We had a great time staying in this cabin on Pender. The place is very quiet and private and you are surrounded by trees with a view of the ocean. The cabin itself was very clean and had all the amenities you could need for a nice relaxing stay. The kitchen was particularly well equipped for making meals, and the outdoor tub was a nice treat. Would stay here again!

A unique and cozy cabin nestled in the woods with a lovely view and all the amenities one could ask for. The outdoor tub was a treat, and the bedroom with a super comfortable bed and view was so cozy. We loved being able to barbecue for dinner and eat outside. The deck at the back and front let you chase the sun. It was so quiet and private. Truly an escape. One note - no TV but there is wifi, so if you must remain plugged in you can, but you won't want to - guaranteed.

The host, Sandra was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to questions. She has lots of suggestions for places to go and check out. The cottage itself was cozy, quiet and a perfect spot for a getaway.
View from the shower. The outside tub was disconnected due to freezing temperatures but I was cozy and warm inside with the rain shower.
A little landmark in the William Walker Trail, near to the cottage. Worth the hike.
View from the Mount Norman summit. Take a snack up there on a sunny day for a little rest before continuing.
Some fun guys I found on my walk!
