Un séjour magique loin de la civilisation et en plein milieu de la nature. Idéal !nous sommes complètement tombé amoureux de l'île de Galiano et de cette cabane dans les bois. Jennifer est très sympa et nous a donné beaucoup de conseils pour des randonnées ou des coins pour observer les animaux marins comme les phoques ou les loutres. C'est un séjour au plus proche de la nature ne soyez surtout pas dérouté par la douche avec vue sur la forêt ou les toilettes en plein air car cela fait complètement parti de la magie du lieu ! Thanks again Jennifer and Jack for this wonderful stay !!!

Ending summer by staying at this wee cabin was an absolute treat. It was very easy to find, and within an easy walk to Pebble Beach and Retreat Cove. Jenn gave some wonderful tips on where to explore, and was very welcoming. The cabin was tidy and so cozy! It was wonderful to come back to after exploring this gorgeous island. The coffee percolator took some getting used to using, but it makes some darn fantastic coffee! So, bring your grounds :) The photos give a very realistic view of where you'll be staying, and yes, it really is just as charming as it looks! Much of Galiano seems to be in Internet dead-zones, and it was wonderful to be unplugged. I got a lot of reading done while visiting! Thank you, for this beautiful wee place for a wonderful end-of-summer getaway :)

The cabin is secluded and cosy and we really enjoyed our stay! I found the bed comfortable but my partner felt the mattress was too thin and struggled to sleep. Overall though we loved the outdoor shower and really enjoyed ourselves, thankyou!

The cabin was very comfortable, cozy, and clean. It is set in a beautiful, peaceful and private location. We stayed with our baby, and three large dogs, and found the size just fine. Jenn & Jack were very easy going about us bringing our three large dogs, which was great. The large windows made the cabin very bright, and made you feel like you were still living outside even when in the cabin - which we loved. It had all the basic necessities for a comfortable stay. The outdoor shower was great, and the outhouse was actually quite luxurious, and clean. The cabin has a wonderful "feel" to it, and the description was bang on. We met Jennifer briefly, and she was great! Very friendly and easy going. Nature lovers will love this cabin!

The cabin was truly special - beautiful and cozy just as described. Jennifer and Jack had everything ready, down to small details like candles and spices for cooking.

Jennifer and her little boy were welcoming. They provided maps and info on how to explore the beautiful island. The cabin was a pleasant place to be for a couple of days-- a good reminder of how nice it is to turn off your smartphone. Was glad that I brought the rental car over on ferry. My son and I were able to get to more hiking and kayaking with the transportation. Very nice destination.

Perfect little cabin for 1 or 2 people. Tons of fun things to do around the island closeby. You'll want to have a car to travel around. Best hosts we've ever had! Thanks Jen and Jack!

Jennifer and Jack's cabin was the perfect little getaway for the weekend. From island maps to coriander, they had everything we needed. Our stay at the cabin wonderful. We can't wait to come back to visit! Thanks so much!

This place was a gem. Clean with a great lay out for social gatherings. The kitchen was a dream. Photos don't do it justice. We'll definitely be back. Thanks, Jen!

Jennifer's place is brand new and gorgeous. It has everything you could need. You get a great view from the top of a very steep hill.

Beautiful house with an amazing view. Jennifer was very easy and professional to deal with. We will stay here again.

Amazing beam and loft home with a gorgeous view of Trincomali Channel. The grounds are enchanting on arrival and the house bright with a whitewashed ceiling and so many windows. The main house is fully renovated and updated with tastefully decor and a dream kitchen! Jennifer's every effort showed in wanting to make sure her guests would be comfortable during their stay. Truly a treat to stay in and absolutely recommend Jennifer's home.

Our family of 6 stayed for 4 nights in the Arbutus Cottage and loved it! The house is located in a beautiful, quiet area that is very peaceful but close enough to downtown that it was easy to get around. Check in was very easy and the house was clean and is very open and bright and fit all of us perfectly. The bedrooms are beautiful and we cooked everyday in the kitchen. Our only challenge was contacting Jennifer during our stay and we didn't have a local contact on Saltspring but we didn't encounter any issues. We'll definitely be back!

