This was awesome! Beautiful view and such a cute island. Inside was amazing and super clean!

Thanks so much for your hospitality in your beautiful Cabin Trudy! We'll be back :-)

Trudy was an outstanding host, and my stay at her place with my wife was fantastic . The place is naturally gorgeous, and Trudy made sure to add every and each special detail to make it even more splendid. I sincerely recommend her to every traveler. The cabin is cozy and quaint, and so is the island.

Perfect getaway with very purposeful design in such a unique hand-built home. Everyone in town was exceedingly friendly and went out of their way to chat and offer advice about the area. Trudy also provided wonderful hommade granola and other breakfast goods - very helpful on an island!

My second visit, and amazing as usual!

We had an amazing 10-day stay at Trudy's place. The little cabin is gorgeous and cozy, with many nice features. The view looking out to Newcastle Island across the water is beautiful and serene. We had a great time walking around Protection Island, kayaking, exploring the trails through the tranquil forest on nearby Newcastle Island, and Nanaimo is only a 10min ferry ride away. Trudy was so thoughtful and helpful during our stay, which really made us feel at home. This place offers such a unique experience and was definitely a highlight of our trip.

Trudy is a top-notch, thoughtful host with great communication and adorable little touches from check in to check out. I visited her cabin to celebrate my first weekend as a Canadian citizen and I don't think I could have chosen a better spot. The cabin is so cozy and welcoming, the views are spectacular, and the island experience is totally unique. We explored Protection Island and ate some tasty seafood there (Dinghy Dock Pub), took a ferry to neighbouring Newcastle Island for a day hike (a stunning provincial park), brunched in Nanaimo at a farm-to-table restaurant (Gabriel's Gourmet Cafe) and a local hot spot (The Vault), and relaxed in all the nature. I wish I spent another day to check out Gabriola Island, but that'll be for next time. Thanks Trudy!!

Trudy’s cabin is an amazing place to stay on Protection Island. She is super helpful and friendly and T-dog was a welcome surprise greeter upon our arrival. The views are fantastic and it was a lovely place to stay for a weekend away! Thank you so much Trudy!

Fantastic view, space and host!

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Bree's place, she had great attention to little details, and view really was excellent. A perfect island getaway!

“Simple, Modern, Comfortable, Clean Studio, Perfect For Anniversary❤️” There is a nice view from the window. The room and the bath are clean. Amazing BATHTUB! Nice view of the harbour from our window. Liked this place a lot.

Everything was perfect.

The location is beautiful and all the extra thoughtful touches made it an extra special stay. I arrived to classical music playing and a warm fire going in the fireplace. There was milk, coffee, treats and snacks. Beautiful shampoos an the bath is gorgeous with the view. Curling up in the window seat (again with the view) makes this an amazing retreat-like setting. 5 star - including three beautiful deer that quietly walked by my window as I gazed at the ocean view.

The bathroom is fantastic--especially the tub and dual shower. The view is gorgeous and we saw deer right outside every day! Bree is a gracious host and the kitchen is well stocked--I especially appreciated the cooking spray and spices.

Awesome stay. Beautiful view and very nicely decorated. Loved the jacuzzi!

The cozy abode served us well over the weekend. Tucked away with a beautiful ocean view, we didn’t turn the tv on once. We nestled on the bay window the entire time. Watching the water and the deer feed. Location was pretty handy, we were 20-30 mins from our hiking spots. Great weekend all around!

Nice place in a super quiet neighborhood. The hot tub is nice and has a view of the ocean, the whole place was very clean, And the check in was a breeze. Thanks for having me

What an amazing location! Cozy, quaint and exactly as described! The kitchen is stocked with anything you would need to make your own meals and the bathroom has everything you would need incase you forgot anything. Super quick with responding to questions and they give you tips on local restaurants, pubs grocery stores etc. Our only regret is having stayed only one night.

Lovely and private space, very comfortable. We walked down to the beach and would recommend that everyone make some time to do the same.

Quiet location, private, clean, and welcoming with great communication. Would definitely recommend!

Such a beautiful space with amazing views, and many thoughtful details. It was our second trip to Alan and Gillians place and it was just as lovely as the first time. Definitely recommend this stay and these wonderful hosts.

All 5 stars !

We really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely book again. Great ocean views, private suite and hot tub! The perfect getaway

Amazing place very relaxing one of my favourite retreats

A fabulous retreat! Clean and comfortable with many special touches. We would come back for sure.

What an amazing cabin. Everything you could ask for and so much more. Private, quiet, lovely walks and trails close by, filled with thoughtful touches. A perfect location for our ladies SPA trip....Tigh-na-mera is just up the highway. A true delight.

Can not recommend enough - the hosts have gone out their way to make this such a welcoming and restful retreat in the woods!

We loved our stay here. It is so quiet and dark nestled in the trees. You can walk straight out the door and join up with numerous hiking trails. The cabin itself is near the family home but is very private, lots of thoughtful touches and a full kitchen where we cooked our dinners. Quick drive in to town too if you want food.

