"The Boathouse is a real boathouse, complete with private dock and rowing dinghy ... it's wonderful going to sleep to the sound of the waves."

-from Frommer's Travel Guide (3rd Edition) "Victoria's Best Bets"


“...this cottage can't be beat for charm, coziness and cleanliness.”

- from "The Best Places to Kiss in The Northwest"


"We adored this immaculate sliver of paradise and sparkling reminder of the serenity and beauty of the West Coast that we should never take for granted. The Boathouse rates five stars (*****), and you can quote me on that!"

-Michael D. Reid, Times-Colonist

(Movie reviewer for Victoria's daily newspaper)


"It is truly a lovely place to escape to: warm wood floors, stained glass, fresh white paint, shiny, clean French windows and soft warm breezes! Everything comfy and cozy with our every comfort and whim anticipated by our perfect hosts: even flannel sheets, snugly chairs for reading, delicious muffins and blackberry jam that tastes like summer, warm and sweet! Thank you for providing such a special place to share with travelers seeking a tad of adventure and an immense amount of serenity!"

-Kathy and Skip, Portland, OR


"Finally, an ideal setting for total relaxation. The serenity and quaintness here are only surpassed by your gracious hospitality and careful attention to detail. Yours is the definitive ‘waterfront  cottage’.”

-Yolande and Dave, Vancouver, B.C.


"For a wedding night, this was beautiful and most perfect! I can't picture a more idyllic place!"

-Peter and Suzanne (MV Anastasis)


"We loved watching the resident Harbour Seal, the Great Blue Heron, the Kingfisher and the Bald Eagles. To come 'home' to a cottage filled with hand-crafted pottery, homemade jam and fresh fruit, was wonderful. You have restored your cottage with an eye to every detail."

-Joyce and Felix, New York, N.Y.


"The waterfront cottage will stay as the icing on the cake of our visit here."

-Ron and Andrea, Kaiserstuhl, Switzerland
