Cabin was well equipped, with a funky Saltspring feel. The windows on all sides truly gave the feeling of being immersed in the forest. Lots of light even on the rainy days that we visited. We didn't meet hosts, but everything that we needed was there and check-in was simple.

A great little spot

This is a great place to go for a couple days. Kitchen is a little small, but everything is generally as advertised. The hosts were excellent communicators, and responded quickly when needed. Definitely would reccommend to anyone visiting Salt Spring, especially for a short or intermediate amount of time.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Unfortunately I was very disappointed in my stay here. I read all the reviews before booking. When we arrived the place looked nothing like the pictures…. It was run down, there were cobwebs, broken screens and broken glass in the windows. Paint is cracking and peeling everywhere, and things are clearly really old. It felt dirty, despite the cleaning fee you are charged.. I get that it’s a “cabin in the woods”, but this was nothing like we expected.