Would recommend

Magic house in the woods! The setting is great and the hosts are very welcoming and attentive! The accommodation is clean and functional and the bedding is of high quality!

We spent a lovely weekend /Chinese new year at Cheryl and Lori’s cabin. It was absolutely worth to stay! My fav part is the loft TV area and the big windows. I would love to come back another time(maybe summer time) so we can explore more in the woods. They welcomed us when we arrived and introduced us about the cabin. The cabin was heated when we got there so it’s very warm inside. The drive way was very clear(the view is beautiful on the way), you just need to read about the instructions provided. We had everything we needed. They even had eggs and snacks prepared <3 PLUS We saw a few deers in the morning just outside the cabin!! 5star for you!Thank you for having us!

Quiet and peaceful, just what we needed.

We had a great stay at the cabin. The location is nice and quite, away from the hubbub of life, tucked away in the forest.

Nice small little cabin! Perfect for two people. The host was very accommodating during the check-in and also very knowledgeable about local destinations and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Sparkling clean and the extra touches just exceeded our experience.

We only stayed for one night but will definitely be considering staying again for longer. We arrived around 10 pm, and Jack let us into the cabin. He was very polite even though we arrived later than we had planned. The cabin is very small, but is a perfect space for 2. I loved listening to the birds in the morning. The bathroom is quite cramped though. Jack told us he was in the process of fixing the shower door so that it doesn't close in. Being a bit of a bigger lady made getting into the shower a bit difficult so when that is fixed it's completely perfect.

Nice and cozy little cabin for a getaway trip. Definitely will come back in the summer.

Nice relaxing place - you'll en joy it!

This was such a cozy little cabin. Everything we needed was provided. They even had made some cookies for us. I liked it that Jack showed us around in the cabin and talked a bit with us. We liked this personal approach, since a lot of the time you don't see the host itself. We recommend this cabin to anyone else!

Clean, quiet, functional. Was perfect for myself while in the area for work.

Wonderful micro cabin in a tranquil wooded setting. The property is quiet, and the cabin spotless and well-equipped. Lots of great things to explore in the Roberts Creek area.

Karen's tiny cabin is super cozy and makes for a perfect quiet getaway! I spend 3 days there by myself and had a great time either staying in with a book, or exploring the area :)

Karen will make sure you feel at home. Loved all the details and thoughtful touches. We found very helpful all the tips and the quick responses. Great value and awesome experience.

We loved our stay! I can't recommend this place enough. This beautiful tiny home is just the right size for a weekend getaway for two. It had everything you needed. We arrived to cold beers in the fridge and a personalised card welcoming us. It's a short walk to a quiet beach, 20 minutes to the local cafe and a 10 minute drive to Gibson's. I can't wait to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in the cozy cabin. Karen was a great and very accommodating host.

The place was lovely, as expected in the description and photos. We had a very comfortable overnight stay.

We had a great stay at Karen’s cabin. Highly recommended!

Great little place in nature. Not far from beach and trails. Super comfortable bed.

Wonderful cozy spot!

Exactly as described. Very warm welcome and nice host! Would absolutely recommend and would be back some time!

Wendy's beach-themed suite is lovely. It's very cozy and clean, with lots of thoughtful touches. I stayed there for a couple days on a work trip, but would definitely come back for play. Thanks Wendy!

Wendy's suite is very clean and bright! Self check in was very easy. It is located very close to the harbour. And we really appreciated the little touches such as the snacks and town guide. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a wonderful suite in many ways. Everything you needed was there plus many welcoming touches. Basic supplies for making meals were provided and was really appreciated. I found the location walkable to get groceries, to walk downtown and from the Horseshoe Bay ferry. Wendy kept in touch and provided excellent information about the area.

Nice house.The owner is so sweet. It is a nice choice!

Wendy's suite had everything we needed and more, she thought of everything. It also has a beautiful ocean view of Departure Bay & Newcastle Island.

We enjoyed our stay at Wendy’s place and really appreciated how close it was to the ferry terminal and a high-speed EV charger!

The cutest little place ever! Tina is such a lovely host as well, the dogs are adorable!

We had a wonderful time at your cozy little house. We found our stay relaxing, enjoyed the prime location, and our Golden love Tina’s dogs. Thanks for having us!

Cute and cozy cabin in a nice quiet area of town, we loved the little space!

Lovely area and Tina had some good local tips! Definitely would stay again :)

This place is such a gem! There's a simplicity to Gabriola and to this tiny cabin that made my stay so resourcing and nourishing. I especially loved climbing up to the loft everynight. Would definitely return. Dogs are very friendly.

Tina's beautiful little house is the perfect cozy getaway to relax into and enjoy, as you explore the wonders of Gabriola's beaches, forest and community vibe!

Fabulous little house for a short stay, reasonable price too. Very clean and quiet. Tina's dogs are very friendly and not "barky" at all.

Wonderfully cozy space.

This space was phenomenal, and I can see why Carmen is a superhost. The cabin was everything we expected and more — beautiful, cozy, and nestled in wilderness. Carmen went above and beyond in answering our questions in a timely manner, giving us directions and tips, and offering us a few extras when we forgot beach towels. If we could give 6 stars we would. Thank you for such a pleasant trip - we’ll be back in a heartbeat.

