Spring
at the Cabin 
Your exquisite attention to detail indoors and out while creating total
harmony with nature is truly a masterpiece. Such a tranquil setting and so
appreciated by us.
J & SB - Vancouver, BC
I've spent the last 2 months visiting the most
amazing places as I sailed across South Pacific. I will have to
add this place to my list. The cabin, the view, the gardens, all
beautiful and will always be cherished. In front of the fire one
evening, the man I loved asked me to be his wife! Thank you for
creating the perfect surrounding for my perfect moment.
Wow! If I knew such a place existed so close
to the city I might have more hair! So peaceful. Thank-you for
sharing your treasure with so many people. That such a system
works in this day and age speaks volumes for all of us.

This cabin and property is heaven! During our
four years in Canada, we have traveled extensively,
PEI, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ont., Man., NWT,
Rockies in Alberta, B.C.,
and now the Sunshine Coast. Seldom were we
able to relax as much as here.
Your place is just what I needed to slow myself
down from the business of the world. Everything you have created
seems to come from your heart and it really shows. Your place
has inspired me to look for what I have in my life and what I
value, and it has given me the drive to start researching and
looking for my own piece of heaven, paradise and tranquility on
earth. Thank-you so much for all your special little touches that
usually make a world of difference. We will be back!

John, I sit to write something in your book
and realize that it is hard to come by words
to describe you have captured/created on this property. I have
been amazed, enchanted
and captivated. My body and soul have been
given the chance to heal and rejuvenate, it was what I needed.
The quiet, the calmness,
and tranquility. I will return and one day
would like to hear stories of your travels and the life choices
you made to create
this wonderful paradise.
V - Vancouver
Thank-you very much for sharing this serene
and tranquil place. We enjoyed discovering each piece of semi
hidden statuary and the secret fountains on the walk down the
hill. Thanks also for arranging the bald eagles to welcome us
to the beach. As this was our final romantic get a way before
the arrival of our first child, we appreciate the quiet environment
you have created!

Autumn
at the Cabin 
We have been coming to Canada
for vacations since 1994 - Lake Louise, Harrison Hot Springs,
and Vancouver. Now "the Sunshine Coast" is a wonderful addition
to places we will want to return.
We are so a happy to be back
in our home away from home - as always every detail is perfect.
Our exceptional getaway in this hectic world.
We had the most incredible times in this romantic hideaway. With the
change in seasons, it was especially beautiful here.
Words cannot describe the amazing all in such detail of your paradise
that made our get-a-way from the city so special. With all of the gorgeous
nature surrounding us here it made it so easy for me to put all of the everyday
stresses behind and just relax
Halfmoon Bay cabin was definitely a taste of true satisfaction for the
mind body and soul a pure joy to welcome fall in the year! The feather bed
was a nice touch!
A.B. - West Vancouver
We had a lovely time here. The children were delighted with the rainforest
gardens, so many little surprises to discover We recently added a pond to our
garden so the waterfall was fascinating to us I am sure few other guests spent
as much time admiring the back of the falls as we did. What a masterful use
of natural landscape and carefully selected plants I am in awe and very inspired.

Winter
at the Cabin 
As a food and travel journalist, I've overnighted
at some of the best. 8617 Redroofs Rd., is second to none. - and it's the finest
inclusions in the guide book, Vancouver Best Places.
From the generosity of condiments, to the
unique collection of antique magazines in the "loo", to the snuggly flannel
sheets that grace the bed - we truly love the warmth and comfort you have created
here.
Thank-you so much for the opportunity to spend
a relaxing weekend in this enchanted cabin. What a magical spot! The feel of
the cabin and its surroundings along with your personal touches and attention
to detail made us feel more at home and cozy than we could imagine. Just what
we needed to refresh ourselves from the city. Thanks again for sharing your “Utopia” Can’t
wait till we return.

Summer
at the Cabin 
Simply Enchanting! Every moment spent
together here with my family has been magical. The cabin,
so warm and comfortable, the garden is paradise and the
ocean is always so majestic- to us prairie people. It was
great to see my children 5, 8, and 10 work together to
explore the gardens and to build castle fortresses before
the tide could wash them away. They have reconnected in
a way they can’t in our very busy lives. It was delightful
to re awaken all my senses to the sights, scents, and sounds
and most of all too just be able to “be” with my husband.
Thank-you.
L L & Family - Edmonton
I can hardily agree with the litany
of praise contained in your guest
books. The most difficult thing I had to
do during our stay was decide if I wanted
to sit admiring the waterfall or
rest at a higher point above the castle,
to get a broader view of the landscape
and beautiful surroundings. The plentiful
supply of staple items like coffee filters,
all were conducive to our comfort
and enjoyment. Thank-you very much
for all of it. We certainly hope to be back

On a trip to a resort or botanical gardens
one expects to see beautiful gardens, mostly these do not
live up to our expectations. Visiting here it feels as
if the unexpected abundance of beauty surprises us at every
turn, finding yet another hidden beach, looking at a view
of a snow capped mountain through the leaves of a palm
- it’s great!
R.M. - New York
When we arrived, we entered the steep
driveway and felt we were entering into Bali. We go out
onto the beach, and thought we were in Nova Scotia. When
we entered the cabin, through the gardens, to be met by
music, flowers, and comfort, we felt we had come "home"!
If only this place wasn’t 6000 miles
away! We wanted somewhere idyllic for our honeymoon and
this has provided everything we dreamt of. Not only is
the cabin exactly what we dreamed it would be, but the
location and the people have made the past 2 weeks that
little more special I do not know how we will be able to
wake up without the spectacular views or the eagles overhead!
G& A - St. Albans, England
Here we are again at our home away from
home.Once again the cabin and it’s surroundings have worked
it’s magic. What a place to come charge your batteries.
We have the peace and tranquility, sunsets and the beach,
the fresh smell in the air, so many things. This year we
discovered the wonderful food and ambiance at the Blue
Heron Inn, what a delight.
J & R - Chilliwack, BC
What a beautiful, enchanting environment!
Blissful. We really enjoyed our visit; it has reaffirmed
our idea that this is a wonderful part of the earth. Staying
at this cabin was the icing in the cake!
M&M - Nebraska
We have vacationed in a number of places,
world-wide. Until now, we thought the location and quality
of places we visited would never equal Salcombe, in Southern
England. We were wrong. What you have restored, created,
is matchless!
Our family was looking forward to spending
some quality time together in the sun and water. What an
unexpected joy it was to discover this paradise. Every
corner held a beautiful surprise. Thank you. You have truly
made an enchanted land.
J, D, B & J - Airdrie, Alta.
What a lovely place to relax and enjoy
loved ones, from early morning coffee on the upper deck
exploring duck rock, (the starfish are an amazing purple
at low tide), the Jacuzzi tub, sunsets from the cabana
deck, out door showers after dark a definite must try,
warm crackling fires when its raining outside, everything
was perfect!
D.P - Calgary, AB
Even though we never met, my mother and
sister and I have talked about you much wondering with
curiosity and amazement about who you are to construct
and create this ‘Shangri-la’. To be on the receiving end
of such thoughtful planning is rare! Your sensitivity to
beauty, function, and comfort keeps me muttering myself “this
guy is a genius! We had laughter, music, sunsets, and scrabble
and in this beautiful place also the time to be alone together.
G, B & E - Vancouver
We have loved the mystery and magic of
this place. Some things we have learned here, everyone
should have an out door shower, little boys never tire
of throwing rocks in the water, and sunshine, trees and
sunsets can wash away a years worth of stress!
