One of our favorite Airbnb experiences of all time! Not just because Salt Spring is such a magical dream island, but also because we adored Tara and Martin's little cottage in the woods. The many highlights over the course of our week-long stay include:
-Fabulous location! It's nice to be so close to Ganges but also be based in a quiet retreat set back in the woods.
-Outdoor living! My wife, 11-month baby and I spent our evenings outside on the deck. Most nights we grilled dinner on the Weber (who needs a kitchen!), took a luxurious bath in the clawfoot under the trees, and relaxed under the stars with books after the baby went to bed.
-Breakfast! There's a reason all the reviews mention Tara's wonderful breakfasts. If you're expecting the usual toast and coffee, you're in for a lovely surprise. Everyday started with the excitement of "what will she make today?". When you factor in the breakfasts to the price of Westover, it makes the place an incredible value. (Restaurants aren't cheap on Salt Spring and I doubt you could get a better breakfast).
-The baby slept so much better here than he does in our apartment in the city. He was so happy in the quiet and the trees. Maybe that had something to do with him making major leaps in his talking and crawling on the trip? Who knows, but my wife and I left Salt Spring feeling more rested than we have since he was born 11 months ago! Just that fact alone was worth the price of admission...