Carmen was very responsive and welcoming, and her suite was very clean and cozy, with lots of privacy!

Carmen was a great host. The place was clean and had everything I needed to have a comfortable stay :) Carmen was quick to respond to my questions and was a joy to talk to. The surroundings are beautiful, and it really does feel like your own little oasis get away. Highly recommend.

Carmen's place is a cozy oasis in the forest. It's located behind her home, but feels very private. We enjoyed watching the Steller's Jays and other birds at the feeder outside the kitchen window, as well as the nearby hiking.

Cozy little getaway. Wish we could have stayed longer!

A very quiet and peaceful experience. Perfect place to hang your hat and do some exploring during the day. Unit was very clean and had everything I needed to be comfortable.

Wonderful place and such a great location. I loved Gabriola Island and Carmen is a wonderful host!

Nice little house in a quiet private yard

Beautiful property with wonderful views, friendly dogs and an amazing breakfast. Thank you so much!

Fantastic view, beautiful spot. Definitely have the breakfast!!!

What a lovely location for a trip. The property is spectacular, great accommodations, very clean and spacious. Do order the breakfast, it is delivered to your suite, hot and delicious. Suzanne is a kind host and offered great recommendations of things to do in Gabriola Island. The view from the suite is fabulous rain or shine.

Great location, really helpful host and fantastic breakfasts! Will definitely stay again on return to Gabriela Island.

This is a lovely country property located on the rocky west shore of Gabriola. Suzanne was very welcoming as were the friendly dogs. This is more than a ‘room’, it’s a spacious apartment, private and tastefully decorated, not to mention clean. You can expect gourmet breakfasts with homegrown fruits and veggies from the garden, if you choose to. We highly recommend them. We would definitely come back here!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Salty Dog. The accommodations were clean, cozy and comfortable. The location was fantastic, the beds were awesome and the views and places to sit and relax were beautiful. Suzanne is a very accommodating host and her breakfasts were amazing. Loved having the dogs around and wished we had more time with them but there was so much going on to keep us out and about on the island we wished we would have planned at least a 5 day stay. Wonderful place to enjoy some good quiet, re-connecting and reflection time.

Fantastic spot! Very clean, comfy beds, spacious, and the location is absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here, and hope to return! Suzanne was also delightful to interact with. We chose to add the $10 breakfast in the morning, and it was delicious. Overall, great experience!

Splendid place to recover and feel in peace with yourself. Suzanne and Gary are great hosts. Booking Suzannes very tasty home made breakfast 🍳 is highly recommended. Clean and lovely space with lots of room to yourself. We enjoyed especially our daily little swim in the cold water and the beautiful deck on the rock. You will enjoy your stay!

We loved our stay in Yvonne's tiny home which is on a wooded property that is secluded from the road and others. The tiny home is 10meters or so from the main house. It is well built and designed with handsome and thoughtful details everywhere such as live edge shelving and a sliding/barn door to the bathroom. It did not feel cramped at all for two. We enjoyed the sound of the rain on the two skylights and felt very comfortable there. The toilet, while unusual, is not difficult to use once you read the instructions. Everything was clean, check in was easy and there are instructions prior to your stay to walk you through any questions you might have about the place. It was very warm just with the plug in oil heater in early January. No need to use the propane heater if it makes you nervous! Thanks for the stay

This is a stylish tiny home that feels more spacious than expected, given its tiny dimensions, thanks to its high ceiling and loft bed area. Very good layout, with a great kitchen and a very comfortable bathroom. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Some mindfulness is necessary when reading (and following) instructions for the waterless toilet and the propane heater. However, as long as you are a considerate guest (or two), this place will be a delightful island getaway.

Quiet, private, new tiny house. Clean and cozy. Perfect for a weekend getaway!

We had an amazing stay in Yvonne’s tiny home. The location was easy to find, beautiful and very comfortable. It was exactly what we needed! The island is also amazing!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in Yvonne's tiny house! The amenities were exactly as described, and we would certainly stay here again. Yvonne was a lovely host, excellent with communications. Highly recommend!

Amazing property to get away from it all. Very peaceful and quiet. The tiny home is an amazing space and everything works really well in the space.

Very sweet and well appointed tiny house (with huge shower!). It was a lovely property, and it must have been exuding good vibes because my daughter took her first step out in the yard! Nice and bright, be ready to wake with the sun!

Very nice and cozy. Made our first trip to Gabriola island very pleasant.

Cozy & comfortable & pet friendly!

This is a perfect place to stay on a beautiful and quiet island. Everything was as promised and the cabin is amazing, so cute, cozy and comfortable.

This is a lovely place. Cosy, beautiful, well maintained, a gorgeous setting, hot showers, prompt and helpful responses from Julia

Amazing garden and pond , peaceful , serene and the each piece of furniture seems carefully selected to make for a cozy retro livingspace once inside.

