Unstable, dangerous, and slippery conditions may exist within and outside the property, and is only suitable for:
1) Adults
2) Infants who are not yet walking, and will be held/ carried in a baby carrier or baby bjorn. This property is too rugged and wild for children to walk around on safely, we suggest only non-walking infants or well-behaved children 10 and older.
You will find total privacy and peace here. Separate entrance, with a gate around the side that takes you to the garden and onto the beach access staircase. You are welcome to enjoy strolling and hanging out on the entire east side of the property (roughly 2 acres to yourself) as we spend majority of our time on the west side of the property. There is another suite attached to our home as well as this one, but with strategic landscaping and soundproofing you will find peacefulness and privacy here. You can also walk down our road only 15 minutes all the way to the west side of the island point, where you can view the sunset, which is a beautiful nature walk, passing only the odd farmhouse and cabin, very quiet and peaceful. Having a vehicle is a huge plus as you can then easily explore that rest of the island with all the beautiful nature trails and parks it has to offer. Having bicycles would also be a nice way to get around. This part of the island is extremely peaceful and unpopulated, yet only a 7 minute drive from the ferry and shops/restaurants. You will truly be able to connect with nature during a stay at our cottage. Your view will be unique in that you see historic Chrome Island from this side, as well as a view of the provincial park, and straight down Baynes sound with absolutely no obstacles. The sun rises directly out of the ocean in winter months, a view you can see right from your bedroom or for an even more special experience, right from the beach. Eagles' nests are right above you, watch them hunt for fish and fly overhead all day long. In fall, a salmon stream is just down the beach for you to watch them spawn, seals and sea lions are present year round, as well as porpoises, and if your are lucky, you may even sea some whales swim by. Deer walk past your cottage regularly, and birds of all kinds are all around. Potters, fibre artists, jewelry artisans and glass artists dot the island and welcome your visits. We are also on a 3 minute drive form the organic winery. Also, our cottage is a 5 min drive or 15 min bike ride to the Hornby Island Ferry so you can explore Hornby Island as well for day trips.
