The Anchorage

Our largest cottage is a carefully renovated 1970's bungalow. Tastefully decorated with lots of great colour schemes, The Anchorage is a snug and cozy retreat for a family or group.  The cottage has two bedrooms on the main floor with a queen bed in the master bedroom and two twin beds in the second bedroom.  Downstairs there is a third bedroom containing a double and a twin bed, a separate 'rec room' with a hide-a-bed, TV and DVD player and an open area with a Ping-Pong table, dart board and other games.  Outdoors we have added a Pergola to the front deck over which a mature Wisteria vine frames the view of Northumberland Strait from the lounge chair.  Our best idea was the addition of a large screened-in deck - perfect for outdoor cooking and eating. We'll show you how to prepare mussels or lobster in the big propane cooking pot - a feast best enjoyed outdoors with rolled up sleeves!

The Studio

So called, because it is a weaving studio in its ‘winter life’.  In the summer it becomes a private, beautiful cottage.  The Studio is the renovated granary from the original homestead.  It literally housed the grain!  Our property dates back to the early 1900’s – not so old – yet, until the mid 80’s, it was a working farm complete with Scottish Highland cattle, goats, chickens and very hard working people.  In 2004 the granary was the focus of an ambitious renovation from which it emerged with a beautiful loft-style upper floor  with lots of windows, a sunrise balcony, sky-lights and 3-piece bath. Comfortably accommodates four guests (in one room) in the queen bed and a futon. There is a well set up kitchen downstairs with four burner stove, microwave, fridge and utensils.   The weaving loom rests in its own space enjoying a well deserved break from winter projects.  A comfortable lounge area looks out across the patio deck to views of big open fields edged by tall spruce trees.  The Studio is a creative space that lends itself to a solo journey, for whatever purpose - writing, painting, healing or simply rest and time alone.

The Beach House

The beach house is a new addition. Built in 2007 on the shores of Gascoigne Cove, it is the essence of simplicity, both in design and intent.  Off the grid, cooking facilities are a ‘camp kitchen’ with two-burner stove, coolers and basic utensils.  Comfortably sleeps up to 4 on futon and floor pads.  The chairs and picnic table on the large outside decks provide wonderful views of the Gascoigne Cove and outer reach.  The beach path puts you only a hop, skip and a jump away from the water’s edge where you will find canoe and kayaks waiting for you.  A short paddle across the cove takes you to the ‘outer reach’ and miles  more peace and quiet.  The only sounds at night are the seals calling to each other on the sand bar.

Boating equipment – two kayaks, a canoe and all safety gear are available for the use of guests with certain restrictions.  Please ask for details when you arrive.  All equipment is in very good condition.
