Jarvis and Jocelyn are thoughtful and warm hosts and made our first getaway in awhile a really memorable one. This Tiny House is well laid out, with all the comforts you can hope for in a home away from home. The summer weather, while we were here, was really comfortable for dining on the deck and sleeping in the loft. Our girls enjoyed their own bedroom with a separate entrance and the living/dining area was perfect for reading (lots of books already on the shelves), lounging, or games (their collection).
My family loves exploring and with Jarvis’ suggestion, found some wonderful spots to take in the Garry oaks, arbutus, and breezy coastlines of intertidal zones and shell beaches all through Ruckle Provincial Park. He also recommended the running trails up to Reginald Hill and the views up at the peak were beautiful, overlooking Fulford Bay and both Mt. Tuam and Mt. Maxwell.
Nearby Stowel Lake is perfect for an afternoon swim and if you can, try and make it to Salt Spring Island Bread Co. open only on Fridays. This Tiny House is the ideal spot to explore SSI, although you don’t have to go far to get the real experience of the Southern gulf islands.
We are grateful for Jocelyn and Jarvis’ generosity of information and for the way they welcomed our family. The fresh fruit, milk and bread, and eggs (direct from their chickens) were more than sufficient for our daily breakfast. Our girls (9&12 yrs) were enamoured with their chickens and bunnies and Jarvis spent a bit of time answering their questions. We highly recommend planning your next SSI vacation with their Tiny House as your base. We know we’d love to return again!
