Garden cottage

Amongst the trees, away from it all and at the end of a long private driveway sits Garden Cottage; even though you feel completely secluded you are close to the ocean, parks, maybe stop by one or all of the many gourmet farm stands in the area, just enjoy the deck and the trees or in 18 minutes be at the famous Saturday market and all that Ganges has to offer.

Cabin in the woods
Peaceful with the beauty of nature all around us. The cabin was clean and fully equipped to meet our needs. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, walks in the woods and a nice cozy fire at night, this is the spot.

Beautiful property and so clean!
There was some miscommunication and assumptions made between the owner and ourselves, when it came to having a pet and when it came to the breakfast option. The owner also did not answer (ignored?) the question I posed three times in VRBO messaging about whether any discounts were available but answered my other questions. And lastly, there was no toilet paper in our cabin and so we had to text the owner to bring some over and that text was made late in the evening and not the best for the owner or for us. When the owner came to drop off the TP, my dog was on the couch, and the owner was visibly displeased and had to say to me “dogs are not allowed on the furniture.” I felt terrible, even though we had put a towel down, it was the reprimand/tone (we were paying $438/night) that felt offside. Otherwise so very clean and really lovely place.

Garden Cottage
Beautiful and clean property. Two lovely bedrooms, perfect for 2 couples or family. Huge deck with 2 sets of table and chairs. Only negative thing in my opinion is that the cottage is 19 km from the Ganges area where most of the shopping, groceries and restaurants are. Other than that, it was all good.

The Perfect Get Away Spot
Wonderful get away spot on Salt Spring Island. This beautifully appointed cottage offers a stylish , comfy decor in a peaceful setting. We cooked all our meals over 4 days but one in the well thought out kitchen. Everything you need for your next visit to the island.

Wonderful gem on Saltspring
This was the perfect place for a quiet, serene getaway. Nestled in the trees and surrounded by many welcoming birds, the cottage was ideal for a weekend to rest and recharge. Clean and private, check in/out seamless. Definitely would stay again!

Secluded Getaway
We loved staying at the cottage, the only sounds that we heard were birds chirping in the trees. We were able to use the kitchen and relax having our breakfast and dinner on the outside deck. Watching the bunnies and birds from the deck was peaceful, and the stars, oh my, so many. Would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone who wants a peaceful get away.

Delightful stay. The cottage is at the end of a long dusty road, but quiet and peaceful. About 15 minutes from Ganges and 20 minutes from Long Harbour ferry. All was as represented in the photos. We would return.

Great place! Absolutely will be visiting again. My only suggestion would be to make the place dog friendly, as I would be back more times than I could. Absolutely recommend the place. It’s quiet, tranquil and the hosts were GREAT. We checked in pretty late, and this was not an issue. We will be back 😀

Quiet & cute place 4.5 stars!
It was an overall lovely place, the owners were accommodating & the place was very comfortable. 4.5 stars because my partner and I biked from the ferry & it was quite the ride to get there - especially the steep gravel road that the house is located on. We had a fantastic time & I would stay there again in the future.

We had a peaceful getaway in this home with a forested view, large patio and outdoor space. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Ruckle Park is fairly close by with gorgeous walks through the forest and by the ocean.
