About this property

Mossy Hill Guesthouse

For your peace of mind, we have improved our infection control strategy to include a thorough disinfecting with natural alcohol based products. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products to avoid any sensitivities you might have.
Relax in a beautifully finished two-bedroom get away including laundry and a four piece bath with heated tile floors to give you a truly home away from home experience.
The ambiance has an emphasis on clean, simple lines while not sacrificing the character which is achieved through special touches like hundred-year-old reclaimed fir doors, prominent fir trim, and natural light solar tubes.
Between the extra sound insulation and comfortable king and queen sized beds you can be assured that you wake up refreshed. A full queen sized sofa bed is also available for groups of more than four people.
The private entrance opens onto reclaimed brick patio area for a morning coffee, an 'al fresco' barbecue or evening nightcap.

Lovely property, very well equipped kitchen. The location is very peaceful, but not too far from the town center, so convenient for shopping and exploring. The beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Very convenient location and excellent communication from our hosts who were so helpful and flexible about letting us check in earlier with our 5 month old granddaughter. The accomodation is lovely inside and the fruit bowl and breakfast things were a big bonus. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay on the island and be close toGanges.

Perfect Accommodation

The suite was spacious, clean and bright. We were very impressed with how thoughtfully appointed it was, we had everything we needed. Luba and Bruce were great communicators yet gave us lots of privacy. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and our hummingbird visitors, as well as seeing bald eagle and scenic views when we strolled up the road. We would definitely stay again.

The Best Stay Ever!

The apartment has large rooms, and is spacious. Very private and quiet. A picture window facing a glorious garden. Immaculate and very cosy. A wide range of food was left for us to enjoy. We felt very welcome and secure! We heartily recommend this “home away from home”, and hope to revisit soon!

Our stay at the Perfect Hideaway was awesome. The Martens were excellent hosts with great communication from start to finish. This VRBO has a lot of charm and was equipped with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and the fridge. Beds were comfy with luxurious linens.and the location was quiet and close to town for restauramts and taking in the local artistry. A map of Salt Spring with trails and areas to explore was also provided. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we highly reommend to others.

Our stay at Mossyhill guesthouse

This was a perfect base from which to explore Salt Spring Island. The property is well appointed, with everything you could possibly need, is very comfortable and beautifully located. Bruce and Luba were very easy to deal with. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it. One comment though is that the sofa bed, whilst very comfortable, is a little tight for 2 adults so it might be more accurate to say that it sleeps 5 rather than 6.

Excellent Stay!

We stayed at the suite with another couple. The place was beautifully finished and decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The beds were comfortable. Even though this is a suite in a house, it is very private with your own driveway, patio and entrance. As well, you get a beautiful view of the flower garden from the living room window. The location of the suite is just a few minutes drive from Ganges and very central on Salt Spring Island. We would recommend this place to anyone travelling to Salt Spring Island!
