This is a beautiful property that I'm worried we visited on a bit of an off week as the proprietor had just returned from vacation.
The good -
The property and area really are quite beautiful, and we had a lovely view from our room. Breakfast was high quality, and what of it I could have (pregnant, so no runny eggs or cured meats) was tasty. The hosts make great recommendations and can book reservations and excursions for guests. The jetted tub was a welcome surprise.
The could-be-improved -
Note that if you book thru a 3rd party, you will not receive any communication prior to arrival and will need to remember that there is a 2hr check-in window. This was an issue for us as our ferry from Vancouver arrived late.
The suite we had wasn't in full working order as both the light in the stairwell entry and cooking range weren't working. We only discovered the latter after buying groceries to make a late dinner on our last night after a busy day of sightseeing, and so went to bed hungry (I'm pregnant so that was not fun. In my mind, if a major facility of the suite isn't functioning, that should be called out at check-in and some reasonable accommodation made.) Various conveniences were missing - anywhere to charge a phone next to the bed, trash bin in kitchen, cream(er) for morning coffee (the pod coffee was pretty bad anyway), and though the bed seemed comfy at first, I woke up both nights with hip/back pain. Not exactly the 5-star experience I had hoped for, sadly.