Clean And quiet. a perfect get away. The cottage has everything you need and the gardens are like heaven. WiFi provides which is great as the island has poor cell service. The cottage has all you could need and more. Julia is amazing to deal with and is sweet and fast to reply. Amazing experience! Will be back for sure !!! 10/10. 10 stars!!!

Very lovely place to stay for peace and quiet . Had an amazing time

This location is a true gem! Beauty abounds, both inside the cabin and in the incredible garden. Kitchen is well stocked and you’ll won’t lack for anything. Check-in and communication with host was smooth.

Our stay at julia’s place was my favourite Airbnb to date. The photos don’t give the garden justice. We spent hours outside playing together. Her home was warm and welcoming. We really appreciated the special touches. There was fresh fruit picked from the garden for our arrival. The kitchen was fully stocked, this made cooking meals easy and stress free. I would highly recommend Julia’s place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway to Gabriola Island.

We loved the cabin. Much bigger actually than expected. We've been renting a cabin for the last 5 years on Airbnb over the Christmas/New Year period for a week and this was the most spacious so far. Plenty for the four of us: me and my girlfriend and three kids: 12, 13 and 14 year old. Well equipped kitchen with great pots and pans which served me well as we like cooking. Plenty of firewood to keep the cabin warm (there are also electric wall mounted heaters). Just a few minutes drive from the Gabriola "town center" where you'll find a super market with great selection and several other shops and a coffee shop. Ian is a great host with quick response and helpful information. Definitely a 5-star. --Patric

A private retreat ... with all the amenities.

Ian was a wonderful host and his place - spectacular. Our first trip to Gabriola exceeded our expectations.

Very comfortable log home with amazing wood stove. Host was very responsive to questions. Perfect place for our family to spend Thanksgiving. Highly recommended.

This a beautifully designed and built cabin with a lovely yard and garden. It accommodated our group of seven bicyclists well. We were especially appreciative of the very well equipped kitchen and barbecue. Ian was very responsive and flexible with our larger group. Guests should be aware that Gabriola is a steep island in the neighborhood where the cabin is located, so travel by bicycle or walking to the ferry and the village takes time without a car. But it’s a gorgeous place.

There's not enough superlatives to describe this space or the host. The cabin was spotless, beautifully designed, and very private. We loved cooking here, the beds were comfy, and the yard was large enough for many great family games of frisbee. Ian truly is a Super Host, as kind as he is efficient! He left very detailed instructions, there was everything we could need to cook with in the kitchen, and he was prompt to address questions we had, and even to offer understanding and support when our son's car broke down, had to go to the shop, and we were possibly looking at a late check out. Gabriola is a special community: We loved the beaches, Elder Cedar Nature Reserve, and Malaspina Galleries. Plus the people are warm and welcoming. If you have automotive trouble, Gabriola Automotive is the best! If we ever return to Vancouver Island, we'll go back to the island and Ian's place in a heartbeat!

Ian's stunning log cabin offers an exquisite golden hued interior with a lovely aesthetic and an extremly welcoming ambiance. Providing our group of three senior ladies with the perfect place in which to spend almost 4 days of mostly inclement weather. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and a dream to work in, the large bathroom is beautifully decorated, the beds are comfortable, and always complete peace and quiet. The many birds coming to feed a few inches from almost every window provided constant delights! Location is excellent... a few minutes drive from shops and services and ferries. And lastly but most importantly, a thank you to Ian our Superhost. Attentive and responsive in all communications and going the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay.

Exactly as listed. Private yet central to shopping, beaches, etc.. Amazing bird life and lots of deer.

Expect a clean, spacious, comfortable, delightful home away from everything yet a short drive to the nearby village.

If you are looking for a delightful, quiet getaway, then this is definitely the spot. It is tucked away from town and everyone, but close enough to all the amenities the island offers. We loved this bright and open house in the middle of the forest , with trails literally off the backyard! Our dog loved the fenced backyard. The kitchen is super well stocked with every utensil you’ll need, and stuffed with spices, tea, and other basic kitcheny things. We loved having a fire place to gather around, it made it super cozy. The beds were comfy, the master suite upstairs is bedroom goals!! We never got around to using the jacuzzi as we were out hiking but it looks gorgeous and we hope to try it again next time. It sleeps 6 in 3 private rooms but there are additional mattresses for larger groups when privacy is less of a concern! We 100% recommend!

Wonderful. Secluded. Beautiful. Clean. Private. Great with kids.

Truly a beautiful place to get away! We had a beautiful Friends-mas here, swooning by the woodstove and marveling at the forest around us. The space is stocked up with everything you'd need for a lovely getaway. Already thinking about the next time we can come back!

We had a fabulous time at this ‘home in the woods’. The home was very well outfitted for the 6 of us adults + 1 infant. It was the perfect setting for our crafting retreat. Gabriola is such a lovely little island with so many things to check out. We will definitely be back again! Thanks for everything, Katie

Amazing spot in the woods. Calm and clean, great fireplace!

Such a cozy spot for a getaway! This dog friendly spot is great for groups with dogs, we had a lovely time walking the trails. The indoor fire was a lovely addition, and the master bedroom/bathroom is incredible. Lots of kitchen supplies (spices, oils, teas, pots and pans!).

