About this property
Oceanfront Views, Full Kitchen, Wi-Fi ~ Where the Forest Meets the Ocean
Escape to Montague Harbour to a beautiful home where the Forest meets the Ocean. Your adventure begins with a complimentary boat pickup! Our little magical Island is Parker Island which is between Galiano Island & Saltspring Island. We are part of the beautiful Gulf Islands in BC & a ferry ride away from the city of Victoria, BC. Parking for your car is available (complimentary) where we will personally meet you and bring you across calm waters to our residential-only island. The scenic crossing takes just 10 minutes and is safe, smooth, and serene—perfect for easing into tranquil Island life.
We will arrive at our dock where perhaps our residential seal will pop up to welcome you! We will help you unload your luggage & food and transport you via our vehicle a short two minute ride up to the beautiful cottage for you to settle in.
The cottage is beautiful, bright and new offering a spacious feeling with the vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light. Peaceful views of nature from every window will quickly embrace you to slide into the slower tranquility of "Island Life".
In addition to the two fully enclosed bedrooms, there is also a spacious Loft area accessible by ladder only. (If you are wanting to use these beds please ensure you are fully comfortable to climb the secured ladder to this space). The Loft area features two Queen beds with a privacy curtain between the beds. Please note that while the Loft is very open and comfortable it is not full ceiling height. These two beds are a wonderful area if you are having an escape weekend with teens or young adults ~ you have the full cottage while they have their private space in the Loft for their own privacy. The Loft is also a wonderful space if you want to share the cottage with friends and each want your own bed. (4 guests included in posted price ~ $75.00 per guest per night may be added with 6 guests being maximum). Please note we are strict with our No Pets policy.
We offer you a unique escape to tranquility surrounded by ten acres of serene forest and two private West Coast style beaches. The terrain offers areas of hills and flatter areas for your choice. No matter which walking areas you choose, sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended for your enjoyment as the terrain is uneven. No paved roads or paths on our tranquil Island!
You can enjoy relaxing on the beaches, in a hammock in our private forest area or by a cozy fire (depending on fire bans), Our personal property is beautiful to walk around and enjoy scenic views ~ sturdy walking shoes recommended. Watch the seals, eagles, sunsets, sunrises & nighttime star gazing to decompress & enjoy nature.
This is How to Arrive ~ Begin your journey with a scenic ferry ride aboard BC Ferries to Sturdies Bay Terminal located on Galiano Island. (We strongly suggest advance reservations to avoid disappointment due to no space on the ferry).
Upon disembarking from the scenic BC Ferries journey you will then drive the peaceful 10-minute drive to Montague Harbour Marina. Complimentary parking is available & super easy to locate. We’ll meet you at Montague Marina to bring you across calm waters in our private boat. The crossing takes just 10 minutes and is safe, smooth, and a beautiful way to begin your stay on our residential-only private island.
Coming from Tswassen BC Ferry Terminal your ferry ride is about 55 minutes. (This is the side closest to Vancouver).
Coming from Swartz Bay BC Ferry Terminal your ferry ride is about 90 minutes. (This is the side closest to Victoria).
You can also choose to arrive by SeaAir Float plane to Montague Marina. We can see the float plane dock from our property.
****Very Important Note: No Grocery Stores (or other amenities) on our Island. Please arrive fully stocked with all your food and beverages. We will help you load onto the boat. The kitchen is super well equipped to enjoy preparing your food.****
****Galiano Island has a **few** options for groceries and supplies before you reach the Marina, but we do recommend ***planning ahead and shopping before your arrival.**** The stores might not have what you want and also may be closed. We will stock the kitchen with Coffee & Tea, Sugar, Honey, Olive Oil & Vinegar, S&P, as well as some basic herbs & spices. We do live on the property so might be able to help you with a condiment/grocery item forgotten.****
We love the tranquility of our Island and would love to share it with you. We do have a few other neighbors on the Island sometimes but we love to meet new people! We are here to answer questions and ensure you are comfortable but will give you complete privacy at all times.
Our guests, family & friends who visit always have the same parting comment ~ "I'm not ready to leave".

We loved hosting the two of you & having you enjoy the tranquility of our property. You both have beautiful calming energy ~ perfect vibes for our little Island!
Fantastic family-friendly property with a beautiful ocean view. It was a pleasure to meet Roxanne and Miles and stay in their beautiful cabin. The cabin has all the amenities that you need and is very comfortable for game nights or just watching the boats go by. Will definitely be booking again.

We look forward to having your family again! So happy you had fun playing games ~ I heard "Clue" was a favorite!
One never knows what boat might pass through Montague!
Roxanne and Miles provide such a relaxing, and unique experience on their remote island. They insured that your every need was taken care of. The cabin was absolutely beautiful, extremely clean, and very thoughtfully stocked. We really enjoyed walks on the island, as well as exploring the surrounding waters. We look forward to returning to this little gem.

Thank you for a lovely review. We are truly enjoying hosting & especially meeting friendly couples like yourselves! We love that you enjoyed exploring the beautiful nature we are so fortunate to be surrounded by. Our hearts will be so happy to host the two you again!
Miles and Roxanne were very welcoming and was very helpful in moving our luggage on to the boat and into our stay. The loge was clean, comfortable and a great place to stay during the summer. They provided us kayaks and games and it was lovely to see all the nature around us. Would love to come back again! Thanks for the amazing experience!!!!!!

