About this property

Garden cottage

Amongst the trees, away from it all and at the end of a long private driveway sits Garden Cottage; even though you feel completely secluded you are close to the ocean, parks, maybe stop by one or all of the many gourmet farm stands in the area, just enjoy the deck and the trees or in 18 minutes be at the famous Saturday market and all that Ganges has to offer.

Lovely area and surroundings

The cabin was very clean and nice, and having a fire in the fireplace in the evening as the sun went down was delightful. Michael the host was quick to respond and otherwise in the background, perfect. All in all a very good experience.

Peaceful and welcoming

We loved staying here. It was the perfect place to spend a long weekend. The cottage was clean, peaceful, and equipped with everything we needed. The host was extremely welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. Morning coffee/tea out on the deck was the highlight for sure!

Me and my son take a birthday trip every year for the past probably nine or 10 years and for the first time when we checked in and opened the door to the Condo, there was a birthday cake and decorations for my birthday. It was a first for my birthday trip and it was an amazing thoughtful day birthday gift. . We had a blast. We didn’t run into any issues. Would definitely stay there again.

Very nice little cottage

This was a very cute little place to stay. Very clean, quiet and beautiful property. Area is a little isolated and the access road is a bit bumpy for a low car.

Tranquil forest getaway

The cottage was very peaceful and relaxing, we only stayed one night but all wished it were more. We didn't meet Michael, but communicated with his via the chat. It was a very warm day so was quite hot when we arrived, but Michael made sure to open all the windows to let a breeze in and we were all comfortable.

Great secluded cottage

The cottage was wonderful. In the trees with a great deck. The bed was comfortable and the cottage was just as described. It’s a very steep gravel drive up to it, as a warning. It’s close to Ruckle Provincial Park and not far from Fulford also (by car). Takes about 20-25 minutes to get into Ganges.

If you are looking to escape the city noise look no further. This cottage and its location defines tranquility. It was so peaceful and relaxing at this cabin. On the deck you can hear a variety of bird songs and the occasioanl bleep of the goats. The deck is enclosed as is a small back yard which was perfect for our dog to run around after being on leash most of the day. The cabin was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The sleeping spaces were clean and comfortable. We adored this place and found ourselves wanting to spend time away from ganges and the busy downtown core and spend more time relaxing in this hidden oasis.

Cabin in the woods

Peaceful with the beauty of nature all around us. The cabin was clean and fully equipped to meet our needs. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, walks in the woods and a nice cozy fire at night, this is the spot.