Great house for large family vacations - lots of room and even toys and games for the kids! Jennifer, the host, has been great to communicate with and the house exceeded our expectations.

The place was beautiful, clean and bright. The bed was so comfortable and we loved the sea view from the balcony it was so peaceful and we had a relaxing and wonderful stay we loved the house!

The host canceled this reservation 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The space is a little smaller than you may imagine, but quite cosy and charming. The best part for us was to be on a farm, enjoying delicious produce and hearing them talk with such love about their work. There are two good walks nearby that don't require a car, which is also a plus. One thing that surprised us was that wifi is not available in the log cabin, but by walking closer to the main house (which I didn't figure out till the last day) even after making several inquiries. The island also doesn't have any cell phone towers, so the two combined means you'll have little to no reception or signal. This is fine, but it would have been better to be prepared.

Our stay at the Captains Cabin was fantastic! the history of the place along with all the comforts of home made it hard for us to leave at the end of the week. Michael and Henny are the most gracious of hosts with four of the greenest thumbs we have ever encountered. This is a must do if you are visiting Galiano island.

Loved staying at the captain's quarters! Enjoyed privacy and peace and quiet.

Lovely get away with everything we needed and very accommodating hosts

The captains quarters house was very comfortable and thoughtful. We had everything we needed and the house was beautiful and homey at the same time. When we arrived there was a Norah Jones CD playing, a table set for two, a bouquet of fresh basil, smoked salmon and a welcoming note from the hosts. We stayed for 3 days for our honeymoon and it was exactly what we had in mind. I would recommend this rental for anyone wanting peaceful and cozy relaxation.

Henny and Thomas were awe-inspiring! They have such a terrific life, we want to be just like them! Over the course of our 6 night stay, we would sometimes see Thomas at his farm and ask him to regal us with one more richly detailed maritime tale, the history of the Captains Quarters, and the true legends of the ancient yellow cedar Haida Gwaii . Henny is very entertaining to converse with; so elegant and articulate about a variety of topics including her work as a professional photographer, and so very warm and generous with the produce from their farm (shallots, potatoes, golden purslane, garlic) which we also enjoyed at the amazing Pilgrimme restaurant. We learned through seeing their state-of-the-art organic farming methods, and understand know that their demonstration farm is surely the future of food production in Western Canada. The cabin Captains Quarters itself is wonderfully private and spacious, with a great kitchen for foodies, and we were surprised to see there was a a luxurious (and sparkling clean!) jacuzzi on the back deck that we ended up soaking in each evening at sunset while receiving occasional little visits from a doe and her fawns, and a pair of hummingbirds. We highly recommend this lovely place. Thank you having us! Best, Liza and John

Henny and Thomas are both such welcoming and generous hosts. Went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and provided us with so many recommendations to make sure we made the most of our trip. The cottage is beautiful and cozy! Very well located on the island and easy to access all sorts of trails and beaches. Would definitely visit again.

We completely fell in love with the Captains Quarters with it's huge, old beams and it's comfy layout. The kitchen was perfect for preparing our risotto (featuring Henny's terrific arugula -thank you!), and the bed was dreamy. Nothing beats a hot-tub under the stars and this one is top notch. Walks either direction take you to remarkable coves and swimming beaches. Magnificent!

Paul and his wife Kyoko were genuinely caring hosts. They both did their utmost to make sure our stay was memorable. Their guest house was extremely clean and well cared for down to every detail. I really enjoyed talking to Paul about his experiences in different parts of the world. If we return to Galiano it would not be complete without staying at Azami again. 5 stars from us.

This was our second visit to Azami, and we were just as pleased with the experience as our first! The cottage was just as we remembered it, and Paul & Kyoko were once again very friendly and gracious hosts. We were still able to graze from the garden for dinner, and the Fall weather allowed us to take advantage of the wood stove in the evenings. All in all, another excellent experience at Azami!

