This is a slice of contemporary cottage style meeting fairytale energy. The surrounding landscape lends itself to the feeling of being deeply secluded, yet the cabin is close to the road, though traffic noise isn’t bothersome, and Ganges is a short drive away. Proximity to Salt Spring Island Cheese is an enormous plus.
There’s room for everyone and if you’re a sanity of four like us, there’s room to stretch out and get cozy. The beds are comfy, the house is warm, especially with a fire in the gorgeous ceramic clad wood stove.
Bring your cooler with dry ingredients and produce to cook away. Alicia has a great assortment of pots pans and skillets and some simple lovely tableware. We requested a little compost bin while we were there, and anything else that we needed was sorted out in rapid and friendly communication. We felt welcome and relaxed.
Our trip was in the deep of winter during the heavy snowstorm following Christmas and it was magical, but the Sweetgrass Guesthouse holds beauty and comfort for every season’a backdrop. But I can say with certainty that the rain on the tin roof was the winter time lullaby I needed to unwind during our stay, and we look forward to returning in the coming years.
