Heart Stone Cottage lives up to its name. It is a sweet little haven on beautiful Salt Spring Island. Fall asleep looking up at the stars through the skylight above your head. The bed, linens, pillows are comfy and a welcome after a full day out on the island. The bathroom has a very large shower and all the amenities. The kitchen has a bar fridge, hotplate, kettle, coffee grinder (try the coffee from the lavender farm if you go), microwave, and popcorn maker. Cindy kindly got me started off with the food basics when I arrived and gave me plenty of information to give me a great start on the island. The flower boxes outside the cottage windows were bursting with beautiful flowers and the rocking seat outside is a great place to have your morning coffee. Cindy and family are caring, heart-full people, and for the 3 weeks that I spent in their lovely cottage they were there if I needed anything, but completely respected my privacy, so I was able to have the kind of quiet retreat that I was after. The cottage is a 5-minute drive to beautiful Mary Lake for swimming and about the same to Ganges. I highly recommend this little cottage. I miss it already!
