Come stay in our beautiful farmhouse in the lovely Fulford Valley, nestled between Mount Maxwell and Mount Bruce on 5 acres of farmland and forest. Family friendly and quiet, we have a fully equipped kitchen and a huge private backyard to listen to the birds. We're located steps from the lovely Salt Spring Island Brewery and have walking trails down to Burgoyne Bay park. Our property also has a free-ranging duck, several chickens and a large friendly puppy! Our place is perfect for children – just let us know if you would like us to set up a travel cot, highchair, change table or potty, and toys (we also have safety gates installed). We're surrounded by birds, flowers and lots of trees. It's the perfect peaceful retreat in both summer and winter.

You are welcome to use the yard, wander through the fields, or explore our forest. Please don't enter the chicken area without your hosts, but if you would like to say hi to them, come knock on our door! Our family lives in the front side of the house (separate access and everything) and we're pretty friendly! If you have children, you're welcome to use the sandbox and slide with parental supervision. We don't guarantee the backyard is 100% free of nettles but we do our absolute best!

We respect your privacy so we provide all our guests with fresh chicken eggs as well as other local breakfast ingredients for you to prepare. We also bake fresh sourdough for our guests when time (and our toddler!) permits. The water from the tap is safe to drink as it comes directly from the spring at the top of the mountain and then goes through both a particle filter and UV filter. It's the best water we've ever tasted!

Our family lives in the adjoining house, so we're available to help with anything you need, but do ask you stick to quiet times to respect our peace and quiet. We also have a large, very friendly puppy. You're welcome to interact with him if you would like, but you don't have to!

Please note that the bathroom is located on the second floor, up a set of stairs, and through the master bedroom, so the space is not suitable for those that cannot use stairs.

Our property is not impacted by the new short term rental rules in BC, due to our location on Salt Spring Island. However we do meet the requirements it sets, out of respect for it, as the space shares a roof with our primary residence (and we serve an a la carte continental breakfast as we are a bed and breakfast).

Pets: We generally do not accept pets due to the livestock on our property, however if you have a very well behaved animal, please reach out to us and ask – we assess on a case-by-case basis. Please note that we do charge a pet cleaning fee as we must do an extra deep clean to ensure the space is fur-free for the next guests.