Paul and Kyoko were both incredibly compassionate and helpful hosts. For one, even before our stay began, they provided us with useful travel tips. I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone else interested in a cottage stay in the area of the Southern Gulf Islands.

Paul and Kyoko were amazing hosts! They were very flexible with our arrival time and toke time to show us around their amazing cabin and garden. Their Cabin is super clean, comfortable and spacious. Our dog loved the cabin and the little garden. Kyoko and Paul kindly offered us free pick of their garden and we made fresh salads and chive omelets. Staying at their cabin, you can really feel the thought and love they put into the place and we were very grateful to spend the long weekend there. We highly recommend Azami to anyone who is visiting Galiano Island!

Hi! Our stay at Azami was exactly what we had hoped for! The place was quiet, calming and adorned with flowers from their garden! We were a short drive to amenities which are right along the way to or from the ferry. Fantastic hosts and hope to stay there again. We were quite tired and had to cut our mini garden tour short, I'm a horticulturist and she has some of my favourite plants!

It was a magical stay! a beautiful property. My favourite part was the frogs and their nightsong.

This place is absolutely wonderful to stay in! Paul and his wife are so friendly! The space is just perfect so easy to get anywhere on the island! The bed is extremely comfortable! Would highly recommend to anyone staying on Galiano! If we ever come back we would stay here!

This was my second time staying with Paul and Kyoko.. and it was just as wonderful as the first. They are lovely, gracious hosts. If you're looking for a quiet little oasis on Galiano, look no further. The suite is perfect. The experience is perfect. Anything that you might need to make your stay comfortable is provided, plus access to their wonderful veggie garden, takes it to the next level. Will be back again next year most definitely!

This is a very special cabin on a very special island. The view is incredible. The details in the cabin are sweet - lots of family games, puzzles for children, a perfect loft for kids, cozy bedding, and many kitchen tools for cooking. Kids loved exploring the coastline in rain or shine. Wildlife and tranquility abound. If your travels take you to Galiano, this is the place to stay!

We absolutely loved the cottage! Charming, well equipped and the perfect locale right on the ocean. We had warm sunshine for lounging on the deck and clear nights for laying on the rocks to star gaze. The perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver. We will definitely go back for a cozy rainy weekend where we can take advantage of the fireplace!

We absolutely adored Julie's place. My boyfriend and I were looking for a quiet getaway, and Two Akors was everything we could've dreamed of and more. The ocean is literally out the front window, the place is so cozy and beautifully decorated, and the wood stove was such a bonus. The house is surrounded by forest and is so peaceful. If you're looking to get away from the city and spend some quality time in nature with a beautiful log cabin to spend the evenings in, this is your place. Thanks Julie!

Terrific spot. Super cozy, and you're literally right on the water. Cabin is very comfortably appointed and well stocked. Bathtub is a real standout - giant and deep - makes the one at home seem very inadequate. Excellent for relaxing after a walk in one of the island's stunning parks. Really enjoyed Galiano. Excellent amenities and lots to explore, especially in nature. Had an excellent meal at La Berengerie - better than I've had on any of the Gulf Islands I've visited. Would definitely come back to the island, and would try and book this spot before looking any further.

This place is so adorable. The cabin is just how it is described in the ad - modern amenities with a rustic charm. My friends and I had so much fun on our girls getaway. We found we had everything we needed to be comfortable (cookware, fresh towels, extra blankets, cozy fireplace), and the host had a few special touches that made us truly feel at home (locally made soap in the washroom, heat was on when we arrived). The property is also amazing and it really felt like we were far from civilization. The beach is gorgeous. As adults, we enjoyed exploring the tidal pools - it would certainly be heaven for kids! There was also lots to explore on other parts of the island. Galiano Islanders were so friendly! We have fallen in love with the cabin and the island hope to return someday(URL HIDDEN)

In a word: Perfect. Five minutes after arriving, we saw an eagle flying over the ocean, followed by some seals - all from the living room! In the mornings, we woke up to the sounds (and panoramic views!) of the ocean. The cabin is very easy to get to from Vancouver or Seattle - one ferry ride and a short drive makes it an ideal quick weekend getaway. The cabin feels a lot more remote than it actually is :) The cabin has a nice well-equipped kitchen; the island has a great organic grocery store - if you like to cook, you can't go wrong with this cabin.

