Sweet Little Getaway in the Woods

This is a special place, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in this unique private getaway. Loved being surrounded in trees, peaceful and beautiful. Really enjoyed using the outdoor shower, it was kind of exciting! The bed was super comfortable and room was decorated in a very artistic manner. Thanks for an awesome stay!

Wonderful, secluded getaway!

This was a perfect getaway hidden in our own little cedar grove. The property was well stocked and it felt incredibly private. It was cozy, quiet, and the perfect spot to unwind for the weekend.

Delightful retreat

We loved our little cabin in the woods. It was a great base to explore the island and after a busy day of sight seeing, we couldn’t wait to return for a soothing bath and the relaxing tranquility of such a welcome retreat… a real treat!

Great Getaway

The cabin is so quiet and easy to relax at. Tara is an amazing host and left fresh fruit, tea, coffee, milk, muffins, and even homemade granola so that mornings were really easy and delicious. We absolutely loved the outdoor tub.

perfect.

stayed at the west over BnB for 2 nights an it was great, close enough to town but you feel so private and remote tucked away with the trees. Martin was so kind and welcoming, offering great suggestions for the activities I wanted to do; breakfast was delicious and the outdoor tub under the full moon was magic.

Beautiful Property

This is my second time staying here and each time it has been magical! The forest setting is stunning and you can enjoy it all from the bathtub on the deck. Tara is a fantastic host and is so accommodating, last minute we had to bring our cat with us and Tara was fantastic about the whole ordeal!

A lovely escape

This was a beautiful property for a super rejuvenating getaway. It was so joyful to spend time relaxing on the cozy, secluded patio, listening to bird songs and being amongst nature. Tara was very friendly during the check in and shared many tips and recommendations for local spots, but otherwise my privacy was honoured for the remainder of the trip. Tara's homemade granola truly is DELCIOUS, the reviews don't lie! Thank you Tara for the lovely stay.

Quiet location is the plus, yet hard to drive to and find. No Kleenex, no extra toilet paper, one breakfast for two night stay (one yogurt each and granola) coffee No indoor plumbing, outhouse only, wifi doesn’t work. Unit had one electrical plug in. Gas fireplace had nowhere to light (pilot only). This stay was a disappointing experience. 😔

Cute and Cozy!

Nestled in the forest, this little cabin is a perfect getaway. Unfortunately, Salt Spring Island was experiencing an infestation of tent caterpillars at the time of our visit. Being in the forest, this little cabin was a prime target, making it impossible to enjoy the deck or the bathtub! However, the hikes, scenery and the village of Ganges made up for this as did the coziness of the little cabin. Breakfasts that Tara provided were also a plus.

This property was beautiful and provided an amazing, unique experience with the outdoor bathtub under the stars with privacy and beautiful ferns and cedars all around. It is “rustic” and the outhouse can be a bit chilly for those midnight bathroom breaks, but the sleeping accommodations and breakfast were cozy, comfortable and lovely! Breakfast was yummy and Tara was super-helpful in pointing out the must-see and so things on the island. While you can walk into the village for meals from here, in November it’s dark early so it’s likely best to have a vehicle to drive out for meals (although there is a bbq, plates and utensils available). I would recommend this accommodation and experience whole-heartedly to others as a rustic, unique, peaceful retreat experience!

you’ve got to get here!

uhmmm this trip to salt spring was honestly perfect. Both Tara and Martin ensured I was comfortable and well taken care of. It’s been two weeks since leaving now and I am still craving their breakfasts... I feel lucky to have spent time at their air bnb and consider the experience a soft and sweet memory. A bath under the stars and my feet in the moss helped me to reconnect with myself. Thank you for such treasured moments!! xx Em

Peaceful Retreat in the Forest

We spent three days at this incredible little cabin in the forest and would definitely return. Tara was an amazing host and met us as we arrived with a wave and a promise to bring us some goodies once we were settled. As we pulled up it felt like we had opened a storybook and entered a fairytale setting! The cabin was cozy and clean, the outdoor kitchen cute with fresh flowers and the bed was the most comfy we have slept in while on holiday. Tara came down with fruit, homemade granola, bakery muffins coffee and cream. She had a map of the area and made recommendations and answered all our questions. During our stay she checked in with us online and made sure we were relaxing and offered to bring more goodies if we needed. The island, itself, was a beautiful place to explore. Mount Maxwell offered beautiful views from the top and Baders Beach incredible sunsets. We kayaked with seals in Burgoyne Bay and bought soaps and lavender pepper from Sacred Mountain Lavender Farm. Bring your frisbees and play a round of golf at Mouat Park and Disc Golf. Just a heads up, the trails are shared with pedestrians, and it was still a lot of fun! I think our favourite part was coming back and bathing in the forest. A relaxing, refreshing and magical experience to soak in the tub under the stars in a lush green forest. We would highly recommend (although, we’d rather not have to share) this incredible oasis and the genuinely thoughtful and kind host that Tara is ❤️

We had the most amazing stay at the Westover! Rejuvenating and relaxing stay, best sleep I’ve had in a long time!
