lake, a fridge and cupboard fully stocked with everything we might need to cook with and nice hot showers. The bonus for us was getting up early and canoeing on the pristine lake with a canoe which they provide. Pure bliss! We were sad to have to leave. Heaven on earth.

Schönes Haus in einer spektakulären, ruhige Lage. Wir genossen die Aussicht auf den Ozean, die wild lebenden Tiere und alles andere, dass Cortes Island zu bieten hat. Chris war ein toller Gastgeber!

Ausgezeichnete Miete in einem schönen, sauber, bequem zu Hause in einer spektakulären Umgebung. Chris war ein toller Gastgeber und sorgte dafür, alle unsere Fragen prompt beantwortet wurden. Ich wünschte, wir wären noch dort!

An amazing location; quiet, with stellar views! Fruit trees and blackberries in the yard as well as resident deer and fawn. It was easy to explore the island by car from this place. Very comfortable and well-equipped!

Mijn ouders en ik waren op zoek naar een out-of-way nook plek om Kerstmis dit jaar door te brengen, en dit was zeker iets anders voor ons! Het voelde alsof we kregen een redelijk authentiek BC Island winter ervaring - koud en prachtig verlaten. // House: Heel mooi en zeer warm toen we eenmaal de houtkachel gaan. Super gezellig met een flink aantal voorzieningen zoals draadloze luidsprekers (voor vakantie muziek!) En tal van dingen om mee te koken. Het uitzicht is werkelijk spectaculair en het was een prachtige plek om weg te komen van alles voor een paar dagen. Het huis en het strand zijn heel charmant, majestueus, en rustig. 6 personen comfortabel. Was niet echt een probleem voor ons, maar er is geen tv, maar vrij betrouwbaar en snel WiFi. // Locatie: Echt in de middle of nowhere (ten minste het voelde als zodanig in het midden van de winter) - snelste manier werkelijk is per watervliegtuig (of conventioneel, via een reeks van veerboten van Nanaimo). Fantastisch als je om weg in de rustige, niet zo ideaal als je onprettig bent door een gebrek aan menselijk contact. // Host: Kon niet hebben gevraagd om meer van Chris. Geweldige ervaring en fantastisch responsief. Moest bellen op kerstavond als we het inchecken waren en hij reageerde onmiddellijk te helpen. Super dankbaar! // Samenvatting: Prachtig luxueus huis met een belachelijke uitzicht uit de veranda, maar zeker beter (persoonlijke mening) in de zomer met meer mensen en daglicht uur. Awesome voorzieningen en een plezierige ervaring in ergens een beetje anders.

Groot huis, geweldige locatie, zeer schoon, uitstekende communicatieve uit host.

这是一个伟大的房子,美丽的景色。院子里是精致!我们总是有亲爱的访问。有更多的黑莓和苹果这一点,我们可以吃。这是伟大的,是能够直接步行到海滩。我们的主机是可爱的,快速反应迅速的每一个问题。

We had a great stay at Ian’s Cabin in the woods. It’s close to the beach, the lake, and Cortes Market. The house looked small from the outside but once inside it had all the space we needed. The layout of the house is practical and comfortable with brand new appliances and a fully equip kitchen. I wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed more of the island.

Great little cabin! Cabin is very new and clean. Bed is very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you'll need. Perfect size for two people. Property is very quiet and close to ammenities. Loved Cortes... Wonderful little island.

Beautiful

Un petit chalet près de la plage et du lac. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour.

Je recommande vivement cet endroit pour 4 pers ou moins. Il est tout à fait et calme. J'ai adoré l'emplacement est très proche (quelques minutes en voiture) à la boutique alimentaire et un restaurant.

We really enjoyed our stay in Iain's "urban-rustic" cabin! It is super cute and more than comfortable for two. it is conveniently located near good hiking trails, the lake, and the quiet lagoon. We are already planning our next trip back!

Das Häuschen ist inmitten des Waldes. Perfekt eingerichtet, sehr sauber und praktisch! Die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge zu Holly Hock, Smelt Bay und Mansons Landing.

The cabin is nestled among trees in a very convenient location, close to multiple beaches and trails. Inside the cabin was a cozy and welcoming, but modern, set up that had all the basic necessities we would need for our stay. It was a great place to use as a homebase for our exploration of Cortes!

I had to cancel last minute. Melissa was very understanding.

