This was the perfect private oasis in the ideal location. Just a few minutes drive from most things we wanted to do (swim, hike, go to town, visit studios), this well-designed character cabin in the woods offered our group with three teenage girls abundant space and comfort for our summer getaway.
The images online are a good representation. The cabin is set back down a short lane from the road, so you are protected and it’s quiet. There is a large field in front of the building, which creates an openness and establishes a screen between you and the owner’s property.
We enjoyed the excellent layout of the cabin with numerous small spaces to relax and enjoy, including a sweet outdoor deck. The loft upstairs was huge and the kids could sprawl on the beds or the floor to play games. The downstairs bedroom was a nice size and all beds were comfortable. Nice bathroom with laundry and fantastic shower gel and shampoo made on Salt Spring!! Lots of counter-top space in the kitchen and large fridge. The kitchen could use just a few more items to add convenience (bowls of different sizes, serrated knives), but this is a minor concern in an otherwise lovely space. There are lots of good-sized windows in the house for air-flow, which was a pleasure on hot days.
We enjoyed the simplicity of arrival and departure and having ample parking, although we didn’t need it.
Alicia, the host, was always friendly and prompt with communication and had lots of great suggestions for things to do on the island.
We would love to come again!
