We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this suite, not only as a place to stay while exploring the island, but also as a backdrop to our intimate elopement ceremony. The building itself is really beautiful/picturesque, and is packed full of little gems to discover. There is a great sound system and a large collection of CDs there that we had fun browsing through & playing. The little library in the corner is packed full of interesting reading material and art books. Max was very welcoming and gave us some history about the building and some great restaurant recommendations when we first arrived, but otherwise kept to himself for the remainder of our stay. We hope to return again sometime soon to soak up some more of the magic that this beautiful spot has to offer! Thank you again for hosting us for our big day, truly an unforgettable experience.

This was our third stay here and it was as good as the previous two. Beatiful, huge and clean space with all the amenities and a very accommodating host. No better place to stay on Salt Spring island for a couple and a dog.

We had a perfect week relaxing in this truly magical spot. The property’s location, unique, spacious and beautifully crafted design, comfortable furnishings, carefully chosen decorative details and placement of musical instruments are welcoming and awe inspiring. This is a quiet yet expansive space with a serene water view, an excellent sound system, CD collection, library, perfect wood floor and full length floor to ceiling expansive mirror ideal for partner dance rehearsal. The small kitchen is well stocked and well equipped with cutlery and cooking utensils—there is no oven. The stove top range, toaster oven, coffee maker, kettle and cookery are more than adequate for preparing simple meals—not suitable for complex cuisine. The bathroom has a standing shower no tub and is sparkling clean with ample supply of quality towels and toiletries. Our dog was very happy with the daily visits to the off leash Duck Creek Park nearby. The area has plentiful trails and beautiful beaches accessible by car. We had excellent communication with our generous, kind and mindful host, Max. We will definitely return.

The description (and all the previous reviews) was everything this property said it would be ... and some! The photos, although stunning, really do not do it justice. You have to experience it to truly appreciate it, especially the peaceful, magical and mystical feel that it has. So much heart and love went into it's unique design and, despite it's vastness, it has a wonderful, welcoming feel to it. My dog especially loved all the wide open floor space, but his favourite pastime was sitting and looking out of the HUGE window to the forest. It is by far one of the quirkiest and best vacation properties that I have ever stayed in. Thank you Max for hosting and sharing your heartfelt memories and the history behind Flying Dreams, you too are an absolute gem!

We had a great time at Max’s place. It’s an incredibly unique space, and we had a great time sitting on the patio and listening to music on the amazing sound system. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!!

Well looked after, clean and welcoming space - would definitely recommend. We liked the open, airy feeling, with a big window to look out at the forest and the ocean below. Have a coffee on the deck, or just sit inside in one of the comfy seating areas. The building itself has history and character - with high vaulted wood beams and plenty of light. The upstairs loft is decorated warmly and feels more cozy - a great place to curl up on a couch to read, the bed is comfy, and all furniture in great shape. Everything in the kitchen was very clean and ready to use. Galley-style kitchen with small fridge, hotplate and counter top oven are all in great shape. None of the windows look out on neighbouring properties so we had lots of privacy. Most of all, the property host was friendly, helpful, and once we were all setup we were left on our own. Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short by a day, but would certainly go back!

Max's place is beautiful and spiritual. We are looking forward to returning. The accommodation space is unique both in its design and location. So grateful to Max for hosting us.

Great place, stunning views & a very special island! Highly recommended if you want to rest, rejuvenate & reconnect with nature! Max was an excellent host & went above & beyond.

The Flying Dreams property is one of a kind. With its high location, you have a lovely view of the ocean and adjoining islands. The towering floor to ceiling windows provide amazing sunrise light. Even though there is no stove, we were able to easily prepare meals using the bbq and two-burner cooktop. Access to the village and hiking trails is quick and convenient. Max is a very gracious host who makes you feel very welcome. We have visited twice now and will certainly be returning again.

Quiet, peaceful, unique location.

Nice secluded retreat - lots of great local dog walking spots!

Love this property for its location, space and peacefulness. So glad we came back and would come again. Max is a fabulous host - provides you with all the info you need then leaves you be to enjoy your stay.

My husband and I absolutely loved our four days at Flying Dreams. This unique and gorgeous property was so relaxing and peaceful. The location was quiet but close enough to everything that we needed and the view was stunning. Max is a lovely host, he is very helpful and accommodating. The property is even better than the fabulous pictures and we can’t wait to go back!

The space is beautiful and the view is wonderful.

Flying Dreams is a quiet haven on Salt Spring. The kitchen is extremely well appointed, the bbq works great, and the bed is comfortable. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s obvious in every detail down to the landscaping how much care, thought, and talent went into constructing this fantastic space… I’d definitely stay here again. Thank you Max!

