Living Area: Relax with a book by the electric fireplace or enjoy streaming options on the 65-inch smart TV, with access to YouTube, Crave, Netflix, Apple TV, and Samsung TV.

One parking spot is provided.
I live on-site and do yard-work as needed. Your interaction with me is up to you! I am here if needed. My default is to let you have your space and drop into your own experience.
You will see deer and a beautiful array of birds. We are off the road so you will hear traffic from time to time. If the creek is running, that is what you'll mostly hear, however. We do not have any pests, rodents or predators on-site. The cottage is comfortable and rustic only in its external appearance.
There are no laundry facilities in the cottage, but I am happy to run a load for you if requested with a small fee. Laundry request papers are found in the cottage to fill out with instructions.

This was the perfect place to stay! The cabin is very nice, bed is comfy, and the location is so quiet and peaceful! The sound of the creek at night lulled me right to sleep. Stephanie was a wonderful host, I will definitely stay again!
Appreciated the tranquility of the cottage over the week. Nice to fall asleep and wake up to the creek next door. Beautiful and comfortable unit with easy access to Vesuvius and Ganges. Thanks Stephanie for the experience.
Under a canopy of trees, we were quickly able to submit to vacation mode and let yesterday’s stressors melt away. Although the cottage is tiny, it has everything you need.
The cottage is very comfortable and well cared for. The bed and bedding is very soft and cozy. Everything you need is provided. Stephanie provides very clear instructions and support. We had a really peaceful weekend get-away.Tip: to lock the door, you need to pull it closed while following the pin pad instructions, otherwise it won't lock. We highly recommend this cottage and will likely stay again when we get a chance.
We had fun adventuring the trails on Salt Spring from this cozy landing pad out in nature!

Hello Susan, yes, the creeks on Salt Spring Island come and go with the seasons and the rains. It has been a very hot and dry summer this year. We hope you'll try us out in the wet season to experience the creek in full force. Thank you for staying with us.
The little cabin was clean, quiet, and well outfitted for a nice vacation in the Gulf Islands. The only sound we heard at night was a baby dear softly calling for its mother. Hope they were reunited. The location of this spot was also pretty convenient for reaching all the sites on Salt Spring and there's a nice beach close by.
We stayed 3 nights. The creek was running so at night it sounds like a lullaby! Clean , great location and the host was sweet. We would stay again for sure.
Beautiful, clean, and warm studio cabin in the middle of the forest. Total peace and quiet, even with the host’s house nearby. We even spotted who we think was Donna, the local deer! Shops and restaurants are just 5-10 minutes away. Overall, a perfect getaway!