Place is great! Lovely property on a lovely island. Place is close to walking trails and the house is cozy for those rainy days. Loved the game we found in the table!

We enjoyed our stay in Mudge! It was quick to get over to Mudge from Gabriola thanks to the water taxi that Maryann helped us organize. Tom the water taxi driver was on time and provided some excellent local tips. Maryann was great to communicate with prior to our trip. The cottage was just as described. Cozy living room with a wood stove made for a perfectly relaxing place to watch the sea and the sunrise. A great stay for 5 guests and we all had our own beds. Highly recommend!

Maryann and Randy’s place is wonderful. A super relaxing retreat. Beautiful views with whales, frogs, and hummingbirds. We ate oysters on the beach and swam every day. The kayaks are great fun and exploring the island is wonderful. Highly recommended!

This is SUCH a cute spot. We loved the somewhat off the grid feel of this Mudge Island cottage and really appreciated all the care Maryann took in ensuring we were well prepared when we went out there. If you're from a big city and use to going places that are essentially cottages with regular city services, be aware that this is a more rustic experience, but in the best ways! I'd suggest touching base with the host to ensure you understand what getting on and off Mudge will entail so there's no surprises as you finalize your trip. But the cottage is sweet, the island is gloriously quiet and relaxed, the oysters/clams/crabs/mussels really are there for you to capture and slurp and the scenery is drop dead gorgeous. Everyone should see this part of Canada. The kitchen was especially awesome - it was equipped with just about everything we needed and all the little extras - kayaks, crab traps, bbq, awesome decks, hammock - made this such a special trip for our family. Definitely go!

Had an amazing time at this lovely beach home! Maryann was quick to respond to any questions and made sure we were comfortable getting to her home. We spent our days beach combing and enjoying the deck. This place is very secluded and there are no restaurants or pubs, but we planned out our meals for the week and had no issues. So happy we went!

Had a great stay at Park's oceanfront rental.

Beautiful location with view of Georgia Strait and coast mountains, very comfortable cozy cottage with great amenities, great hosts. Would love to return to this spot some day.

This is the second stay at Parks cottage. It is basic, and comfortable. The location is excellent !

This cottage is in the perfect location when visiting Gabriola Island. It is clean, and cozy. We would definitely stay again!

The house is located on a beautiful part of Gabriola yet is convenient to everything. Park and her husband are generous hosts and responsive to all our needs while still allowing as much privacy as we wanted. The view is outstanding and the fruit from their orchard delicious and a welcome treat. Every evening we walked down the driveway to Olebar Point to watch the sunset. The dolphins, sea lions, sea otters and purple starfish were a wonderful bonus.

We came to Gabriola last year and really wanted to return especially to Orlebar Point so it was great to find Park's property on the site. Great wee cottage and the location was perfect. A few seconds walk from the most amazing views where we have watched eagles, vultures, otters, sealions and orca. The cottage is basic in design but well equipped and comfy. Park her self is lovely. Warm, welcoming and very generous with her time. Being a stones throw from the Surf Lodge was a real bonus too. A 10 minute stroll along the road or rocks/beach where we spent many late afternoons and evenings on the balcony watching the world go by. I really hope to return here ( or the other house Park has very nearby ) soon.

Amazing location! Stunning views & fab walks on gorgeous beach from front door. So peaceful.

Beautiful cottage with an amazing garden and right on the water by the nicest sunset spot! Park was a very helpful and gracious host! Definitely suggest for a Gabriola getaway!

Ken and Aubrey have a sweet little cabin on Gabriola, conveniently located close to the ferry. They were very accommodating and flexible regarding our check-in time as we had a birthday party to attend and would be gone late into the night. The beds were super comfortable and there were lovely, healthy snacks that kept the kids' hunger at bay in the morning. I would definitely stay at their cabin again!

We had a great stay and really enjoyed exploring Gabriola. Such a nice little hideaway.

Very clean, quaint and wholesome. So many neat little touches. The bed is so soft you never want to leave. Place is easy to find. We would stay here again. 👍

It's a nice little compact space made really welcoming with home made touches. We wanted a quick blast of Gulf Island sunshine this was a great place to access it from. Ken and Aubrey we're really welcoming and helped us with anything they could to make our stay more enjoyable.

My partner, 7 year old son and I had such a great weekend getaway staying in this little cabin! It absolutely exceeded our expectations and we would absolutely love to stay here again! The perfect place for a small family! It’s a small one bedroom cabin, but the space has been made use of well. It didn’t feel super cramped or like we were on top of each other, just cozy (even with the queen bed and bunk bed in one room, which we had worried about). They’ve also stocked the cabin with plenty of little things to make it feel like home, like a couple of games and some DVDs. And there were snacks that made life with a kiddo a lot easier. The scones they left for our first morning were delicious, although there were only two of them for three of us (so we hid them from the little one and he had oatmeal instead). There were also the cutest tiny little thumb-sized jars of jam in really lovely flavours. Pretty much anything we could have needed was right there in the suite. And the hosts were super helpful and provided us with a great list of stuff to do on the island. The weather while we there was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting outside in the yard with our coffee, and our son loved having access to their little treehouse. On our last morning there he even got to play with the resident kiddo (which he was thrilled about, and it kept him busy enough that packing wasn’t nearly as tedious as it could have been with him under foot) and we stuck around after checkout to help them set up a trampoline which further thrilled the tiny human (and he insists we must go back again so he can bounce for even longer with his new friend).