We recently stayed at the Two Acre Wood cabin and it was fabulous. Perfect romantic getaway for two! The customer service Joel gave us was second to none, and we will definitely be back again in the future!

We loved it! The place has an outstanding view of the ocean! When we were there we hiked Mount Galiano the view at the top was outrageous!

The decor was great. We loved the view - Fabulous sunsets, deers, hummingbirds & eagles. Comfy hammock, creative sunshades. Loved sitting on the huge out door deck for our meals Very quiet and peaceful. Some things needed some work: Fridge, BBQ

Lovely cabin with lots of comfy spots to relax. The location is walkable to Montague Haubour and provincial park. The covered patio was great to sit and watch the humming birds even in the grey weather.

Our hosts were extremely accommodating, and helpful. This is a beautiful spot, we would definitely recommend it.

We had a lovely relaxing time at Richard's cabin. A warm welcome from the host, with many helpful suggestions for places to eat and see. The accommodations were great...especially the large outdoor deck space with lots of privacy. Loved to see the deer below the deck and the stars at night.Thanks for making our first trip to the island memorable and rejuvenating.

Great place, nicely located close to Montague Harbour and Pilgrimm Restaurant. Brightly decorated with nice outdoor sitting and sleeping areas.

Richard and his wife were amazing hosts. Their place had a fantastic vibe and everything you need to relax on both patios. This place is truly an experience and I would highly recommend/ re-visit while on Galiano!

This is a great little hippy cabin in the woods. Close to Montague harbour and the pilgrimme restaurant. The two decks are so nice with large couches to relax on! Thank you Richard! Hope to come back soon.

The cabin was perfect for a relaxing weekend and easy to find (just opposite Pilgrimme). It is within walking distance of Montague Harbour if you want to explore but the patio is so comfortable we spent most of our time there. You can hear other visitors outside in the cabin below or larger accommodation nearby, so if that bothers you if may not be what you're looking for, but we considered it background noise and would strongly recommend the cabin as a place to stay on Galiano.

Superbe propriété au sommet d'une falaise avec vue imprenable sur les îles. Très tranquille, en nature, confortable. Communication très simple et efficace avec l'hôte. Fortement recommandé.

What an amazing place to stay. Breathtaking views and amazing sunsets. Erik was there to greet us at the house and show us round and give us tips on hikes around the island. Highly recommended.

Erik was very helpful leading up to the reservation, providing lots of information in prompt replies. The listing photos don't even do this place justice (although I did think it looked great in the pics!). As soon as you walk towards the front door from the driveway you can see the sprawling views of the mountains and ocean - stunning!! All through the house you have the incredible views. It's a great place to stay for adult families or families with children. We were three adult couples and everyone was happy with their room. There's also tons of room for everyone to spread out and have their space. The balcony is huge and wraps all along the entire house. There is an extra seating area further down the hill/cliff as well. Overall LOVED our stay here and hope Erik and Eva will have us again next summer =)

As promised, a truly spectacular view and a very relaxing spot to enjoy the beauty of Galiano and the Gulf islands. Hosts were very welcoming and the house was a very comfortable and inviting place to stay for a our family (which included two kids and one grandparent). Highly recommended stay.

What a wonderful place! When we arrived Erik and Eve were there to welcome us to Galiano and give us suggestions for what to do during our visit. The house was incredible!! Amazing deck and views, it was everything we were hoping for and more. Unfortunately upon leaving we did not notice that we'd accidentally damaged a few things during our stay. Erik and Eve were so understanding about the issues and were extremely patient in dealing with the repairs. Overall great experience!! Would highly recommend!

