Otter Point is the kind of place we all dream about as we go about our daily lives in the “real world”. Many of us would like to find a 3-acre peninsula at the end of a long private driveway, surrounded by clean and well-protected saltwater. Next, we would conjure up a modern home with all the conveniences and a large dock capable of providing moorage for small to large yachts. Why not add a separate log cabin built of heavy island timber with that magical feeling that only a wilderness log home has. Sounds too good to be true? Let’s surround this fantasy with beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, bald eagles, seals, and of course a family of otters. This dream is real and it’s located at the eastern end of Gorge Harbour on Cortes Island. Otter Point is really two properties in one. It includes the main house, which has been used in the past as a B&B, and Fernwood Log Cabin. You can rent either facility, or for a larger group or family, rent both at the same time. Otter Point lends itself both to family holidays and small group conferences, retreats, and family reunions. This property is centrally located on Cortes, which makes it easy to get to most amenities on Cortes such as stores, restaurants, recreation, and ferry. Please book well in advance to secure the facilities that will be just right for your needs.