A cute, charming space to relax and unwind. Very peaceful!

Everything at Ken and Aubrey's cabin was as described. It was perfect for our overnight stay in Gabriola.

Great place, would highly recommend

Our stay here was simply fantastic! Irene's hospitality went above and beyond - she really made sure we had anything and everything we could possibly need. It was so wonderful to have a host that was so friendly and made us feel so at home. The space was spotlessly clean and well-supplied. 10/10 would recommend, and we can't wait to come back!

Excellent stay at Irene's place. I rate Irene as the best hostess of all the places we've stayed at with AirBnB in the last four years. Fresh flowers on the table, milk for or granola and cream for our coffee in the fridge, as well as muffins and a bowl of fresh fruit. She took the time to show us how to operate the pellet stove and all the appliances and was very congenial and hung around to chat, making us feel welcome in her home. She had us up for breakfast at her place the next morning and we made a souffle breakfast for her the next day, so then she up the ante and made a delicious frittata the next day. When it was time to leave, she had made us snacks for the road. Lovely accommodations. Lots of room. Well laid out. Our best recommendations. Johnny and Heather

Rene was a great host. Always sure to make our needs were met and going the extra mile to make us feel at home. Would definitely stay again.

It was so lovely staying at Rene's place. She was an outstanding host and made us feel so welcomed. We had never had our host make us breakfast before, so that was an extra sweet delight. The landscape is gorgeous! Her wrap-around deck attracts a plethora of wildlife, from flickers to stellar jays. You will find the day pass by as you happily watch the birds come to feed. The suite is accessible to the main core of Gabriola; all the shops and restaurants are only about a 25 minute walk away. The pellet fire keeps the suite toasty warm, and the bed was delightfully cozy. We would happily stay here again!

Cosy cabin with a fantastic view. Well equipped kitchen and next to the Surf Pub and Restauraunt for those who want to eat out. Right on one of Gabriola’s most scenic stretches of waterfront.

We spent four days at the cottage in mid-August and had a lovely time. The location is equal parts quiet yet next door to a fine place for a drink & dinner and then quite close by car to the main shopping area. The cottage is cozy and well-furnished with fine views of the water and we felt very comfortable there with our three-month-old. Many thanks!

Kevin (Allison's husband) was our host for the weekend, he had many local tips, took great care of us and we truly enjoyed our sunny sunsets on the patio of our cabin. The cabin itself has all the amenities and special decor from Alison. The bed is super comfy and this is a perfect getaway (Gabriola is very good to tourists) for a weekend!

Tremendous views, peaceful and quiet. The sunsets are breathtaking and the location is private, yet close to amenities. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet Alison as she was called away for the week to the mainland. However, she provided all the information needed to allow us to find the cottage, gain entry, and settle in. We found the area quiet and located just across the frontage road from a lovely beach where you can watch the sunsets and spot the ferries making their way to and from Nanaimo. The cottage is very clean and the amenities adequate. The kitchen is well equipped and has a range/oven and refrigerator with freezer. There is sufficient kitchenware to cook your own meals as long as you keep it simple. There is no microwave, but that wasn't an issue for us. The bath features a roomy neo-angle shower, small sink vanity and toilet. Great bedding and an extremely comfortable queen-size bed are there for your comfort. Best sleep ever! The only WiFi connection seems to be an open one emanating from the Surf Lodge Pub next door. (It is very faint--can't be counted on. Hopefully you have your own connectivity. We didn't, but managed to get by.) There is no TV, or movies. But there are some enjoyable books. So if you are looking to disconnect--you will be very happy. (I read a couple of the books provided--one of the benefits of no TV or internet!) All in all--a very good home-away-from-home! Many thanks-

I highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway! Alison is an excellent host!

Cute, clean cottage with a beautiful ocean view.

Tranquil space on a beautiful island. Absolutely perfect to unwind.

Most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, truly like sleeping on a cloud. Nancy also went out of her way to let us know breakfast was ready because we slept in :)

Nancy was a lovely host. She is happy to give sight seeing information and cooks a wonderful breakfast! Her B&B is well situated by the village and close to the ferry and the Saturday Market.

What a beautiful, relaxing place with outstanding hospitality. I certainly recommend this place

Nancy was quick to respond and a great host!

Great location and having breakfast included was wonderful! The kids loved the bunk beds and our small doggies loved the big lot!

Good space, great surround sound and good location.

Great place to stay nice little yard for the dogs to play! We really enjoyed it and will be back 😊

Stayed at stephan’s place for two nights with my partner and my mom. Place was clean with quirky style. Easily accessible from the ferries and close to shops. Was super rainy but we still went out and adventured around the beautiful island :) For 3 of us we needed about 12 Litres of water for 3 days.

