"Interesting driftwood art. Property shows sign of neglect..could be much prettier with a little more effort. Missed daily housekeeping so we were not advise need to request it via door messaging."
"My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary on Quadra Island and an amazing time! Raven cottage was wonderful. Everything we needed was provided. Only downside was the bed is quite high as I’m 5’3”. Luckily we had small step stool in our vehicle. Michelle was very quick with a response if we had any questions. Would stay again and definitely recommend the cottage!"

10/10 Excellent
"Can't say enough positive things about this property. The view, especially, was exceptional. Sitting on the deck, watching the eagles fly overhead, listening to the birdsongs was so relaxing. The house was spotless and the modern kitchen had everything we needed. The property was close to shopping, beach walks, and hikes. Communication with the host was excellent. Would love to come back."
Perfect getaway. Spectacular mountain and ocean view. Steps to the beach.
10/10 Excellent

"Charming Cabin's Retreat: Pet-Friendly Haven with Sauna, Close to Stores, Lakes
10/10 Excellent
"This little cabin is a peaceful haven on a island populated by the loveliest people you could ever hope to meet - smiles and chit chats available everywhere. It was our first visit to Cortes Island and we fell in love with the place. We look forward to the next chance to visit."
Cabins on Cortes Island, pet friendly, private near lake on large property.
10/10 Excellent
"Property was perfect, had sauna bbq and 2 outdoor fire pits. One propane one wood. Kitchen had great amenities. Lovely large bathroom. Interior had a layout that made it easy to shift from group activities to eating. Spacious for food prep.
Main critique would be place is advertised as fully fenced for dogs, but main gate to road was always open (reopened even after we shut it) and other small gates on the property also left open.
Bonus for aging knees would be padded matt in the loft instead of rope-style matt."
