Wonderful Stay !

We stayed two nights at the BoomBoat suite. It was very clean and comfortable with beautiful and thoughtful attention to detail. The suite is cozy with a nice private outdoor space and a well organized kitchen. Denise and Don were welcoming and kind, respectful of privacy but available if needed. Our pup also enjoyed the stay watching the chipmunks running up the hill outside the window ! Very quiet and private - highly recommend if you are headed to the North Island. Oh ! the gallery is amazing!! worth spending some time there...

Great hidden gem

Very lovely spot for a get away. Very accommodating, and definitely would stay there again. They really have everything you need and the space is so cozy and welcoming. Denise and Don had numerous suggestions that really made our road trip back south top notch! Only thing I’d suggest is maybe a broom so we could have cleaned up after ourselves the way I like to when I leave a place/maintain while I’m there. They’ve got all the basics covered of what you need. The cove down the road is such a cute spot to walk around and enjoy a lovely sunset! I could go on but my number one suggestion is talk to them - they’ve got so many great ideas to make the most of your stay! (Plus you can’t miss the gallery!)

Home away from home

Denise and Don have created a wonderfully comfortable and unique space with one of a kind artistic touches. What amazing hosts: generous and kind, informative and helpful, and they had the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space. We have no hesitation recommending a stay with them.

Autumn in Telegraph Cove

Autumn in Telegraph Cove is a very chill and quiet time. All the rest of the tourists have headed home, and it's mostly locals and the foolhardy adventurous sort of traveller. Denise and Don's property was cozy and quiet with all the amenities you could as for as self-reliant guest, and afforded me a great base where I could enjoy breakfast and dinner, and prepare lunches for days exploring the north end of the Island. Denise was super helpful and welcoming, and I'd recommend staying here either as a stormy adventure in the offseason or as a destination vacation in the summer.

Charming and unique

Such a charming “cabin” with unique features! Our only complaint is that the futon couch was not super comfy to sit on while watching TV at night. But in an area like this there isn’t much time to sit inside anyway.

Boom Boat Suite

Our stay at the Boom Boat suite was very relaxing with a lovely back yard with a bubbling fountain. The suite was very clean and quiet with new appliances. The futon was new and comfortable. The hosts are on site if you required anything. We will stay again.
