Lovely spot on salt spring, quiet and remote but not too far from town. Full kitchen ( not in pictures) trailhead nearby made it a nice home for a week. Hosts were super responsive.

Cute little cottage with lots of room for a family of four. It had everything we needed and was stocked with a few fresh groceries when we arrived, which was a pleasant surprise. Would definitely stay here again!

Clean, bright, and well-equipped; has full kitchen (not shown in photos) and we were grateful to have a well-stocked fridge (milks, butter, eggs) and fresh bread on our arrival! Very nice location, green all around, responsive hosts. Do check out their distillery too!

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and secluded cottage. The location was incredibly quiet—just what we needed to unwind and recharge. The cottage itself was spotless, with super comfortable beds that made for restful nights. Fiona, our host, went above and beyond—very responsive and thoughtful throughout our visit. We also really appreciated the many amenities, especially the breakfast items that were ready and waiting for us. A true hidden gem, and we can’t wait to come back!
