The location is extremely quiet and peaceful. The cottage is small but charming and very well furnished and equipped, even for a longer stay. The hosts are very kind, helpful and generous. It couldn't be any better.

The little cabin was a perfect place to end the day as it was nice and quiet. The cottage had all necessity tools for cooking your own meal. It was clean and practical but a bit out of the way from Ganges which was a perfect restful place after a very busy day of hicking.

Diane and Jim's cabin was a wonderful place to spend our time on Salt Spring. The bedroom is very cozy, but do let them know if you have mobility issues because the stairs are steep. Location is very convenient and the hosts are welcoming and full of great tips to enjoy the island. Their puppy Mateo was definitely one of the highlights for us!
