This was our second visit to Island Escape and it never disappoints. We love the peacefulness this escape gives us. We enjoyed seeing deer, grilling out, playing cards and listening to old records. The house is always very clean and well stocked with cookware, towels and games. The hosts are so kind and are always very quick to respond to any questions.

This is our second Father's Day in a row visiting this special cabin on Drayton island. We were incredibly lucky to find it last year. As a family we have fallen in love with this island life. The memories that we've shared will be life-long, and wonderful. The hosts treat us wonderfully and the environment is simply unbelievable; dear walking around the house at night in the morning, fish jumping at the dock, and just it just a 10 minute ride to either Silver Glen or Salt spring. A short boat ride to Renegades for diner, or Idlewild for breakfast, and again great Father's Day memories!