Es ist eine sehr schöne und gemütliche Ort. Meine Familie genossen am Mansons Lagoon Cottage zu bleiben. Auch in der regen, die Aussicht war wunderschön und sehr entspannend.

We knew from the pictures Melissa posted on the website that the cottage was going to be special but we weren't prepared for just how special! The house has a charm that can't be captured through photography - you just have to go there to experience it's magic. Melissa was very helpful throughout the whole booking experience and provided great info on the island and how to get to the cottage ahead of time. She was warm and welcoming and gave us what felt like a personalized treatment. The cottage is also ideally located on Cortes for getting to all the great swimming beaches and amenities - although we really didn't want to leave the cottage. There is just so much to say about how great it is. Personal favourites were the outdoor (hot) shower with views of the lagoon, the comfy deck with pillows and blankets for just soaking up the surroundings, the lagoon, the sunsets, the reflections of the moon on the water, the peaceful garden and listening to the bees buzzing amongst all the glorious flowers. We also took full advantage of Melissa's kind offer to use their personal row boat and enjoyed paddling about the lagoon and looking at all the amazing marine life teeming below us. I even accepted a marriage proposal whilst being rowed out at sunset - it's that kind of place! We will most definitely be coming back here again. Thank you for a truly unforgettable stay. x

A magical place on the lagoon. We loved the quietness and the hearing the owls hooting at night. The cabin is very cute. The host family is very nice & friendly.

My parents and sister were welcomed beautifully into Melissa's beautiful home on the fabulous lagoon on Cortes Island.The home was immaculately clean with a large exotic Bouquet of flowers from the garden.There was a wonderful library for reading on inclement weather (URL HIDDEN) family was entranced by the tidal activity in the lagoon and any needs we had were taken care of immediately by (URL HIDDEN) was a perfect spot for a our family to celebrate my father's 86 th birthday. I highly recommend Melissa's home for a great experience .

Nicely greeted as we arrived. Quiet porch and good BBQ. Comfy beds. Great fireplace. Launched our kayaks on the beach for a great paddle in the area.

I thought about doing a bad review so that people would stay away from Mansons Lagoon Cottage & we would be more likely to be able to book here again easily BUT I just couldn't do that. But that statement alone should tell you how wonderful it is here.!! This was our 2nd time staying at the cottage & we love it. Easily enough room for 4 people in the 2 bedrooms with very comfy beds plus living room couches for more people. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cutlery, pots & pans. We brought our clothes, food, some foil pans to use in the barbecue & paper towels. Covered decks in case of rain. Thank you so much Melissa for the beautiful fresh cut flowers that were in the kitchen & bedrooms when we arrived. I could write more but suffice it to say that we love love it at Mansons Lagoon Cottage.

Melissa's place was exactly as described. Previous reviewers have commented on the trail to the cottage being treacherous, we did not find this to be true at all. The kitchen was shockingly well appointed, the space clean and comfortable, and the outdoor shower a treat. Overall 10/10, would stay again! We highly recommend this place :)

Loved our stay here! So much space for everyone in our large group. Very friendly hosts too. Thanks again.

This was a beautiful place to have our wedding. The water was beautiful, the Lodge was clean and spacious for our 30 guests. The yard was large and provided lots of space for games and play. Hosts were amazing and very friendly.

la place de Sue à Cortes Island était un vrai bijou! Ma famille avait un temps incroyable en regardant à travers tous les bibelots autour de la maison, se prélasser autour de la plate-forme avec la vue vraiment majestueux, et bien sûr de prendre un bain dans le jacuzzi que le coucher de soleil sur cette île tranquille. La maison possède tous les équipements dont on a besoin loin de la maison et il est super confortable. Il a certainement un vécu en ambiance, mais dans notre avis, il a ajouté plus de l'expérience que vous pourriez dire qu'il y avait beaucoup d'amour mis dans la place et des tonnes de l'histoire pour aller avec elle. Nous avons adoré la lecture des livres sur les zones locales prévues et tous les puzzles autres / jeux sur les étagères. Nous recommandons de prendre un bain dans le lac de La Haye et de vérifier tous les étonnants produisent / produits locaux à la Co-Op Bakery et marchés hebdomadaires! Cortes est certainement un shlep pour arriver à, mais une fois que vous êtes là, vous vous rendrez compte il n'y a pas beaucoup d'endroits à gauche sur la terre comme elle et elle est un véritable diamant brut. lieu 100% de Sue ajouté à l'expérience et nous avons tous senti qu'il était un bon prix pour une expérience original et amusant. Si nous avons de ce côté du monde à nouveau, vous pouvez parier nous réserver ici en une seconde! Merci beaucoup!!!

