Guest access

Your space is part of our home, but thoughtfully separated for comfort and privacy. A full bathroom on your floor is reserved for your use. As our guest suites are on the lower level of our lived‑in island home, you may hear light movement from upstairs. We keep a peaceful atmosphere and observe quiet hours to ensure a restful stay. We offer the main suite for two (couple), as well as an adjacent suite for parties of four (two couples). The second suite is not booked separately, and both are only available to a single party of four to assure an enjoyable experience with your friends and family. Pender Haven is part of our lived‑in island home, with guest suites thoughtfully set on the lower level. You may hear light, everyday sounds from upstairs as we move about or welcome the occasional visiting family member. We keep a peaceful atmosphere and observe quiet hours, and most guests find the natural hush of the forest and the warmth of a hosted home to be part of the experience. Step outside and enjoy outdoor sitting areas, including a covered space perfect for morning coffee, reading, or relaxing after a day of exploring. Our property is surrounded by mossy forest, tall cedars, and gentle trails that invite you to slow down and unwind. No smoking or vaping is permitted within the house, but we are happy to accommodate such at designated spaces outside for those who wish.

Other details

Perfect For - Couples seeking a peaceful getaway - Solo travellers wanting rest or creative time - Remote workers needing quiet and reliable Wi‑Fi - Nature lovers exploring the Gulf Islands This is a quiet, owner‑occupied home in a residential neighbourhood. Guests have a private entrance to their room and access to a full bathroom. Water conservation is important on North Pender Island, and we appreciate guests being mindful of usage. The property includes forested areas and a short trail—please watch your step and be aware of uneven ground. A quick note for animal lovers: we have an enthusiastic dog, Grizz, a Catahoula Leopard Dog, who sometimes likes to greet new arrivals with a bark and a lot of confidence (he rarely barks otherwise). He may seem imposing at first, but he’s a gentle soul who warms up quickly and enjoys friendly interactions when he chooses the moment. Our back yard is fully fenced-in, and if you are at all uncomfortable we are happy to contain him there. We also have a black kitty, Salem, who may visit. We’re happy to answer questions, or offer recommendations, as are familiar with the islands services and the many outdoor activities and locations, but we also respect your privacy throughout your stay.
