About this cottage rental
Delightful B&B cottage located in the popular south end of Salt Spring Island. The cottage is a completely separate and private building with parking just outside the door. There is a private outside area with a picnic table and two Adirondack chairs for your use.
The space
You’ll be close to lots of walking trails, kayak/canoe launching beaches, two swimming lakes and some of the most beautiful ocean beaches on the island. Ruckle Park, Barbara’s bakery stand, Salt Spring Cheese, Stowel Lake Farm and The Gatehouse Yoga Centre, two wineries and a brewery are all in the neighbourhood and just a few minutes away. A very special part of the island beckons.
The craftsman style cottage offers a loft bedroom with a queen bed. If you require 2 beds, we can provide the queen in the loft and a single on the main floor. The main floor offers the OPTION of a king bed (2 singles together) and is ONLY AVAILABLE BY SPECIAL REQUEST. All the beds have memory foam topped mattresses. All are very comfortable and have quality cotton sheets and goose down duvets and goose down filled pillows. Depending on your preference, YOU CAN CHOOSE which bed and bedroom suits your needs. The cottage is suitable for 2 adults. Unfortunately, this cottage is not suited for infants or young children. The cottage is completely separate from the main house.
Our pure abundant well water means you won't need to bring drinking water. The private bathroom on the main floor has a walk-in shower and low flush toilet.

Attention to detail at every turn in building this cottage has created a warm and welcoming ambience. Your hosts, Diane and Jim, will be available to offer Island information when you want it.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful little cabin in the woods. It was perfectly presented and had everything we needed.
We spent countless hours sitting at the stunning dining room window taking in the tranquil view. We were greeted warmly by the hosts and a local deer family on arrival, which made the place feel magical.
Perfect location to enjoy everything the island has to offer. We will definitely be back.

Jim and Diane were exceptionally hospitable, welcoming us at their charming B&B located on the south end of Salt Spring Island. The images on Vrbo simply cannot capture the true charm of the cabin - it is an extraordinary retreat, meticulously designed down to the smallest details, from the decor to the lighting, and even the kitchenette! The bed was super comfortable and we had restful sleeps, accompanied only by the sounds of nature.
Our hosts, Jim and Diane, were awesome, providing us with the privacy we desired, while also sharing valuable recommendations for hiking trails and other activities on the island - all of which turned out to be spot-on!
We can't wait to until we return to the cabin and would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a B&B getaway on Salt Spring Island!
