The Hobbit house location - not far from the ferry and main shopping area, plus nearby access to the 707 trail network - was perfect for our 2-day biking trip to Gabriola. Nancy and Greg were wonderful hosts, friendly and welcoming, but very respectful of our privacy. They brought us absolutely delicious breakfasts which set us up well for our days of riding around. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Hobbit on Canopy Ridge to our friends & family, and look forward to staying there again. Thanks for having us!

Relaxing stay at The Hobbit

We used The Hobbit as our base for a three night trip for Gabriola. Clean, comfortable and well hosted by an available but privacy-respecting couple (Nancy and Gregory), we really enjoyed out stay. Breakfasts were a nice touch and were well tailored to our considerable dietary needs. Would absolutely stay again.

I found a home-away-from-home for me and my furry kid on Gabriola!The cabin was everything I was looking for! A refuge, cradled by tall trees, emphasizing tranquillity and simple living. The location was perfect for exploring the island and all it has to offer. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming, helpful and easy-going. And WOW… the breakfasts were a work of art every morning! Thank you, Nancy and Gregory, for making me feel special!
