Neighborhood eagles and harbour seals were always interesting and entertaining. Great sunsets. The island has some awesome lake swimming (we swam at Main Lake after a hike to see Surge Narrows). We also enjoyed meals at Tsa Kwa Luten lodge which we hear will be closed after September unfortunately for island guests. Great getaway nonetheless!

Lovely Cottage, Beautiful View
We had a wonderful stay here - very comfortable and convenient. The dock access was great for taking our boards paddling and the local seals were quite welcoming. The cottage is very comfortable and has all you would need for your stay. Very welcoming hosts and we would love to come back sometime.
Thank you!

Loon Point Cottage is a lovely property just minutes from the ferry terminal at Quathiaski Cove, a 10 minute sail from Campbell River.
Well appointed with all the amenities you need and a lovely deck which is bathed in the afternoon and evening sun.
Directions to the property on the website were very clear and prior to our visit communicating with Kate, the owner, was always quick and easy.
Sitting on the deck it was a pleasure to see a group of seals on the sea below and they were there throughout our 3 day stay. We also saw bald eagles on the jetty next to the property as well as soaring overhead.
Quadra is a lovely island to spend a few days exploring and I would thoroughly recommend Loon Point.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at the cottage. Everything was so comfortable (couch,bed,chairs). Very nicely decorated. The front deck has a marvelous view of the ocean and the mainland.
Lots to do and lots of wild life to watch and photograph. Kate and Tor were excellent hosts.

Cabin is very private with an amazing deck to view wildlife at its best in nature, yet so close to grocery store/restaurants and shops & Ferry so you don't waste time driving and can focus on what you 'do want' to experience. Hosts very friendly and accommodating. One can sense that there has been much conscientious effort placed by the owner for simplicity and sustainability on the property. We loved it and will be back next year!

What a stay!
We arrived to this paradise and were taken away from the moment we saw the views. The wildlife in the area was nothing short of amazing. We watched in awe as a baby seal pup was born, eagles every day, and seals playing off the shores.
The dock was beautiful and the water was nice for a swim.
We walked to grab coffee and check out some of the local shops.
The owners were amazing and assisted in getting the bbq working even on her wedding day!
We will definitely be staying again ❤️

The perfect getaway
This cabin had everything we needed for an amazing stay, and the property managers were quick to reply to every inquiry. Having access to a dock was an added bonus. We watched humpback whales, seals and porpoises from the dock within the first hour of our stay! We would highly recommend Loon Cottage and Quadra Island is a true gem.

Stress free Vacation!
Waking up each morning to the seals and otters frolicking in the ocean below is a sight not to be missed! The serenity of this place soothes the soul.
The cottage is rustic, ever so clean and is equipped well. Truly a most wonderful place to escape to!

Wonderful visit on Quadra
Wonderful place to unwind. We loved watching the abundance of sea life. The harbour seals were highly entertaining. The cabin is well stocked and has almost everything you need. Highly enjoyable stay.

Great Experience
This cottage sitting above the bay waters, with it's views out across Vancouver Island was a wonderful experience. I watched bald eagles hunting, the intimate life of harbor seals (almost always present in the bay), and even saw a whale breach and an otter searching for food. The deer on the property are almost tame and pretty much ignore you unless you show too much interest. Quadra Island is lovely and boasts all types of hikes - no Grizzly Bears - to lakes, reversing rapids, old growth forests. One night I was treated to fresh produce from the caretaker's garden. And very easy access to the mainland with the ferry only a 15 min walk from the cottage. Lots of privacy too. The cottage itself was well supplied, thoughtfully arranged, and very, very clean. A great experience and one I may repeat soon.

Awesome views. Peaceful and private.
The cottage was very clean and well located. It is fully stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal or breakfast.
However, it is rustic. That means no air conditioning, dishwasher or TV. But you can watch the sunset over the water and the seals an eagles nearby.
We had a relaxing time. Our only complaint was lack of air conditioning as the weekend was very hot.

