John was a wonderful host. When he found out we were on bikes, he suggested we drop off our bike panniers when our morning ferry arrived so that we could spend the day riding without hauling our stuff. We REALLy appreciated the offer! The house has an amazing deck with a stunning view. The house is so quiet and so peaceful. We loved our stay and would return if we were ever in the area.

A great stay any time of year

This is the second time we've stayed at Juniper Cottage and we enjoyed the ocean views and quiet coziness just as much as the first time. We hope to come back again.

Beautiful stay on salt spring. Property was fully equipped and the hosts had thought of everything. Unforgettable views from the front deck. A great family location (we travelled with a toddler) with everything you could need for your stay.

This is a fantastic house with probably the best-stocked kitchen ever. The hosts were both very nice, accommodating, and responsive, and the property was charming and quiet, with fantastic views of the ocean. All you can eat blackberries included!

Beautiful cottage on Saltspring Island

The cottage was perfect for our stay. It felt like our childhood cottage with whimsical decorations and lots of wooden vintage accents. The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning in the morning with the sunrise. The bedrooms were comfortable and all appliances worked perfectly.

Great view and lots of room.

Includes everything you need in a relaxing spot with a great view. Unfortunately beach access wasn’t available during our stay but you don’t have to drive too far to find a beach.

Hi Colin, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately I just noticed the email that was sent to you from VRBO was incorrect. Beach access is most certainly available with a brand new walkway down to the water. It is unfortunate that you did not receive the correct information and I apologize for that. We hope to see you again. Thanks, John

We had a small issue when we arrived and John replied very quickly and helped work it out.The views are fabulous - we sat out in the deck till late at night even though it was drizzling, but were able to bc of the overhang - we even saw a few hummingbirds!The living space is very nice - love the wood floors and the kitchen is very nice.The beds were decent - not amazing but not bad.We used navigation to get there and it directed us up the driveway before this one - which was quite difficult to back down! So DONT turn up the driveway that says 256, go to the next one!

This is a warm and welcoming home. Great location with an incredible view. We enjoyed a number of our meals sitting on the deck and soaking in the sea/ boat activity and islands view. John is a wonderful host. If I could I’d rate it higher than a 5