This is a great private and spacious place to stay in Gabriola. Very central and way to find. Amazing with two bedrooms and a fantastic TV room. Dining room and deck area with a BBQ. Real nice bedding with lots of comfy pillows. Everything you need to get away. We will be booking this space the next time we visit.

Stephen’s place was the perfect getaway for our family over the winter holidays. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Stephen!

A lovely place to stay! It's a beautiful location and Stephen was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating.

Excellent location with a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Very clean property with plenty of space to relax and unwind.

Well situated and cozy

Our stay was excellent! The place was absolutely spotless and very cozy. We especially appreciated all the breakfast items that were left and we would definitely stay there again.

The guesthouse was beautifully kept, clean and stocked. The beds were extremely comfortable . The house and property was very family friendly. It was warm and inviting. Stocked full of delicious breakfast foods (eggs, yogurt, milk, bread, coffee, tea, creamer, granola, fresh fruit), my husband is still talking about the granola (only one of the many wonderful touches). The hosts were very thoughtful. The entire house was stocked with everything you need and more for your stay. The location was amazing (2 minutes from the store and gas station). We would defiantly recommend anyone visiting Gabriola to stay here. Thank you for ensuring our weekend away was amazing.

Jessica and Aaron are great hosts! The cabin is impeccably clean and equipped with all the items for a very comfortable stay. The farm is amazing and Aaron was kind enough to take the time out of his busy day to show us around. The breakfast items were such a lovely touch with fresh eggs and delicious home made granola :)

Cozy, lovely spot. This place was perfect for our visit and family friendly with the farm and zip line. We will look forward to staying here again.

This stay was a lot of fun. It was a very nice experience to be in a cozy house next to many animals. The ingredients for breakfast were plentiful and fresh and the hosts very open and friendly. It was totally clean place. The ocean was just 30 minutes walk and the supermarket was also close and well equipped.

Adorable place, loved the breakfast items. Close to amenities 😃

Clean, cosy and peaceful place to stay. We were on a weekend retreat, so this was a perfect home base for the weekend. The fresh farm eggs and homemade granola were delicious. Thank you Aaron and Jessica!

This private, spacious cabin was perfect for our special weekend away. It’s obvious that the hosts took special care in making sure everything we might need was provided, including a wonderful assortment of breakfast foods for us to enjoy. My favourite part was enjoying our morning cooffee on the deck, and visiting the chickens & alpacas. We really enjoyed our visit to Gabriola, made all the better with such a pleasant stay at Aaron’s & Jessica’s.

We had a great stay at Park's place. She is a great host and was very quick to respond to our requests. The place is lovely and quiet, a great get away.

What an amazing place! We got to enjoy the sunrise from bed our bed and walk down to see the sunset. Only steps away from the most beautiful beach on the island! We will definitely be coming back, it surpassed all of our expectations. Thanks Park!

Thanks Park, we had a great time at your place! Your corner of Gabriola Island was a delightful area to stay.

Beautiful space and friendly hosts :)

A characterful cabin with a fully equipped kitchen and the most beautiful views! We enjoyed walking down to the beach for sunset and exploring what this lovely island has to offer, made even better with this special accommodation.

Great location! A wonderful shoreline walk (on a sandstone shelf) that starts directly from the property. We also were able to cycle around the island and eat tasty food at the nearby Surf Lodge Restaurant (a 10 minute walk). Clean, comfortable, basic accommodation on the second floor of a two-storey building (the ground floor is a storage unit). All the amenities that we needed. Attentive hosts (but not intrusive)... thanks for a great stay! We would stay here again.

A very private, rustic cabin, made of cedar next to fruit trees, and a vegetable gardens, with marvellous views out every window, and a short walk to Orlebar Point, for amazing views of Entrance Island lighthouse, and a sunset.

This is an amazing place to spend time on Gabriola Island. The Cottage is very quiet and peaceful and the view is absolutely stunning. We even saw whales passing by from our window. Park is a wonderful host who will make you feel very welcome and at home. We enjoyed our stay here very much, so much in fact, that we left after a five-day stay only to come back again for another four days ;)

It's indeed a great deal! Spotless, nice little extra's and great communication. Would recommend to anyone!

Amazing space!!

Accurately described in other reviews, nice little touches like bottles of water, easy instructions for use of an otherwise rather complicated TV remote, and a super comfortable mattress!

David & Donna's suite was fantastic. It was bright, clean, and comfortable, and in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood. There were lots of little extras like snacks, bottled water, and toiletry items. I was worried the ferry horns would bother us but we didn't hear them at all. We will definitely stay here again.

As well as having a great location, this suite is tastefully decorated and well appointed. Very comfortable for our two week stay.

Amazingly clean location, many thoughtful touches, and very convenient check-in. Very quiet and pleasant stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Really well fitted out suite. Clean & tidy with some great touches. Would definitely stay again.