Susan helped us to take full advantage of Cortes Island and to make the cabin our home away from home. We loved the view, the hot tub, the comfy bedding, and the well-stocked kitchen.

Le Cortes Beachhouse est situé à une baie isolée magnifique sur l'île Cortes. Vue imprenable sur le pont et la chambre principale. Les enfants ont adoré la grande collection d'objets particuliers dans la maison et ont joué des variations de 'I Spy ...' ... très amusant! Nous avons vu beaucoup de (marine) la faune: les loutres, les phoques, lions de mer, des aigles, des vautours de dinde, chers, le raton laveur ... trop à la liste. Nous avons également enrichi notre repas quotidien par auto attrapé des crabes, des saumons (attrapé un grand chinook!) Et le sébaste. Le sentier Green Mountain est une grande marche pour obtenir une vue panoramique sur la baie. Conseillé. Nous avons été chanceux et on a pu voir une gousse d'orques du ferry; mais aussi allé sur un bateau (départ de Quadra) pour eux (et les baleines à bosse) observer de plus près. Étourdissant. Si vous visitez; s'il vous plaît être conscient que Cortes est vraiment distant ... rien de tel que de saut rapidement de retour à la terre ferme ... et les magasins de l'île sont limitées dans leurs approvisionnements. Serait sûrement revenir!

Ann and Ben were wonderful hosts who provided us with perfect accommodations, local history, sunset view of Gorge Harbour, comfortable beds, a babbling brook, fantastic kitchen, deck,and fireplace. Location is close to the ferry and grocery shopping at the Gorge or Cortes Markets and exploring the local beaches and hiking trails. We will be back on our next visit to Cortes Island

I had an amazing 3 nights at this fabulous home right on the beach. Thank you to the hosts for the inspiring time. Highly recommended.

L'endroit était stellaire. Propre, calme, de grands lits, et propice à de longues conversations, la cuisine et la lecture de la vue / paramètre est l'un des plus attrayante que je ai vu. L'appartement était tout fenêtre donnant sur l'eau et les montagnes Georgina et Kevin a fourni une grande expérience. Merci Georgina les recommandations de randonnée!

It's an amazing location and house, and a joy to rent from Kevin and Georgina.

What a spectacular home! Beautifully finished interior featuring BC's native soft woods. Loved the mixture & contrasts of the weathered barn-wood, Douglas Fir and Cedar. A hidden gem at the end of a very quiet road. Waking up to spectacular sunrises, and laying out on the deck at night to capture shooting stars and travelling satellites. Magical. Kevin and Georgina provided all the necessities to create a very comfortable experience. Comfy bed, open floor plan, firewood to burn in the wood stove, extensive reading material and a good assortment of music. My husband and my mother-in-law spent 3 nights on Cortes. Loved the island and Kevin & Georgina's home only added to the wonderful experience. Thank you so much.

在一个美丽的地方美丽的空间。凯文 - 乔治娜是非常有益和房子是更大和更好的比我们所希望的。清洁。安静。平静的。自在。 &右在水面上。恢复!

This was a beautiful well equipped apartment on the ocean suitable for beach walking and kayaking. The hosts were very welcoming. This is shared accomodation with rentals on all three (URL HIDDEN) You can hear your neighbours.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Your accommodation was far beyond our expectations & our holiday was very peaceful and relaxing! We hope to be back in the future!

Caz prepared the house beautifully for our arrival. She created a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the living room and one doe the dining table. She greeted us with a big smile and warm heart. She was very clear about the details of the house which we appreciated and she kept in touch with us during the week to make sure we had everything we needed. She was a perfect hostess! Thanks Caz from all of us for creating a haven for our stay. With great gratitude and appreciation, Marilyn, Jen, Penny and Theresa

Good morning all potential renters. I am pleased to be able to review our recent stay at the charming Caz'z oceanfront cabin. Everything is exactly as described except of the fact that one cannot capture all the beauty of looking across the sound from the deck of the home. Case was available at all times and kept in touch with us for anything we might find ourselves in need of - including fresh flowers from her verdant garden next door. Note: for those of you wishing you might bath in a tub outside under the stars.........well there's that too. Perfect stay, perfect host.

Caz was a great host and her place was amazing! We had a wonderful weekend taking in the view and exploring the island. We hope to come back next year for a longer stay!
