Kim and Philip’s cottage is such a quaint little cottage in the woods, just as described. Checkin was super easy and we felt well taken care of. Hot tub was clean and at the perfect temperature every night, and there was a great dvd, CD and games collection too! The holiday decorations were also a really nice touch. Thanks again! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple and peaceful getaway on Saltspring.

The cottage was unclean with mold by the tub, a full picture window in the tub, chips on floor from previous guest, numerous hand written notes of items not working, filthy hot tub, unable to communicate with owner due to their phone not working. Had to get in vehicle to drive down and see them. Decided not to stay there and left the same day we arrived. Pictures of the cottage certainly did not portray the real look of the place. Would not recommend.

Amazingly relaxing and tranquil and beautiful. We slept for almost 12 hours the first night! Loved the hot tub and everything about the cottage. Kim was very responsive and even mailed the small items we forgot (thanks again!)

A lovely cottage set in nature, very private and with all you need. There is wifi but no cable tv and that was actually really nice and quiet. Lots of reading! And very relaxing! Kitchen and bathroom had everything you need.
A little perfect spot on a beautiful island!

This was absolutely fabulous little cabin. Well equipped with everything you need for a stay on the island. Beautiful veranda with shelter from the sun or the rain where you can sit and watch the world go by. We would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone heading to the island. Easy to find, very central to north or South Island. This was just a really great getaway for my husband and I!

We had a lovely time.
The hosts - Kim & Philip were communicative and pleasant people who welcome guests to their huge property with chickens and deers etc.
Our timing was spot on to overlap the snow in early March and with our brilliant yellow Beemobile (Smart for two), we wouldn't have been able to get up the hill to heaven. Anyway, Phillip cleared the path for us before we arrived which was the most unexpected. Kim had prepared a basket of goodies to welcome our arrival.
Anyway, we had peaceful and almost a time travel experience in the cottage. The cottage has a touch of the 80s and even earlier feel to it. Maybe due to the style - choice of colours or certain appliances.
I love the clock in the lounge which constantly shows 12:00 and to be honest, being there is like the time has frozen. I believe it was the intention of the host to leave battery out of the clock. lol

We had a nice time at this rustic cottage. The highlights were definitely the quiet location and hot tub. It was a nice cozy stay. Only complaint would be the cleanliness. There was spiderwebs in a few places and a lot of the dishes/cups were dirty.

This is a peaceful, relaxing, quiet cottage. The owners respect your privacy and want you to enjoy the tranquility. The wildlife is abundant and you will want to spend a lot of time sitting on the porch. The model railway was quaint and Kim's artwork is very beautiful. Salt Spring Island is a charming place but parking in Ganges can be challenging.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage of tranquility! The cottage was even nicer than we could tell from the pictures and had everything we needed to feel comfortable! The hot tub was amazing, and the surrounding nature was incredible! It felt very private and couldn’t have been more relaxing. We would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway and we’ll be back again for sure! Visiting Phillip’s model railway was an extra perk - be sure to check it out!