Communication with David and Donna was excellent. They were very co-operative and although we had to cancel our trip to Nanaimo at the last minute they were very understanding. By their wonderful reviews and photos of their suite it shows how caring hosts they are. We will definitely book in the future.

The home is spacious and well appointed with gorgeous views and a wood fireplace. Beds were comfy and the island is fantastic.

I’ve thought about this review after the first morning and couldn’t wait to write it! “ Amazing experience “ is how we would describe our stay at Williams. Everything was just as described or better and lots of little touches to make it perfect. I would happily return and if kids allowed, book it every time we come down! Great host, great place and an awesome location!

Our second time staying at William's lovely house. Everything was as expected. Great place. Great location. Highly recommended.

An extremely charming and delightful getaway from the city. Beautiful ocean front home, with cozy fireplace and spacious master bedroom. Really appreciated the thoughtful touches to the place to make us feel really welcomed. We were there for New Year’s Eve and when we arrived there were new year’s decorations, gift baskets and complimentary wine all ready for us to ring in the new year! Definitely recommend.

This place is totally awesome. It looked great in photos, but was even more impressive in person. Huge, high ceilings with exposed wood beams. Enormous bedroom. Cozy fireplace. Expansive deck. Waterfront view. I loved everything about it. And William was friendly and quick to respond to all of my correspondence. Access was easy. I highly recommend this place. As long as you know how to start a fire! ;)

The house and room were spotless, the yard an house are absolutely amazing and it’s a great location! I would highly recommend you choose this property for your Gabriola stay!

Renay was a wonderful host. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the breakfast that she made for us. Homemade granola was excellent. The room was modern, clean and had everything we needed. Thank you for being such a great host Renay.

We had such a great stay here! Renay was quick to respond to us and very helpful. Really yummy breakfast of granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, and homemade muffins in the morning. Very clean and nice house. We would definitely stay here again! :)

Renay is a great host who goes the extra mike to accommodate her guests. We would stay again for sure.

Renay knows how to treat guests at the highest level of hospitality. Attention to detail, fresh / home made breakfast, comfortable bed, great location. WOULD RECOMMEND!! thanks again renay!!

Renay's home and hospitality are very high quality. If you are looking for a hotel-level experience combined with the warmth of an Air bnb, this is your place. It is a beautiful house, a delicious breakfast is provided and it's a very short drive to both the town and the ferry. We loved our private and cozy room. Would stay here again!

Couldn’t have been a more perfect place for my daughter and I to bike to and travel from all around the island. Amazing accommodations and hosts, will definitely come back 😀🚴‍♀️🎉

Renay is an amazing host with a gorgeous house. The rooms were absolutely wonderful, the garden and backyard space beautiful, and the breakfast Renay provided was the cherry on top! Highly recommend!

The house was lovely, peaceful and quiet. Communication was great, check-in went well and it is in a great location.

Serenity now indeed! This place is a dream! Charles is a fantastic host, very accommodating and prompt also very generous! We were very well taken care of by Charles and we were blown away by location and views! The place was super comfortable, very clean and had everything we needed! A+

Renay's b&b was a delight. Quiet and peaceful. Super clean, attractive and comfortable. We'll stay there again.

We had a great stay! It's so close to the main part of town (especially if you are on foot and take the shortcut) and the ferry terminal. The suite was super clean and Renay made a great breakfast (and was very accommodating to my food allergies!). I'd definitely recommend this place!

It's a nice place! Also Renay is very nice host! I had a great time there because of her. I'd love to go there again.

A beautiful home located in a quiet private spot. Breakfast was yummy and we enjoyed meeting the other guests. Great communication with our host and she gave us lots of site seeing tips. We had a lovely visit and would stay with Renay again.

We stayed in the Arbutus room... very clean and spacious. Very close to town, but so nice and. quiet. Renay and her husband were wonderful. Will definitely recommend to friends and family

Loved it!

Great place to stay, ample room, friendly hosts and tasty breakfast.

It is a beautiful property with amazing gardens, cute spaces and we loved our clean cozy room suite. The hosts were friendly and knowledgeable about the beautiful island. We would recommend this to our friends!

Be prepared for an wonderfull and relaxing stay.

Wonderful cottage just steps from the beach access trail. Very well outfitted kitchen. And just an over all nice vibe about the place.

It’s a magical place. Don’t tell anyone

This is such a lovely cottage. Basic amenities but in such a serene and spectacular location. A great value and a very special place.

We can’t say enough good things about Christine's cottage! It is cozy, yet was more than enough room for my husband and our two kids to have a wonderful weekend. It has all the comforts you could ask in and off the grid cottage and was sparkling clean. The house is located very close to two beach access points and the ocean can be seen from the front porch. Christine was a great host and we will certainly be back!

Christine's place is an awesome getaway. It was the perfect vacation from our home on the Sunshine Coast and our second time visiting her home. We love it and will be back again soon. Thanks again Christine!

One of the best features of this little yellow cabin is how bright it is inside with skylights in the bathroom and the kitchen. It has a nice setting in the forest and is located close to beach access. A true little island gem!

Great place in a beautiful location.
