We stayed at the Orchid cottage and found the unit very clean and pretty. The cottage has a pleasant, easy-going vibe as people mill about and the owners we're accommodating. There are a lot of places to stay in Salt Spring and this cottage delivers a good feel of the island.

Because it's in the country the outside elements are a factor but that's all part of the experience. When we stayed it was in late July and warm so the cottage can get warm at night and opening a window isn't really an option. Mosquitos are an issue if windows are open. Probably a quiet fan would solve the issue and make the space comfortable.