The tour and ericks informative knowledge of must sees were very helpful. We found the beds super comfy and were provided everything we needed. The view of the harbour was spectacular and so serene from the hot tub! Thank you.

Erik and Eve were incredible hosts. Every question was answered almost immediately. Erik was invaluably helpful with everything from information regarding the optimal ferry schedules to get to Galiano Island to the best grocery stores to shop at on the island. The house itself was beyond amazing! The views were even better than expected. I took so many photos of their views off the deck as they were ever-changing depending on the light of day. The house had everything we needed to feel at home. We completely relaxed and didn't want to leave.

Amazing view, clean and comfortable, well equiped kitchn, thanks for the awesome week!

The Little Barn was comfortable, well-equipped and in a magical location. We loved sitting outside under the umbrella with our morning coffee and our evening glass of wine, observing life in and on the pond, watching the swifts' acrobatic flying, listening to the bird chatter, showering in the outdoor shower. I felt like I was part of Galiano Island ... a great feeling! This is a casual island and Little Barn is a casual place. Perfect for us!

The Little Barn is a tranquil lovely place to escape the bustle of the busy city yet be pampered with all the necessities including a hot outside shower, great beds, and even Internet for those who need to stay connected to the big world. We used it to research info on the island and about the Great Blue Heron who makes the pond his own. Warm fires were so comfy in the fireplace. Enjoyed our 3 days so much. Recommended to anyone seeking peace and comfort.

We had an amazing stay at Donnas. She was so communicative, welcoming and friendly. The place was so beautiful and better than described. It was just two of us but we borh thought what a great place this cozy cabin would be for kids/families. Thanks so much Donna!

We stayed in the little barn for 3 nights in late June. The barn was perfect for my family. The space was light, airy and wonderfully rustic. My children loved the property and enjoyed playing badminton and volleyball in the backyard. The barn was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utensils. We loved Galiano Island, and our wonderful accommodations only enhanced our experience. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Anita

We had a great weekend at the little barn!

Our stay at The Little Barn on Galiano was nothing short of perfect. Nestled amongst the trees, Donna's home is a private and peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend exploring the island and we couldn't have asked for a better home away from home. We knew from the moment we stepped foot inside that this was a special place. It's obvious that Donna has put a lot of care and love into building such a beautiful home -- the attention to detail throughout the barn is impressive and delightful. The outdoor shower was by far one of the highlights of our stay: we arrived late in the evening after a long day at work, but standing under the hot shower while staring up at the stars turned the stresses of city life into a distant memory. The wood-burning stove was a welcome treat in the evenings and early in the morning when there was a chill in the air. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, utensils and spices you might need for cooking a gourmet meal, and the dining room sits underneath a beautiful skylit canopy and looks out onto the lush garden. We had amazing sleeps during our stay thanks to the very comfortable bedding and nothing but peace and quiet (the frogs singing us to sleep certainly helped). The Little Barn was a little slice of heaven for us this past weekend. Everything exceeded our expectations and we would be back in a heartbeat.

The little barn was a cozy, sweet place to stay! it was clean, and had all we needed for a lovely get away. the host was very communicative and helpful. the outdoor shower was the best. definitely recommend this spot :)

Lovely tranquil spot. We felt very snug in The Little Barn in the heavy downpours during our stay, and really enjoyed the frog chorus. We also enjoyed playing in the excellent kitchen. The comfortable bed added to a very relaxing stay.

Sandy is a great host and is easy to communicate with. His cottage is nestled within Galiano's beautiful wilderness and is very peaceful and quiet. His cottage also accommodates plenty of necessities/features for guests such as propane gas stove, large fridge, wifi, air conditioner and hot water. The Maple Lodge cottage have rows of skylight to look at the stars, we saw bald eagles flying overtop. Pretty nice view of the ocean too! It's a dog friendly property - our dog loved her stay! Highly recommend Galiano Island and staying at Sandy's cottage.

