We loved our stay at the cottage! Loved the wood burning fireplace, the location up in the trees was heavenly and place was immaculate and every detail was thought of. Excellent hosts as well! We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to others!
Lovely little cottage. Upstairs loft bedroom could be challenging for older guests.
Would have liked a large pot for cooking pasta, and an outdoor bar-b-q.
Ideal for short stays.

It was very quiet and enjoyable. The one thing we didn't realize when we moved in was that it had only one bathroom, but that was our fault for not checking the listing more closely when we originally booked. It really is a lovely spot, and close to some of our favourite farm stands, plus the Salt Spring Cheese Factory.
Loved the quiet location and the impeccable cleanliness of the cottage. Michael was also a great host, and very prompt to respond to questions. We would certainly stay here again the next time we’re in the area.
We had such a fantastic and relaxing stay. The cottage was beautiful and clean. We especially loved the peaceful forest side mornings. We would highly recommend it and hope to be back one day!
Beautiful light airy cottage nestled in the treesVery clean and well appointed with everything you needComfortable beds, quality linens and towelsLots of areas to sit both inside and outHost was very friendly and accessible
