Very cute cabin. Accommodated 2 adults and 2 teens perfectly! Easy to access from ferry. Can walk to get coffee but have to drive to access everything else. Host was accommodating and kind.
The cottage had everything that we needed. We enjoyed our restful stay in the beautiful cottage. We didn’t see the ducks, but hope to see them next time!. Thank you to our kind hosts. We look forward to coming again. Thank you!
This was the perfect spot to stay over a long weekend while we attended a friend's wedding nearby. Christina was a wonderful and communicative host, who even extended the invite to us to join in a gathering she was hosting at the main house up the drive. The cottage was comfortable, private, clean, and well stocked, and the property was lovely and peaceful with mature fruit trees and lots of shade. We especially enjoyed visits from Paprika the cat on our little deck! One thing to note is that the driveway is a little steep and bumpy, so should be taken cautiously with cars with low clearance. Overall a lovely stay, and we'd definitely come back.
This place is very cute and cozy. It's very comfortable and clean! The ducks are very cute too. My only suggestion is when you are coming to stay, bring some camp chairs or something comfortable for sitting outside! Other than that it is perfect
Clean, comfortable space in a great location on Salt Spring Island. Hosts were very easy to contact and let us check in early which was greatly appreciated. Highlights: comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, great location, space was very clean, fresh plums on arrival was a very sweet touch Areas for improvements/advice for future guests: ill-equipped for 6 people. We were a group of 3, but any more than 4 would struggle (not enough seats around the dining table, sofa only fits 3-4 people max, no additional lounging chairs). Driveway requires a 4WD; it was steep and gravelly Stairs to the loft sleeping space are steep and feel quite exposed. Option to use the futon in the lounge if you get vertigo/scared of heights! Overall would recommend to others and would come again. Thank you!
Loved the cottage but the road access is poorly maintained full of deep potholes. Location & cottage fantastic though. Suggest a second mirror perhaps behind the bedroom door since only a small mirror in the bathroom was quite limiting.Host was very kind. Cottage was lovely but we did use a brown duvet from the bedroom closet that gave 1 of the girls a rash. It was smelly & unclean.

Thank you for your honest comments. The driveway is getting new gravel this week. Sorry you visited before that could happen. And the blanket in the bedroom closet was one a guest had left there that I stashed out of the way. The linen closet in the hallway is where there were extra towels, wash cloths, hand towels and fresh linen with an extra clean duvet and extra set of pillows. There were two fresh duvets on the master bed, one in the loft and a fourth one in the linen closet in the hallway. I should have indicated that more clearly.
We can't thank the host enough. Not only was it as described online, but so much more. This is a magical land that feels like home no matter where you're from. The warmth, the cleanliness, the safety and the care. The host clearly wants you to feel cared for. Our 2 little girls loved it (their loft!) and we benefited from our own room. We also appreciated the use of a kitchen. Walking distance to amazing shops and restaurants, short drive to main town hub. Hiking everywhere close. Enjoy this gem of a find

You were wonderful guests and I would love to host you again.
This cabin was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 11 and 7 year old children). It was clean and a cool temperature despite hot weather. The tv came in handy during a bout of rain and we signed into our streaming with ease. The girls loved their visits from ‘Paprika’ the cat, who lets you know you the rent is due in the form of cuddles that are rewarded with loud purring. We would definitely rent again. Thank you.

Thank you, Travis for appreciating the cottage and kitty! Come again
Salt Spring Island has been my chosen home for the past 13 years. It is beautiful and I love it here. I am a community minded, art and music advocate and permaculture farmer that welcomes others into my sweet haven.
Why they chose this property
My parents and I bought this house together and loved the rural and yet practical nature of Fulford village.
What makes this property unique
This property is high up on a bluff and features a flourishing garden and native plants like garry oak and camus flowers. It is an active farm that also has chickens and ducks and a community of farmers and artists that live and work here.