Sandy was very accommodating and kind. The cabin has an amazing view and was super comfortable. We'll be back for sure!!

The cabin is bigger than you expect. The skylights and well positioned to lie on the bed and just stare up at the stars, beautiful.

We had a lovely time. Very dog-friendly spot. Can highly recommend.

What a great spot to get away to. The lodge is big, airy and clean nestled in the quiet forest with a view of the ocean. Sandy is a great host. We highly recommend this spot.

What a perfect little secluded getaway. We were attending a wedding but would definitely like to go back when we could spend more time just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Great spot, beautiful scenery. Huge bed!

We loved our stay at Sandy's and wished we could have stayed longer. Sandy was an excellent host. The cabin is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Equipped with everything you need plus an amazing review. Would stay here again and recommend to friends.

L'endroit est très agréable, dans la forêt avec vue au lointain sur l'océan. Les levés de soleil sont merveilleux. Et le calme est garanti. Nous avons vécu des jours très agréables ! Tout était merveilleusement préparé à notre arrivée. The place is very nice in the forest with excellent views of the ocean. The sunrises are wonderful. And peace is guaranteed. We had very nice days! Everything was wonderfully prepared when we arrived.

Helen's cabin is an amazing gateway. The cabin is easy to reach once on Galiano, but is nestled between trees and is up on a hill, which makes it feel remote, and makes it a really cozy gateway. The fireplace is awesome, the kitchen is well equipped, the views are amazing. Highly recommend this if you're seeking an island gateway! We met Helen on our last day, she's very nice!

We stayed here for a month with our one-year-old. It was private and beautiful - we loved it. It isn't the best location for getting around by bicycle or foot, though I think that's more of a Galiano situation more than this particular Airbnb. Helen was a great host and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again.

A simple, lovely place. All the kitchen needs are there. Even great knives, which is a rarity at rentals. Definitely hike Mt Galliano, you will not regret it. The view is phenomenal. Kayaking was also great--we saw lots of seals and bald eagles.

My fiancée and I spent a nice quiet relaxed New Years in this comfy, cozy cabin. The kitchen had more than everything that we needed and we felt right at home lounging by the warm wood stove. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away from the city without going too far!

The cabin was secluded and quiet which suited our purposes for the long weekend. But the listing was not accurate in that there was no sofa bed. In fact there was no couch at all to sit on in front of the small wood stove. It wasn't very cosy because of that. There was just one chaise lounge suitable for just one person and it wasn't very comfortable. I wouldn't normally be bothered by this but the listing sold the cabin as a romantic getaway. Two arm chairs side by side do not a romantic getaway make. Host emailed us to say the oven was not working. She expressed hope she could leave it that way until after the weekend. But in the end she was more than happy to get someone in after I said we were really hoping to use it.

What a wonderful trip to Galiano! We were all pleasantly surprised by how very well equipped the cabin was, and I have to say that the pictures don't do the place justice; the cabin is just beautiful and it was a lovely place for us all to hang out, cook, eat and drink together! Helen was on the island while we were there, and we all appreciated what a truly generous and welcoming host she was. We would go back there in a heartbeat.

Helen's hidden cabin was relaxing and cozy. It was very quiet and a perfect place to out as a family. Scenic beaches (especially Montague Harbour) was a short drive away. The cabin is also very close to a corner store that is very well-equipped with food and a good selection of alcohol. The wood stove in the cabin made it so cozy, and the extra touches, like nice blankets, furniture and dishes, made it feel homey. We had everything we needed to cook, if we wanted to, or it was a short drive to yummy restaurants and cafes (pizza at Babes in the Woods is amazing!). Thanks, Helen!!!

Wendy richly deserves her super host status! Thanks for a great stay, Wendy.

