Wendy is a very warm and welcoming host; she puts you at ease and clearly wants you to be comfortable and well taken care of. From being greeted with a glass of her own well chilled wine, to the good strong coffee ready for brewing in the morning, with fresh picked blackberries & yogurt for breakfast, to the delicious single chocolate waiting for you, Wendy wants to delight and treat you. A true host. I appreciate her eclectic aesthetic in thrift store vintage and local well made art. the location is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Wendy is a well of information on the island and very helpful in sending you on adventures. She has a good balance of engaging conversation and giving you your space. She and the Chocolate Factory really enhanced my experience on Salt spring Island - I would definitely stay there again!