Perfect!
It really doesn't get any better than this. Ocean front gorgeous view every day. Small place but ideal for 1 or 2 people.
It was our first time to Quadra Island and we got so lucky reserving Loon Point. We've already made reservations for next year:-)

Amazing
What a wonderful place. We just wanted to sit on the deck the whole time. Watching all the eagles, river otters and seals was amazing. This was a cozy little cottage and we had everything we needed. We are already planning a return trip! Thank you for all your advice and the fresh produce Kristene you were wonderful! Will & Julie

Beautiful views no matter the weather
Came for a solo trip and stayed four nights. Hosts were very friendly and the cabin was amazing, the pictures don't do it justice. There has clearly been a lot of time and effort put into making the cabin comfortable and cosy and the efforts have really paid off.

Cozy little cabin with incredible views. Very peaceful setting.
We enjoyed a few days in this well appointed cabin. Most enjoyable was sitting on the deck with our tea watching eagles soaring and seals playing. A perfect getaway spot for two!

Best Week Ever!!!
I can not say enough great things about my stay on Quadra Island, beginning with the Cottage at Loon Point. The photos do not do the location justice as the view from the deck is exquisite. The water is crystal clear and full of activity, from a resident seal population of around 16, three bald eagles living on the little island directly across from the cottage, to purple and orange starfish, tiny jelly fish, a family of otters, gulls, etc. From the deck you also have a beautiful view of Vancouver Island; I simply never tired of the view. The cottage is perfectly simple and so comfortable and cozy. I felt right at home the moment I drove up, a short two minute drive from the ferry. The kitchen is well stocked and is easy and fun to cook in. I ate inside and I ate outside - I never could decide which was my favorite. :)
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom small and just fine. The washer and dryer were nice additions.
As to activities, oh! The list is endless! I went for a couple of runs on Rebecca Spit and then for my long run I walked to the ferry and rode across to Campbell River (10 minute ride) where there is a paved, fairly flat 6 mile walking/biking path. I went swimming in Morte Lake which is crystal clear and fabulous and I also went ocean swimming on the east side of the island by Rebecca Spit. If you are a swimmer, Nelson Lake is reported to be the clearest lake on the island. (I did both swims in a wetsuit as the water temp was around 60 degrees - too cold for this Texan!) Fishing, kayaking, some small shops, a museum or two all make for a unique, beautiful experience on Quadra Island.
If you wanted more dining and shopping options you can walk to the ferry (about a 10 minute walk) and go across to Campbell River (cost around $8US round trip) and there are lots of options within walking distance. You could drive your car on if you wanted but walking guarantees no wait for the ferry!
I highly recommend Loon Point. I loved the house and Kristene and Fred and Kate were so hospitable. They made my stay extra special and I feel that I made three friends. I hope I get to go back next year. Quadra is a place that carves a niche in your heart and calls your name - it really is that special.

Gorgeous waterfront location; clean comfortable cottage.
A basic space in a fantastic waterfront setting. We had all we needed and the place was clean and functional. Nothing fancy, but a nice place to stay in a very quiet rural residential setting within walking distance of the small island center. Watched eagles, seals, otters, even a few whales from the deck. We would definitely stay again.

perfect getaway for a couple
Quiet, clean, friendly, fully outfitted, with a pristine island environment, and a gaggle of seals at our doorstep entertaining for our whole stay. No surprises - except for how 'at peace' and relaxed we felt after our 3-day escape.
Can't say enough good things!
Thanks to our hosts - highly recommended.

Wonderful cottage
We really enjoyed our week at Loon Point Cottage. The cottage is small but had everything we needed. The view was unsurpassed. Every morning and evening we sat on the deck and watched seals, bald eagles and boats passing by. Kate, Kristene and Fred were gracious and helpful hosts. We had great hikes to Rebecca Spit, Chinese Mountain and Shellaligans Pass. Our whale watching tour with Eagle Eye Adventures was fabulous. They picked us up right at the dock, and we saw humpback whales playing around the excursion boats for at least an hour. We also saw seals, porpoises and great scenery. The Native cultural centre was excellent as was lunch at the Tsa kwa luten lodge. We enjoyed the Saturday farmer's market and and Raven Song art gallery. We would highly recommend Loon Point and Quadra Island.
We would love to come back.

Lovely Cottage on a Beautiful Island
The cottage was perfect! Clean, comfortable and conveniently located. We wanted to cook our own meals and found that the kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, dishes, appliances and a few pantry items. We would certainly recommend it to others looking to visit Quadra Island and hope to return to Loon Point next time we are in the area!
