We enjoyed our one night stay. If I had been staying longer, the room could use a TV and curtains that cover the entire window/door. Spectacular views ! We didn't have time to use the restaurant this time, but previous visits the food there is delicious.

This is a good place to sleep if you come for whale watching, and relatively well priced. Our room didn't have AC, but the restaurant and front desk employees were all very nice.

Best location at Brier Island for whale watching

Best location for overnight stay to be able to do whale watching the next day at Brier Island, considering you’d have to leave on time to catch 2 ferries that are on hourly schedules. Awesome food!

Nice view

The room was fine. Wish they could have emptied the garbage cans before we arrived. Others garbage left a lot to be desired. No tv was interesting. Shower was okay when the hot was working. Bed was extremely comfortable Staff and view was best part. Breakfast was good but super pricey for what you got.

This place has stunning views, beautiful trails to walk, great location. It's quiet, staff are wonderful, restaurant is great. An amazing place to get lost in nature and still have luxury and ability to stay connected with people back home. This is not a crazy, busy tourist place. If you want to feel like you have beaches and seals all to yourself, but still want a comfy bed, Brier Island and Brier Island lodge is the place to be! The restaurant closes fairly early, but we were able to request a meal ahead of time on an evening we were returning after closing time. The restaurant will have your meal ready and waiting for you at the front desk. Bring warmer clothes than you normally would in the summer as the Island can be cool and foggy at times. Pick up a few groceries before going to the island. Overall, this is our favourite get-away spot to date.
