Welcome to the dreamland of Orchard House, a luxurious storybook home set on 3 acres of sprawling gardens with spectacular water views of Lambert Channel and neighbouring Denman and Vancouver Islands.
Tastefully remodelled and updated, this elegant home comfortably hosts 8 people. The large gourmet kitchen has every imaginable convenience and an ample dining table offers room for all. The generous living room provides panoramic views of the water and mountains savoured on deep, oversized furniture. Three ensuite bedrooms feature opulent king beds along with more scenic views. Of course, the great outdoors call to be enjoyed under the glass-roofed veranda or on the cliffside glass balcony made comfortable with ample wood furniture.
Further afield you’ll find vibrant gardens and the gazebo facing the tranquil water-falling lotus ponds, oasis to hummingbirds, butterflies and those lucky enough to snag a lounger. The large lawn provides a great spot for family games or picnic blankets to gaze up at the stars. Nearby Phipps Point is ideal to launch kayaks and paddle boards and ensures you always have front-row seats for sunset each and every night. And if you’re especially lucky, you’ll catch passing orcas and seals as they swim along Lambert Channel heading north up the Georgia Strait.
Discover all this and more at Orchard House. We hope you come to visit soon.
A portion of every rental fee is donated to the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada.

Pat grew up in Vancouver and moved to Hornby in 2010 to follow his husband Michael's dream to live on a Gulf Island, following in the earlier footsteps of Michael's English grandmother who bravely bought a small family cottage sight unseen in the Lake of the Woods in Western Ontario ,where she raised her two kids. Michael grew up spending summers running barefoot outdoors, swimming and canoeing, making an indelible connection to the peace and joy Nature brings.
After managing their own home rental on Hornby for 7 years, a couple of friends asked them to take care of their homes too. As is the way with islands, word quickly spread and in a couple of years, My Hornby Stay was born. Since then they have happily cared for some special island homes and now enjoy the great fortune of hosting the wonderful families who return to Hornby each year.
"We are grateful everyday for this chance to live surrounded by the quiet embrace of Nature and within this tight-knit community. We've made good friends and found great peace. And it indulges our love for making a house into a home."