I booked this for relatives travelling with us. They were impressed with the accommodation and enjoyed their stay.

Wendy is very friendly and helpful, the place is very neat and thoughtful. We had a very relaxed and quite vacation. Everything is great~

We really enjoyed our stay at Wendy's place. In fact, this has been the best Airbnb experience I have ever had so far! Wendy is a great host and went above and beyond to make sure we truly enjoyed our stay. Her place is very clean and has been thoughtfully designed. It was our first time in Salt Spring and she provided lots of helpful information. The fresh black berries and grinned coffee that she provided everyday made our breakfasts more enjoyable. When we arrived, there was a bottle of delicious blackberry wine waiting for us that she had made herself. When we arrived home on our anniversary, she had left some delicious brownies and roses along with a lovely note for us. She also gave me a cute plant for my garden. All in all I'd say staying at her place made our trip so much more enjoyable! :)

Wendy is a great host, we enjoyed our stay..a very quiet and peaceful setting. The granola and yogurt was amazing.

Wendy and Larry have put a lot of thought and effort into creating a very comfortable place to stay. Our stay here was at the end of a 5-week trip and this was the best place we stayed. The large room is part of their home, but with total privacy, including separate bathroom and patio area for breakfast outside or relaxing in the evening. Coffee and granola with fruits were provided each morning and they were always happy to help out with tips on getting round and discovering the island.

My stay at The Chocolate Factory could not have been more enjoyable! Wendy was a great host and gave us lots of useful information on things to do in Salt Spring when we arrived. I especially enjoyed the fresh blackberries from Wendy's garden to go with breakfast. If I return to Salt Spring I would love to stay here again.

This is a lovely house close to the beach, a mailbox filling with fresh flowers standing in front. We have a one room suite with private bathroom at Wendy's house. Wendy is a nice lady and always ready to help. We have several fruit, milk and beverage in the fridge. Wendy also prepared a bottle of plum wine, which was made by herself. We feel very comfortable stay at this place, and pleasure meet such a nice host.

Sweet little gem of a place to stay while on the island!

John and Caroline were so welcoming and kind. They are fantastic hosts and we truly enjoyed our stay in their yurt. The location in the woods is peaceful and quiet (and surrounded by blackberries) and it's a short walk to the beach or the town of Ganges. The yurt was clean, bright, cozy, and truly delightful. 10/10 would stay again.

fun experience. Easy to walk to Ganges.

We absolutely loved our stay in the yurt! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, the space had everything we needed (complete with eggs for breakfast), and the property was filled with lush patches of blackberries. Although I was skeptical about the outdoor shower and toilet, they were very well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay here again!

The perfect hideaway and close to town!

This is a truly unique, not-to-be-missed experience! John and Caroline have an absolutely gorgeous property in the woods of Salt Spring Island, and the outdoor setting allows you to appreciate it to the fullest. The yurt is a very cool structure. Tent-like in construction, but fully furnished and powered inside. It even has a stereo and a small CD collection; we woke up and got ready while chilling to Kate Bush! After a wonderful sleep we spent the morning relaxing on the small patio outside the yurt, eating wild blackberries, and meeting John and Caroline's friendly dog, who came down for a visit. Communication was clear and prompt, and check-in and -out were a breeze. John greeted us upon and arrival and spent some time giving us a tour of their property and telling us a bit about the area and the yurt. He directed us to a short trail behind their property as well, from which we were able to stroll down to the beach. He was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. Visitors should be aware of a few things (these are probably made clear in the ad too): first, both the shower and the toilet are outdoors. While they are partially enclosed within wooden structures, and while there is a great deal of privacy afforded by the foliage and the structures, they are still very much outdoors. We loved having the fresh air and a view of the woods while using the facilities! But others may not be comfortable with this. Second, there is a bit of a walk down a steepish trail from the driveway to the yurt. We appreciated the tour through the property and the blackberry bushes, but might be difficult for those with limited mobility. Just a few things to be aware of. All in all, this was a very memorable stay for us. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience the natural beauty of the island while still not giving up your creature comforts!

