The guest house is truly lovely, tucked into the woods, off of a very private road. We would recommend driving into the home during daylight hours as finding the streets and rural roads can be challenging at night.
The home is set back from the water but there is a gorgeous deck with deck chairs where we spent sunset hours prior to going out to dinner. Jody also provides a hot tub on the deck for guest access (although we didn't enjoy it, it looked like it would be a wonderful way to unwind.)
You will be visited by owls, deer and many birds but will only hear the sounds of the wind in the trees and the water. Her cat came to visit us a few times, entertaining us by keeping an eye on birds in the trees outside of the guest house.
Jody left us a basket of breakfast treats which was unexpected (and very delicious!). The town of Ganges is a bit of a drive (about 20 minutes away) so plan accordingly for shopping trips and dinners in the local restaurants.
Since this trip was our 30th anniversary do-over/update on Salt Spring Island, we found it very romantic, private and just as we'd hoped.
Highly recommended.
