"Finally, in terms of resting your head for the night, you can either get yourself a big tuft of moss for a pillow and snooze in the woods, OR check in to the Copper Beech House in Masset.You know I love a place with character and/or fish-shaped bowls on the table, so I was quite delighted with this guesthouse, which is owned by author Susan Musgrave. I didn’t get to meet her this time around, and seeing as how she is referred to as “the wild sea-witch of Canada’s northwest coast” in this bio, I feel that’s quite a shame."

"Our group of 8 is back in our urban evirons with Haida Gwaii resonating in our minds and bodies. A particular highlight for us was the wonderful hospitality we experienced at Copper Beech. Your "down to earth" way of hosting us was such a warm and memorable experience; the special dinner and breakfasts; the creatively decorated and oh so comfortable rooms; and the special touches were a feast to the eyes."

"Now  to the dinner.  Everything, absolutely everything, was superb.  You were feeding a group who appreciated good food and I know  they did not disappoint you.  The candlelight dessert was a special touch and certainly apart of the special memories everyone has  about that unforgettable evening.  To then provide an intellectual dessert, the visit to Jimmy Hart's studio, was above and beyond the call....  Thanks for providing us with a wonderful, wonderful cultural and culinary experience in Masset."
