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!

As with several times in the past, our stay at the Hobbit House was great. Nancy and Greg are really good hosts, and the setting is beautiful. The hosts provide some nice touches like plenty of bottled water and snacks. The cabin is comfortable and has kitchen well supplied with cooking gear. We really enjoy spending time on Gabriola, and the Hobbit House is a prefect home base from which to explore. Highly recommended!

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!

Nancy was a wonderful host—friendly and welcoming—and her breakfasts were absolutely delicious. The accommodation is quiet, conveniently located, and perfectly suited for two people. However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit. We want to be honest so future guests can make an informed decision. Unfortunately, the space appeared not to have been properly cleaned before our arrival. There were cobwebs in several areas, the floors and carpet seemed like they hadn’t been vacuumed in some time, and surfaces such as the kitchen counters and inside the fridge were dirty.Because of these cleanliness issues, I’m sorry to say I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this place to family or friends.

We had a nice stay at the Hobbit House. Nancy was a wonderful host- very easy to communicate with, and so welcoming of myself, my three friends, and my dog. The place is a functional spot- works just fine as a base camp and had everything we needed/expected. The home itself was a bit damp/humid- totally fine, but just something we noticed. Great value, and the hot breakfast included was such a lovely touch! Thanks for a lovely stay on Gabriola!

We had such a lovely stay here. It was very tranquil peaceful and the hosts were just spectacular. All the little details that these guys add make such a big difference and let me tell you that breakfast that they make, is absolutely delicious. We took our infant, who is only nine months old and our puppy, and they made a little puppy plate and a little plate for our boy. We had such a lovely day and created some fantastic memories and hope to be back. We cannot thank these hosts enough.
