Driftwood Village Cottages

Good stay in a beautiful,...

Liked: Beautiful setting, surrounded by rainforest. Weather was decent for March on the PNW. Ferry horns would pull me to the main window during the daytime and in the evenings to get a glimpse of ferries passing by. If I wanted an unimpeded view, there were several lookouts within easy walk, and one within a stiff but rewarding climb that overlooked the Active Pass exit, the islands, and down the channel towards Swartz Bay, Vancouver Island. Very quiet, except for birdsong, ferries, and the odd float plane. Cabin had the amenities I needed, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, couch, writing table. Was warm enough, even in March, once I mastered the heating system. Great writing spot for my needs. Friendly islanders rescued me from walking martyrdom on my trek from Sturdies Bay up to Driftwood, and staff went above and beyond when the cold I thought I'd shaken off came back.
Disliked: Not much to do with the property. I had overestimated my ability to get around on foot, and next time am planning on bringing at least an ebike with me (and somewhat less luggage), as options for groceries nearby are limited and I was out of season for local rentals.

Liked: Excellent location, amazing view from our cottage, very good customer service (I was in contact with the host all the time) super clean! We loved small details in the property. Art in the garden, family friendly field with space for family activities, facilities in the cottage which make our stay feel like home!

Liked: The location is perfect for all the centralized activities of Sturdies Bay.. close to Ferry dock, grocery stores and of course the Hummingbird Pub! The cottage had everything that you could ask for in kitchen equipment, bathroom amenities, coffee and even ice cubes ready to use! The tv was on the right system for us to see the Baseball pennant race!We were here to kayak and the location was fine for us to get to the water access points! All was amazing!
