Mary's place is very clean, has a nice outdoor space, and is full of supplies and furnishings that made for an efficient stay. There are lots of trees and garden spaces on the property. We had a nice soak in the hot tub on the deck, and watched a lot of birds and deer around the place. When the weather is good, sitting on the back deck (where the entrance is) is very pleasant. We slept very well on the comfy bed, and found everything we needed for the stay.
As she notes in her description, the place is quite small and a bit difficult for two people to get around in without bumping into each other. There is just one sink for all needs (the faucet is a little finicky to shut off) and the bath isn't super private. During the day, the Ganges-Fulford road traffic can be noisy, but it's quiet at night. I wouldn't recommend cooking much as the space is too small for that, but preparing simple meals is just fine and we did that a few times.
Mary also went out of her way to give us lots of privacy (she lives in the main house), but also was quickly available to provide any information we needed. Really grateful to her for allowing us to wash our laundry (we'd been camping in the rain!) and for returning a sentimental game that we inadvertently left behind.
This place is a good value on spendy Salt Spring, so we were able to splurge on other things on the island.
