We arrived in a state of clinical-level exhaustion hoping to be revitalized by our 5 days. Everything about the property felt like it was put there precisely to help us achieve that. Ganges village was only 5 minutes away by car, but the cabin and its grounds were so peaceful and embracing that it felt like we were deep in the woods. And to bathe in the old-fashioned and wonderfully comfortable clawfoot bathtub under the stars was a highlight we won't soon forget. Never has lying abed scrolling the net seemed more incongruous. Our host was accommodating and provided breakfasts to die for. I could go on with superlatives, but you get the picture. Very highly recommended.
A beautiful, cozy place to celebrate my 50th. It was like getting a nature hug every time I stepped out the door.For me it was a perfect location; conveniently close to the ferry and downtown Ganges, but secluded and far enough away to provide the peace and solitude I needed. I almost wished for a rainy day to rationalise curling up in the comfy bed all day with my book. (Too much to explore though.) I would definitely go back. Highly reccomend for couples looking for a quiet place to have a romantic get-away.

Jessa!
Thank you for getting what we’re offering, being super low maintenance and having gratitude! You’re the absolute perfect guest and absolutely who I want to share my property with. Many thanks!!
Our stay at westover BNB was dreamlike! The cabin is rustic and surrounded by wilderness which makes for a beautiful setting. The outdoor tub and shower are such a great addition that we enjoyed a lot! The outhouse took some getting used to while we adjusted to the spiders/bugs (unavoidable when in nature) but after a day it was completely fine! Tara was a caring and responsive host. The only small inconvenience is the lack of service and really unreliable internet. Otherwise, everything from the breakfasts we received to the general atmosphere of the property was perfect! I would definitely stay again.
My partner and I loved our stay here! The privacy and location was amazing, Tara left delicious granola for us for breakfast and we loved that our dogs were able to join us.
I can not imagine a better host than Tara, or a more restful place to stay that aligns with my values & needs. The location was convenient to everything & the bed was really comfy. I loved being there.
Cute cozy cottage! Very relaxing weekend and was everything we expected and more. Fulfilled our quick little getaway expectations.Will be returning for sure. Thank you Tara!
Had a lovely stay here for our anniversary! Our host Tara was so kind and gave us plenty of privacy, I really felt like we had a private oasis to ourselves. Everything was clean and so thoughtfully decorated and supplied. The breakfast was a great plus too!!
Lovely rustic cabin, yummy breakfast items and coffee. Be prepared for mosquitoes! Not a 1 bedroom though, a one room only with very little space for preparing food. Comfy bed and great outdoor shower and tub. Overall we enjoyed our stay and Tara was very helpful getting the wifi to work and provided ice whenever needed.
I had a wonderful stay! Tara was such a lovely, accommodating, and helpful host from start to finish. The property was perfect for my needs; tucked away in nature and a short drive to some beautiful hiking trails. The outside bathtub was an absolute treat and the highlight of my evenings. Plus, the delicious breakfast each morning was the perfect way to start the day. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to escape to nature and find some true tranquility!
The cabin is absolutely adorable and super convenient; just a 5-minute trip from the ferry terminal. The host was lovely and really helpful, and the space itself felt warm and cozy, with a space heater & a wood stove. Tara also left out books and colouring supplies, which was such a nice touch. Breakfast (homemade muffins, yogurt, granola, etc.) was delicious. We also loved that our puppy could come along with us!
we had a beautiful long weekend at tara’s property, she was so welcoming and her space was so beautiful. we had such a relaxing and delightful time, thanks tara!
