The suite exceeded all of our expectations, in every way! Photos are beautiful but they don't do the suite justice. Stunning property with a little ocean view from the balcony. Suite was perfectly clean, and was stocked with various thoughtful things that we weren't expecting. Farm fresh eggs and local bread were left for us, along with other breakfast items. Paintings and pottery from local artists decorated the unit, many beautiful pieces for sale. Bed was very comfortable, lots of fun books to curl up and flip through. Will definitely be back the next time we return to the island. Would recommend to absolutely anyone, with the exception of those who may not be able to do stairs, as the bedroom suite was in a loft. Ron and Theresa, thank you so much for sharing your stunning property with us. Was an absolute pleasure.

Very comfortable private residence!

A workmate and myself shared this loft style home for a week. It has everything you need and both the main bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The second level balcony has a treehouse type of feel and view and the grounds are surrounded by flowers and forest on one side. It has a full size fridge and freezer which was helpful. The owners were very accommodating and understanding. I would definitely book here if I was to return.

Warm and lovey gateway in Salt Spring Island, in a beautiful, well-appointed cottage.

Ron and Theresa were welcoming and warm, offering anything possible to make our stay comfortable. Upon entering we found a fresh french bread, farm fresh eggs and coffee. The house is surrounded by the gorgeous flowers tended by Theresa; it is filled with Ron's artwork and that of their daughter. A joyThe house is clean and cozy and the bed is terrific. If we were to return to the island, we would surely stay again. Highly recommended for a sweet and comfortable place to relax, read and hiking.Ruth and Mark
