Really good experience!
Our hosts, Nancy and Gregory, are really lovely people. They were wonderfully welcoming, helpful, and generous. The "Hobbit" cabin is great, and has the unique Gulf Island charm. It's clean, comfortable, and nicely put together with lots of thoughtful personal touches from Nancy and Gregory. We plan to stay again, and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting a calm retreat while exploring Gabriola Island.

The best breakfast on the island
Nancy was the most gracious hostess serving us breakfast each morning with a smile and suggesting which attractions might be of interest to us. The fact that there was no television or radio made this hideaway all the more Zen for us Thank you for such a peaceful two days on Gabriella Island

Beautiful property, delicious food, lovely hosts
The Hobbit is a quaint cottage on Gabriola Island - tight quarters for 4, but definitely do-able. Breakfast was included (lovely surprise!) & hosts Nancy & Gregory were accommodating of our food allergies. It rained a lot the week we were there and nothing dried, which is not unusual for the lower mainland, but also meant towels and clothes all stayed damp (although they asked if we wanted the towels laundered midweek). Bring extra clothes and rain gear as we couldn't find laundry services on the island. Overall a fantastic stay at the Hobbit.

Above and beyond
We loved our stay in this sweet little cottage last week (aug/24). The cottage is cute and colorful, and close enough to walk to ocean views. Gregory and Nancy were very welcoming and friendly, and you can tell they’ve put a lot of love into their Hobbit (as well as into their breakfasts 😍). They went above and beyond in notifying us of ferry cancelations, knowing we were on a set deadline. We would happily stay with them again!

Our honeymoon getaway
This property and our hosts Nancy and Gregory are absolute gems. We arrived just after 2 pm and were greeted by our friendly hosts and their beautiful pup Surfer. The check in process was super simple and they made us feel comfortable right away. The cabin itself was perfect, and everything we needed was provided for us. The full breakfast we were served was delicious. Even though the hosts live in close proximity to the cabin, we never felt a lack of privacy. We had a lovely 2 night stay and we were so enamored with the firepit that was provided for us, that we went out and bought one as soon as we got home. We would definitely stay again and will recommend this heavenly little cabin to everyone we can. Thank you so much for being the perfect hosts.

Relaxing stay for family of three
We had a great stay at the hobbit cottage. The cottage was the perfect size for two adults and our two year old. Nancy and Gregory are fantastic hosts, they were friendly and welcoming but gave us lots of space to enjoy the peaceful setting of their home. The breakfasts were a real treat! We hope to be back.

Thank you!
Our hosts were kind and thoughtful; we appreciated them and the delicious breakfasts! They do have a loud dog, so if anyone is afraid of pups, I would let the hosts know before you arrive so they can accommodate you.

Peace and quite, but a short distance from all the usual amenities.
The cabin looks and feels exactly like the photograph. Rustic and quirky, but also very comfortable. Our hosts Greg and Nancy were welcoming, fun to be with and fed us the most wonderful breakfasts. We couldn't have been happier.
