Peaceful retreat in the woods, with a view
Quiet, restful and just the island retreat we needed. The host was excellent and there if we needed anything. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom well equipped with anything me might have needed. The deck had a great view looking east to Galiano Island. The house is 13 minutes from Ganges and we regularly saw deer beside the road close to the house.

Very welcoming host with a lovely inviting B&B with a great view!
Irina made me feel very welcome and comfortable during my stay! It was like sleeping on a cloud, the bed and pillows were so comfy. And such an amazing view from the room and its patio, with gorgeous sunrises and incredible view of the stars. I’d stay again!

Thank you Irina.
Beautiful, quiet location with great views from the balcony. I enjoyed being so close to Mount Maxwell so i could go for a hike inthe mornings. There is a lot of pride in Irina's home and you can see how hard she works to maintain her property. And the friendly little dog was a treat. Thank you for letting us share your home.

A lovely base for touring Saltspring Island
We spent three nights here, and the central location was a good base for our tour of Saltspring’s many studios and natural attractions. The suite was very clean, modern and comfortable with a beautiful view of the Gulf Islands. The gardens are gorgeous. Our breakfasts were delicious and we very much appreciated our host’s flexibility in accommodating our dietary restrictions. Irina is a very kind, friendly and attentive host.
