Thought I’d share this video. We are fortunate to live here on the Salish Sea. Enjoy!

I feel very lucky to have had many great guests from all over the world.
I put out the scrabble Welcome and now I’m getting messages back!
How nice is this!!

An aerial view of Birds eye Cove, Maple bay marina and our subdivision. We are lucky to live here.

Beach walk today at a very low tide and found some purple starfish. They were huge!

06/09/2022

So happy that the warmer weather is upon us now and spring flowers are out in full force. Hubby is finding some creatures as he often does. A Cinnabar moth and a small salamander?

Really enjoying getting out for some great hikes. Saw an eagle diving in the water and then swimming to shore yesterday.
❤️ this place called Maple bay!

Found a new trail on Stoney hill. Short but steady uphill climb but well worth the view from the top.
Above Birds Eye Cove farm.

We live in such a beautiful area. I’m finding new hikes all the time. Thanks Linda for showing me these new places to hike. Maple Mountain

05/30/2022

Beautiful day for a hike with a friend.
I haven’t been to Cobble Hill Mtn for a long time. It didn’t let me down in both the “butt” burn and the view from the top. My friend Linda then made some hot tea in her little single camp burner and the tea went nicely with the zuchini brownies I brought.

We are so happy Spring is almost here. Summer is starting to fill up and a new booking for winter 2023 already!

02/13/2022

Our little escape has begun. Watching our first sunset of many and enjoying the sand beneath our feet.

Sunny but cold day from above Maple Bay Marina

Too cold to sit out here right now but love the sun across the snow here
at Maple bay.
Happy New Year’s Eve everyone 🎉

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all our former and future guests booked for 2022. We wish you all the best in health and happiness.

Visited the Malahat Skywalk again but this time on a weekday and hardly anyone there. We braved the slide this time. You have to try it. So fast!! My Aunt from Winnipeg chickened out.

It’s really official, Phil has retired! 40 years in the flooring industry.
After taking in a hike around Stoney Hill, his brother Bruce and his wife Joanne treated us to a fabulous dinner at the Alpina restaurant at the Villa Eyerie resort. The food and service were the best we’ve ever had and the views were spectacular. The clouds added some gorgeous colour to the beautiful sunset. So so memorable.
We plan on having a bigger celebration for him at a later date.

Loved the big mast and the wooden rings on the Providence. Built in 1903!

08/29/2021

A total surprise for my husband Phil.
A sunset cruise on a tall ship
“The Providence”, built in 1903. Very cool 3 hour cruise. The weather was perfect too! My highlight was when they hoisted the big main sail.

08/26/2021

We don’t want summer to end do we?

07/22/2021

A must see attraction for our area. We visited the new Malahat Skywalk

07/09/2021

The flowers are loving this beautiful sunshine. And so are we!

07/08/2021

The gardens are starting to look quite full and lots of flowers. No shortage of bees here.

07/07/2021

Great for my guests to enjoy some outdoor music.

5pm Rockland Moran his slide capabilities and knowledge of the blues genre gives us a fine evening of the acoustic guitar defining the blues

Malahat SkyWalk is an accessible 600m TreeWalk through beautiful arbutus forest leading to a spectacular gentle spiral ramp that takes you up 32m to a sightseeing lookout offering views of Finlayson Arm, Saanich Peninsu...

We recently visited Merridale Cidery and it was fantastic. We recently went gluten free and they had a gluten free pizza crust and gluten free brioche buns options on their menu. So delicious and we’d highly recommend eating here.

We are happy to be welcoming the first of many Canadian visitors tomorrow on the first day of summer.

Stay a little longer in downtown Duncan to have some lunch.

Welcome to this summer's grand opening of the Station Street Common! Thanks to the City of Duncan - Local Government for their partnership in this project. We hope everyone will come together to safely enjoy takeout food from local restaurants and the ambiance of downtown Duncan in the summer. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements about this space, and please remember to respect this park by cleaning up after yourself.

Stopped by the The Fox and Hounds to deliver their Dine & Sip Cowichan participant swag, and gabbed some Bangers and Mash for lunch - YUM!!