You three ladies were such a pleasure it made hosting very enjoyable! So happy you saw so many seals while out kayaking!
Great cabin on Parker Island. The place was immaculate, probably the cleanest property I have stayed at. Miles was an excellent host; helpful, friendly and accommodating. There are lots of fun things to do in the surrounding area and beaches. Will be back.

We would love to have you back! So happy you enjoyed our "playground of nature"!
We had a great trip! Roxanne and Miles were responsive and incredibly friendly throughout our stay. The accommodation was clean and spacious, and well stocked with everything you’d need. The island itself is peaceful and relaxing, and everyone we spoke to was very friendly

Thank you Bayley! It was a pleasure to have your group & feel your enjoyment of our little piece of paradise we love sharing!
We had such a wonderful stay. The cottage is gorgeous. It’s newly built, beds & linen are super comfortable, all of the appliances are top notch and the kitchen has everything. My kids and I loved playing at the nearby beach and kayaking over to a lovely beach off Galiano. The hosts are so thoughtful and accommodating. They really made our stay extra special. We would love to stay here again.

Thank you! You & your boys were a pleasure to host! We loved that the three of you had fun enjoying the beach & nature. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
We had a wonderful stay at Roxanne and Myles’ place! It was a fun adventure getting over there on their boat, and they were so hospitable - fabulous baked goods and as much or as little interaction as we chose. It almost felt like visiting old friends. The rental property is newly built and has a big deck with lovely ocean view fringed by beautiful tall trees. Everything was really thoughtfully laid out and very tastefully decorated. They let us use their kayaks and we brought paddle boards and had fun puttering around on them. You can easily paddle across to a Galiano beach and park if you want to explore more. We definitely hope to be back!

So happy your group enjoyed! We loved seeing your group enjoy the company of each other while doing outdoor activities. Our property is great for everyone to fit their own individual needs while also enjoying the group they came with. Sometimes a hammock calls or sometimes a kayak!
Roxanne and Miles’ place on Parker Island was amazing (quote from my 6 year old). They made it SO easy to get to. We were a bit worried about the check in process with two littles, but it was so smooth. Miles picked us up directly at the dock and helped us with all our bags. The boat ride was a blast, but super quick. We were met by Roxanne at the Parker Island dock. She took us up for a tour of the property and Miles managed all of our bag. When we were done the tour, our bags were at the cabin door, ready to be unpacked. And the process was just as smooth on departure. The property was beautiful and peaceful, with tons to keep us busy. Between the acres of land to explore, the crafts and toys Roxanne put out of our girl, the next door goats, the beaches and the kayaks, we were never without something to do! Roxanne and Miles even provided freshly baked goodies! We will be back for sure!!

Thank you! We both love our property & feel it is a special place! It makes us so happy when guests settle in and enjoy the peacefulness & tranquility. Our grandkids think its fun to share their crafts & toys with their unknown "Cottage Fairy Guests". We would love to welcome you back anytime!
Thanks to Miles & Roxanne, we spent a beautiful family-day (& Valentines) weekend on Parker Island. Our first overnight trip in our new boat was so cool with their dock and short walk to their beautifully-appointed cabin. Everything was exquisitely clean and thoughtfully-stocked for our family -- we even brought my elderly dad who enjoyed the woodstove and water view from the deck. The kids loved the goats next door and we walked the Island loop -- all together it was an extraordinarily fun and surprisingly whimsical weekend, full of roasted marshmallows, art, Winter Olympics, and laughing Buddhas.

We are so happy you all enjoyed! It was a pleasure to have your family & share what we feel is a little slice of paradise. The goats always love company too!
Such lovely and welcoming hosts! The four of us (2 adults, 2 kids) had such a nice stay. We had the beaches and forest entirely to ourselves. The house was so comfortable and had everything we needed plus some bonuses which the kids loved. Thank you so much for letting us unwind on your beautiful island! We can’t wait to come again!

We would be so happy to welcome you back! It is truly a pleasure for us to watch guests enjoy tranquility & recharge themselves amongst nature.
This property is hands down the nicest place I’ve been to, and I’ve seen my fair share of nice places. The island itself is private, quiet, and peaceful, the cottage was perfect for our family of 5, and our hosts made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. We immensely enjoyed the amenities included, and my daughter loved the craft table that was set up for her. My teenage boys were able to explore the area safely, and my daughter loved being able to go beach comb. My husband and I were able to relax on hammocks and enjoy fresh baked muffins. We will be coming back!

Was a pleasure to watch your family explore the area ~ and for you & your husband to enjoy some relaxation time. We loved watching your boys explore the rocks ~ our grandson's love climbing the rocks too! Your kids are so friendly & so polite ~ and the artwork left for me will be a warm memory of your visit here.
Our family holiday to Parker Island was exemplary in every way. The accommodation was outstanding, clean, well appointed and comfortable. Perfect for family time, walks on the beach, kayaking and sunset watching. The hosts were so wonderful, easy to contact if needed, and although we wanted for nothing, they went above and beyond to make our stay awesome.

So happy you enjoyed the peace & beauty of our property. We would love to host you again ~ winter is super cozy in the cottage with the woodstove......and outdoor fires roasting marshmallows!
I love meeting people & sharing our Island of quietness & stillness. I enjoy seeing people unwind, relax, enjoy slowing down and leaving with a renewed feeling of rejuvenation.