We thoroughly loved our stay with Max and Angie! We especially enjoyed our morning coffees watching the sunrise over the water. A truly magical place. Everything was super clean, well stocked and comfortable, complete with an eclectic library. We hope to be back very soon!

What a beautiful place Salt Spring is. Max’s place is and was perfect for us. Quite area with pretty views. Max is the ultimate host and a genuinely nice person. We would return in A heartbeat. Thank you so much Max for everything. Marion

... and even better than the first

Definitely repeat.

Everyone reviews how great this place was, so I thought I'd review a few key points: - The bedroom is in a loft with 25 stairs, but it was no problem. My wife has pretty bad knee arthritis, but was able to do the stairs: they're carpeted and there's a good railing. - Take advantage of the full-sized fridge a short 30-second walk from the side door. The small fridge in the guest house works well, but it's small. - The two burner stove worked great: this is not a mini-stove or student stove, it's just a stove that the owner built into the kitchen island. The toaster oven is actually very good and we did both bagels and bread toasting. The propane BBQ by the side door of the guest house worked very well. - WIFI is great, and we were able to log into our Prime Video and Tubi on the smart TV. Great TV. - If travelling at night, take the "North End Road" instead of Sunset Drive... much fewer tight turns and hills. We drove our electric LEAF and there are tons of good chargers in the central and south parts of the island, with one charger nearby the house at the Fernwood Cafe. - Our dog (an alpha female Border Collie X) had a great time, and the owner's dog (Angie) was never a problem.

We were so lucky to have found this marvellous home to call our own for a week. Location and communication were perfect. Gorgeous view, gorgeous place. Thank you Max!

This place met all our needs. There is a nice view through the large windows and patio. The neighborhood is very quiet. Max and Angie live next door if you need anything. The refrigerator in the guesthouse is small, but there is a larger one (and laundry facilities) in the adjacent building.

I truly feel this is one of the coolest places I've stayed. Waking up to a gorgeous sunrise every morning really started the day out right. Max was kind and made us feel very welcome. I will 100% stay here again. A really great experience.

We loved staying at this beautiful, clean, quiet special place. It is very spacious and has gorgeous art, and lovely furniture. We will plan to come back!

The bedroom loft is the equivalent of a steep 2 story climb up or down to the main floor and the only bathroom. This is an estimate but the loft if 45 feet in the peak of the ceiling.. For us, that made it impossible to move luggage up to the bedroom. So, for any more senior travelers, imagine walking down then up 2 flights of stairs in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom! This nighttime travel wasn't disclosed in the description and you would have to very carefully put together the various photos to be prepared for this nightly hike. To get anywhere on Salt Spring for supplies, meals or entertainment is a 15 to 20 minute drive. The evening deer show was the only interesting highlight to this drive. It was very clean and well stocked. The glass and cup selection could have been more than 8 ounces since this was your water for your time upstairs.

What an amazing place! I stayed here for five-days, using the space as a writing and reflection retreat. It was perfect! The incredible architecture, the peaceful setting, the gorgeous sunrises, and the care with which the owners put into every detail made this such a wonderful trip. Thank you!

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Flying Dreams location. Open concept is an understatement as you have great, unobstructed views of the ocean, along with a lovely sitting area on the stone patio. You are located only about 15 minutes from “downtown” Ganges and can access anywhere on the island in under 45 minutes. Lots of farm/boutique stands located around the island. The folks at the Visitor Information building were very helpful and passed along great suggestions for places to check out. Our hosts were wonderful-checking in but never being intrusive in any way. Overall, a great stay on Salt Spring Island.

We loved our four days at Flying Dreams. This unique and amazing space left us relaxed and recharged. The location was quiet yet close to everything we needed and the view was stellar. Max is a welcoming and helpful host that is there to assist if need be. We hope to return in the future.

Very unusual place, in a very good way. Huge space with all the comforts. Quiet and peaceful. Friendly and accommodating host. Have already booked to go back for a longer stay.

This place is truly special! We’ve stayed all over the Island and the space Max has created is unquestionably one of the best. It’s also very private and quiet so you can sip your morning coffee while listening to the birds and enjoying the beautiful ocean and island view. Nearby, enjoy the channel ridge trails. If you’re looking to hide away in the island forests and in a unique setting…this is it! Max was a fantastic host! Quick to respond and anticipated our needs.

Large space, amazing view. Unique. Nice library. Interesting musical instruments. Overall great impression.

We have stayed here once before, and once again Flying dreams has exceeded all expectations for rest and relaxation. The setting is perfect for whatever one is looking for, exploring beautiful SSI, and returning at day’s end to Flying Dreams. All the comforts of home, all you need to do here is breathe.
