I had a wonderful week enjoying the Hilltop Cabin on St Joseph Island. The cabin is a quiet and cozy place to relax, and the porch is the perfect place to watch the sunset.

This was a very lovely stay! Dawn and David are a very kind couple and accommodating hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and more, and were very genuine. We had some wonderful chats with them and learned a lot about the area. The cabin had everything we needed to cook some great vacation meals and a beautiful porch to enjoy them on, and way very cozy for our off the grid get away trip. There was some usual wear and tear on the cabin, as it is older, but Dawn and David were very quick to respond and did their best to fix any problem we encountered. We explored the Fort and Island Museum nearby, biked down to the nearby boat dock; and kayaked in the nearby bay. It was a lovely little mosquito-less area, which was a nice change after our camping the previous days. We would love to return anytime.

We were very happy to return this spring to Dawn and David’s cabin on their farm on St Joseph Island. Our hosts were so very kind and hospitable, as before, and ensured we had absolutely everything we could need, from warm blankets and firewood to maple syrup they’d harvested themselves and kitchen essentials. It was great to visit the Island early in the northern springtime: we were lucky enough to catch International Migration Day (a major birdwatching event for which Fort St Joseph opened early), and we had a couple of brilliant evenings paddling our canoe in Gawas Bay too. We were lucky enough to see otters as well as beavers and muskrats, deer and a fox near the cabin, and a troop of fluffy baby foxes nearby too! We had a lovely time, and we’re already looking forward to returning to this cozy, comfortable, relaxing cabin. Thank you Dawn and David! : )

The cabin is gorgeous with a fully equipped kitchen and the most wonderful porch. It is very close to a pier for a swim in the bay. Everything was as described and as shown in Dawn's photos. Dawn and David were incredibly warm and welcoming and really made sure I had everything I needed.

We just loved staying at Dawn's cabin. Dawn thoughtfully sent us more detailed location information in advance which was really helpful, welcomed us when we arrived, and she and David were available to us throughout our stay for anything we needed. The cabin was so comfortable, relaxing, and serene, with cheerful decor and many amenities -- we were really glad we'd chosen to stay here instead of a hotel on the mainland. Relaxing on the front porch with a view of many trees was great: we could see myriad birds as well as grazing deer, and a family of sandhill cranes landed right next to the cabin. The night sky was dark and star-filled, another bonus for city-dwellers enjoying a rural stay. Our hosts' hospitality was amazing, with bonuses of their tasty fresh garden produce and delicious maple syrup produced right there at the farm. This was our first visit to St Joseph Island and we were just delighted by how relaxed and uncrowded it is, with good diners and waterfront restaurants, fantastic tours at Fort St Joseph and Adcock Gardens, and a really great little museum too. Overall, this cabin on a farm was a wonderful place to relax and unplug for a few days. We look forward to returning someday for the St Joseph Island beaches, hiking trails, bike riding, canoeing in the little bay just down the road from the cabin, fall bird migration, and fall colours (so many maples on the island)! Thanks Dawn and David!
