About this property

Descanso Inn Turret Room

Warm, welcoming Queen Ann style home.
The space
Warm, welcoming Queen Ann style home in winter which is drenched in roses, daphnie and poppies and lilies throughout the spring and summer.

Beautiful gardens and forest setting. Also, close to Descanso Bay beach and minutes to all Gabriola’s parks, beaches and services.

Guest access
Common guest sitting room, lovely porch surrounded in roses, and clematis and many other flowers. You have access to the front garden and porch, the sitting room has a piano. The bedroom is on the second floor. Arrange a visit with our pet goats. Tour our kayak building and CNC router shop.

During your stay
You are free to come and go as you please but we are happy to see you anytime and provide any information about the island that you need.

Other things to note
There are so many things to do and see on Gabriola island! From kayaking, fishing and intertidling to petting llamas, buying local produce, touring gardens and/or artists studios to picking apples.... And usually there are wonderful musicians to take in during your stay.
