This place was perfect for our family of three: it's deep in the south end of Salt Spring, but that doesn't mean it's inconvenient because of all the little businesses along the road and tucked into the woods (both seasonal and not) nearby. Arriving to a fridge loaded with homemade yoghurt, eggs, juice, butter, milk and cream and fresh fruit, granola and loaf of great bread made our landing very soft the first day, not to mention the delivery of a freshly baked plate of scones the following morning. Occasional treats continued to appear during our 10 days in the house...homemade muffins, or a jug of local apple juice. The decks are comfortable places to read or drink coffee in the shade or the sun, a very pleasant occupation looking out over the lavender and rosemary filled gardens and small meadow in front of the house. Towels are thick and fluffy, bedding is good quality, toiletries are high end and island made from Salt Spring Soapworks, and the outdoor shower is wonderful. It's very private and peaceful: a local deer comes at night right up onto the front steps to look through the front door to see what you're doing. It's a short walk to Tony's Tarts, the Salt Spring Bread Co. , good blackberry picking, the largest fir tree on the island, and the gates of Ruckle Park. Hosts are warm, responsive and easy to reach but also give you a lot of space to relax and enjoy.
