GUEST BOOK COMMENTS : As many before us have said, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. This area is so peaceful and amazingly beautiful. We feel privileged to have the opportunty to experience this...From the moment I stepped out of the car upon our arrival, I could feel the loving hands that have created this marvelous home. You have put in thousands of hours and you are sharing that with us. I humbly say thank you. ~ Dan & Janet, Sammamish, WA, USA***** This is the Tremblay's 11th year coming to Cortes, and we never tire of it! We had a wonderful week, weather was great, beachcombing, clam & oyster bake, canoeing, swimming in Hague Lake, the Friday Market. Your house was inspiring as we spent many hours on the deck, reading, laughing, and just being mesmerized by the view. I truly loved the garden - it was beautiful! We look forward to our next trip and hopefully we can stay here again. ~ Kim, Tim, Tess & Kate from Stevenson BC*****

MORE GUEST BOOK COMMENTS : We all has a fabulous week. The ever changing view of the sea and mountains hypnotized us each day. Caught a feast of fish from the canoe - Rockfish & Salmon. We saw a huge Sea Lion slowly swim by, a sea otter, and porpoise too. The house was perfect, one of the best we have ever rented. Hope to come back again soon! ~ Ernest & Yvette, France***** We came back! Need we say more!! It's nice to revisit a place, especially a spot from which we've carried such beautiful memories throughout the past year...The house is as beautiful & comfy as before. Nice to sit by a fire in the woodstove. We enjoyed the peace & quiet, the hikes, the fish & chips at the Cove Restaurant, finding chanterelle mushrooms again, going clamming. Meeting you both finally was great, settles the mystery of who these wonderful people might be, who lovingly decorate a house & carefully nurture visitors from afar....Fondly Luise & Michael from Seattle, Washington, USA*****

Your Very Own Eco-System

Ralph&Nanette New York City
Review Submitted: March 12, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
Cedar Moon Beach House is one of the loveliest spots we know anywhere on the planet. Sitting on a log on the beach watching the sun rise above Desolation Sound surrounded by silence so deep you can hear a bird's wings flapping as it flies along the shore - such an experience is priceless and wonderfully restorative for city dwellers like us. When you step outside it seems that you gaze not only on your own piece of shoreline but on your very own ecosystem! The tranquility and beauty of Cedar Moon, and the sense of being far from the madness of consumer culture, make a visit here a precious gift for the soul and spirit. The vast, exquisite natural surroundings and lovely interiors of both house and cottage are matched only by Philip and Sandra's gift for hospitality and the way in which they have made their whole property into an ongoing work of art with its trails, oyster shell designs and subtle illuminations. We always anticipate a return to this land with huge delight and enthusiasm. It's one of the magic spots on the face of the earth, and it's owned by two of the most warm and gracious people you'll ever meet anywhere.
