About this house rental

Situated in Salt Spring Island, this charming house for $502 per night is a great choice for your next trip. This is the very best of West Coast Canada! Watch the seaplanes land and sailboats pass by as you relax on your private oceanfront estate. Gorgeous sweeping views of Ganges Harbour are visible from nearly all rooms of this one of a kind heritage retreat. Built in 1906 by the pioneering Tolson family, this property was the first private school on the Gulf Islands and was later a creamery and then the private retreat of a technology billionaire and his family, during which time the property was greatly restored. A vast variety of birds and other wildlife make this 4 acre property home. Watch the swans, eagles, hummingbirds, blue heron, quail and other exotic birds from the enormous picture window and expansive veranda. Raccoons, otters, deer and other critters are curious, safe and plentiful. There is much to do here for all ages. On the property, there is plenty of exploring to do, and the 300 feet of private beach front to enjoy. The main lawn is large enough for a serious soccer game. Pick fruit and berries at several times of the year, then bake them into a pie in the great kitchen that looks into the gorgeous back gardens. Various flowers are usually blooming all over the park-like gardens and landscaped terraces. Numerous exploration paths weave throughout the property. Off the property, hiking, kayaking, sailing, golfing, fine dining, casual dining, patio drinking, swimming, shopping, scuba diving, a day at the spa, fishing, yoga, farmers markets, etc... are all close at hand. The house is set up perfectly for entertaining and relaxing alike. With plenty of space indoors, the adults can enjoy the evening with a roaring fire in the main living room, while the kids use the spacious upper living room or the entertainment room to watch movies on the big screen and play games of all sorts. There are plenty of bedrooms to go around, all beautifully furnished and well appointed. The three full bathrooms mean that no one is waiting for their turn for a shower. The big gourmet kitchen provides the space to cook a grand meal while onlookers enjoy a glass of wine without every getting in the way. I guarantee you will love your stay here as much as we do! This house is operated by the Island Heritage Appreciation Club which allows members to use it to cover the costs. Membership is open to all those who appreciate well-maintained heritage properties.

Old heritage home with amazing outdoor property and view. Within walking distance to Ganges. Kitchen well equipped and dining room worked for a large family. Host was very responsive and accommodating. If travelling to Salt Spring again we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Located in the heart of the very interesting village. Lots to see and do. The house is a lovely old home, but requires two updates in particular . None of the beds were comfortable…a couple were close to okay but most not. Second was the dining room light fixture. Delightful to look at ….if only one could see when trying to play cards and games in the evenings. Overall, my children and grandchildren enjoyed the week.

This property and home is advertised - it is a stunning estate overlooking the harbour, perfectly positioned in the heart of Salt Spring Island. Our family had a wonderful time here creating new memories and taking in the surroundings. If were to pick one issue, it was that the home wasn't as clean as we had hoped. This could be personal preference for our family, others may not have been as concerned!