We stayed one night in Caroline's yurt and wish it could have been more. It was completely quiet and peaceful, very close to Ganges, with access to a beach we swam at just a 15 minute walk away. It was an awesome and unique experience staying in this original yurt...Mongolian horse hair rope and everything. Clean, comfortable, and surrounded in the most delicious blackberry bushes...we were in heaven.

Staying in the yurt was quite an enjoyable experience. The walk down the hill is rather a rugged one and going up is pretty steep. We ate so many huge ripe blackberries, listened to a hooting owl, and enjoyed the warm outdoor shower.

Elizabeth was a fantastic host. Would certainly recommend her B and B to any potential guests.

It was a magically place to stay right across the street from the beach. We could lie in bed and hear the waves crashing. Elizabeth was amazing and did everything to make us feel welcome and taken care of. I didn't want to leave.

What an awesome view! We only briefly stayed at Elizabeth's place, but it was great.

A beautiful suite in a quiet spot with an amazing view!!

Blue Heron by the Sea is an absolutely delightful, beautiful and tranquil place to stay. A very clean, cozy and stylishly decorated suite with a gorgeous view of the ocean. We loved sitting at the sweet dining table by the bay window gazing out over the water and listening to the waves. Liz is a wonderful host - very warm and hospitable. A beautiful place to stay on Salt Spring Island. We highly recommend it!

Elizabeth's place is immaculate, with comfortable well-appointed spaces in kitchen, sitting area and bedroom. She's friendly and a great host but allows guests their space to enjoy. Heartily recommend.

Gorgeous and peaceful little hideaway

Liz is a gracious host that went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The location faces the ocean, cozily tucked away but with a lovely cafe and restaurant just down the street. Everything's immaculate and spotless. Lovely stay, would recommend for couples who enjoy a quiet evening after a busy day of exploring.

We had a wonderful, restful winter retreat at Kim's cottage. Salt Spring Island had a snow fall of 1-2ft during our stay which was originally predicted as less than 1 inch. Kim's cottage was well stocked with books, games, music and movies - not to mention plenty of room to play in the snow outside! The hot tub was amazing in the snow! We had a marvelous time. We'll be back!

Everything was great! My girlfriend and I had a quiet and relaxing weekend on Salt Spring Island. The cottage was cozy and private, just what we were looking for. Gazing at the stars on a cold night while in a hot tub was an experience worth doing again anytime. Thank you!

The Cottage of Tranquility was exactly that. The location, lay out, and general vibe of the property is superb. The animals are adorable and friendly; and Kim and Philip are kind and responsive hosts. I've stayed in AirBnB's all over the world and this was my favourite! I will definitely book it again when returning to Salt Spring :)

The cottage was wonderful. The movie and cd collection were great. The hot tub was a joy. Don't forget to visit the onsite model train exhibit. Philip puts on a great show.

'Twas truly a beautiful spot to spend a few days and get away from town. I wouldn't change anything. We forgot to sign the guestbook but I have recommended to parents that they stay there as I know they and most others would appreciate the unique situation of the cottage. A great woodsy feel with plenty of privacy and great hosts. Both my thumbs are up.

We spent Christmas here and had such a great time. The location is quiet and peaceful, it's a great place to escape to and have a truly relaxing break. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and only a short drive from town. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit and really appreciated the welcome basket. Highly recommended!

Very tranquil and quiet location away from the town. Lots of leaflets on the area. Welcome grocery pack waiting our arrival. Hosts invited us for a cup of tea and recommended some areas to see on our further travels. Philip also showed us the model railway which was interesting and a nice added attraction that they have. The cottage displays some artwork by the very talented Kim.

This was my third stay here which speaks for itself! I came with friends this time (been with my boyfriend past 2 times). The cottage is perfect for a weekend with friends OR a romantic getaway! Thanks again Kim and family :)
