About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Wonderful gem on Saltspring
This was the perfect place for a quiet, serene getaway. Nestled in the trees and surrounded by many welcoming birds, the cottage was ideal for a weekend to rest and recharge. Clean and private, check in/out seamless. Definitely would stay again!

Secluded Getaway
We loved staying at the cottage, the only sounds that we heard were birds chirping in the trees. We were able to use the kitchen and relax having our breakfast and dinner on the outside deck. Watching the bunnies and birds from the deck was peaceful, and the stars, oh my, so many. Would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone who wants a peaceful get away.

Delightful stay. The cottage is at the end of a long dusty road, but quiet and peaceful. About 15 minutes from Ganges and 20 minutes from Long Harbour ferry. All was as represented in the photos. We would return.

Great place! Absolutely will be visiting again. My only suggestion would be to make the place dog friendly, as I would be back more times than I could. Absolutely recommend the place. It’s quiet, tranquil and the hosts were GREAT. We checked in pretty late, and this was not an issue. We will be back 😀

A lovey, memorable stay
This is a must stay. Our hosts thought of every detail - great sheets and towels, decor, SMEG small appliances, charming dishware. Smooth check in process and hosts were accessible to answer questions. Quiet forest all around us, and delightful flower pots.

Quiet & cute place 4.5 stars!
It was an overall lovely place, the owners were accommodating & the place was very comfortable. 4.5 stars because my partner and I biked from the ferry & it was quite the ride to get there - especially the steep gravel road that the house is located on. We had a fantastic time & I would stay there again in the future.

We had a peaceful getaway in this home with a forested view, large patio and outdoor space. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Ruckle Park is fairly close by with gorgeous walks through the forest and by the ocean.

We came to Salt Spring to unplug from our busy lives and enjoy the market and other adventures, peacefulness and beauty that Salt Spring has to offer. The Garden cottage was a perfect setting for my partner and I and our friends to enjoy some time together.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lovely and well-appointed cottage. We especially liked the deck over-looking the garden - great for breakfast and afternoon tea. The spacious kitchen had everything we needed. Hosts were welcoming and couldn't have been nicer. Would highly recommend!
