Our stay (excluding the Feb weather!) was exceptional. The house has everything we count on when it comes to being comfortable and self-sufficient. The kitchen has all the accessories we needed to cook, which we love to do as a family. There is also a gas grill located conveniently just outside the deck door. Lorraine was responsive and helpful with our questions. The location was private and quiet. Kudos for a terrific stay!

We stayed for 3 nights and it was a very restful and comfortable place. The house has everything we needed in a beautiful location.
The only thing I would change is to have the online booking info be the same as the information binder in regards to the smoking policy. Online said there was a designated place to smoke outside but the binder said the entire property was completely nonsmoking. Our friend who does smoke didn’t want to make any issues so went for a walk off the property to have his breath of fresh air.
We all enjoyed the fully appointed kitchen and bathrooms. I was able to stay in the main suite and it was amazing! Truly felt like a we had a much needed rest from the grind at home.
The view was stunning but overcast most of our stay so only got to see one fantastic sunset 😁

We have an amazing stay at Lorraine’s place located right in the heart of Salt Spring Island. 4 adults and 2 kids (infant and toddler) were very comfortable there. You’ll love the front deck with a sunset view. House was clean and has all the amenities that you’ll need. Lorraine lives on the same property but, honestly, you’d never notice.

Had an amazing stay. The house was absolutely perfect. Great location, great amenities, and amazing sunsets. The house is furnished with everything you need. This was the first time visiting the island. What a wonderful place! I highly recommend staying here. Would come back and stay here any time. The host is very nice and extremely helpful with the layout of the island. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay!!

The house is super comfortable, with a very pleasant deck, and a kitchen that was even bigger than expected (and well equipped). Quiet and peaceful! We enjoyed the sunsets over Vancouver Island. Late summer, the neighborhood had some low water levels on their well, so showers needed to be quick (which was no problem for us). Host was great, provided plenty of bottled water for drinking and cooking.

The property is as advertised, beautiful deck with comfortable seating to take in the glorious water view & watch the Hummingbirds. Very clean and comfortable house. Nice big kitchen, dining & lounge room.

This was a fantastic rental. Spacious, well-appointed home for our family of four, with a great fenced in portion of the yard for our dog to run around. Beautiful view of the water and quick 10 minute drive to town. Lorraine was a great host, and very helpfully alerted us to problems with the ferry to Vancouver Island (without which the next step of our journey would have been a bit of a disaster!). Would stay here again without hesitation.

Beautiful view, well maintained home, and nicely equipped kitchen made for a great stay. The neighbourhood is in a quiet area but still not far from Ganges.
The host, Lorraine, was easy to communicate with and checking in couldn’t have been easier.
We had a great time on the island.

Our family of four and my parents truly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, well stocked with anything you could ever need to prepare your own meals and a very comfortable layout for two couples and our kids. We loved exploring the yard and were lucky to be there during prime blackberry picking. We spent many mornings and evenings on the deck watching the hummingbirds, squirrels and other wildlife as well as the view down to the ocean and across to Vancouver island. Many of our days were spent exploring the numerous beaches and lakes as well as a hike up Mt Erskine (started from the Ganges side). We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if returning to Saltspring Island.

We spent a much needed week relaxing at Lorraine's place. The house was spacious and comfortable and we completely appreciate that fact that she allowed pets. Lorraine was an excellent host, and would happily rent this place again. be prepared to walk up some significant hills if you stay here, the beach the trails, everything is uphill. However the hike up Mount Erskine is definately worth the climb!

What a lovely home that Lorraine has created for her guests.
The view and deck are heavenly. The kitchen so well appointed, that I could cook anything. Beds are comfortable.
We sat on the perfectly located deck many an evening and watched the amazing sunsets....
Check in and out was smooth and Lorraine provided local tips for our adventures. Hope to come again in the future.

Perfect family getaway
The house was perfect for our family getaway, just enough space for me and my hubby, our son and his girlfriend, our daughter and our fur babies. Lorraine was great, helped us out with what we needed, the house was clean and well appointed. The dogs had so much fun running around the yard and the view was stunning! Hope to stay here again.

Beautiful home, lovely host!
We stayed for a week - 2 adults and 2 teens - and it was perfect. Lovely layout and spotlessly clean. The view is fantastic - spent most nights stargazing and searching for NEOWISE :) Super comfortable and relaxing with regular visits from deer, hummingbirds, eagles and rabbits. Lorraine is a superhost and we look forward to our next visit.

Having stayed on Salt Spring twice before, we were interested to try the Western side of the island and delighted to find this tucked-away, delightful offering. Only 7 minutes drive from Ganges, it is very peaceful and private. The house is charming, well designed with separation between the master bedroom and the other two bedrooms. Two bathrooms is a bonus. Immaculately clean, lovely bed linens and comfy furniture. The view from the deck is just gorgeous, especially in the late afternoon and into the evening with amazing sunsets. Lorraine is a wonderful host, very helpful and professional. We stayed 16 nights and wished it could be longer - a perfect retreat from the real world.

Tranquil and beautiful
If your planning to visit salt spring island , this place we can highly recommend. Cozy gathering area with bedrooms on either side giving each party in the group privacy. Parking was a little tight and recommend to bring bottle water as it does have a little off taste coming out of the tap. All n all , great location and will book here again when we return to salt spring!
