Sweet Little Getaway in the Woods
This is a special place, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in this unique private getaway. Loved being surrounded in trees, peaceful and beautiful. Really enjoyed using the outdoor shower, it was kind of exciting! The bed was super comfortable and room was decorated in a very artistic manner. Thanks for an awesome stay!

We had the most amazing stay at the Westover! Rejuvenating and relaxing stay, best sleep I’ve had in a long time! Amazing outdoor shower/tub and the most amazing homemade granola from Tara who was the most incredible host! We cannot say enough good things about our stay, we’d go back in a heartbeat!💓

perfect.
stayed at the west over BnB for 2 nights an it was great, close enough to town but you feel so private and remote tucked away with the trees. Martin was so kind and welcoming, offering great suggestions for the activities I wanted to do; breakfast was delicious and the outdoor tub under the full moon was magic.

This property was beautiful and provided an amazing, unique experience with the outdoor bathtub under the stars with privacy and beautiful ferns and cedars all around. It is “rustic” and the outhouse can be a bit chilly for those midnight bathroom breaks, but the sleeping accommodations and breakfast were cozy, comfortable and lovely! Breakfast was yummy and Tara was super-helpful in pointing out the must-see and so things on the island. While you can walk into the village for meals from here, in November it’s dark early so it’s likely best to have a vehicle to drive out for meals (although there is a bbq, plates and utensils available). I would recommend this accommodation and experience whole-heartedly to others as a rustic, unique, peaceful retreat experience!

Peaceful Retreat in the Forest
We spent three days at this incredible little cabin in the forest and would definitely return. Tara was an amazing host and met us as we arrived with a wave and a promise to bring us some goodies once we were settled. As we pulled up it felt like we had opened a storybook and entered a fairytale setting! The cabin was cozy and clean, the outdoor kitchen cute with fresh flowers and the bed was the most comfy we have slept in while on holiday. Tara came down with fruit, homemade granola, bakery muffins coffee and cream. She had a map of the area and made recommendations and answered all our questions. During our stay she checked in with us online and made sure we were relaxing and offered to bring more goodies if we needed. The island, itself, was a beautiful place to explore. Mount Maxwell offered beautiful views from the top and Baders Beach incredible sunsets. We kayaked with seals in Burgoyne Bay and bought soaps and lavender pepper from Sacred Mountain Lavender Farm. Bring your frisbees and play a round of golf at Mouat Park and Disc Golf. Just a heads up, the trails are shared with pedestrians, and it was still a lot of fun! I think our favourite part was coming back and bathing in the forest. A relaxing, refreshing and magical experience to soak in the tub under the stars in a lush green forest. We would highly recommend (although, we’d rather not have to share) this incredible oasis and the genuinely thoughtful and kind host that Tara is ❤️

Cute and Cozy!
Nestled in the forest, this little cabin is a perfect getaway. Unfortunately, Salt Spring Island was experiencing an infestation of tent caterpillars at the time of our visit. Being in the forest, this little cabin was a prime target, making it impossible to enjoy the deck or the bathtub! However, the hikes, scenery and the village of Ganges made up for this as did the coziness of the little cabin. Breakfasts that Tara provided were also a plus.

An oasis on Salt Spring
This was the perfect spot for an extended weekend getaway with our two month old baby. It was incredibly peaceful and private which allowed us to not feel self-conscious when our little one woke up at night - no neighbours nearby to disturb! Tara was a wonderful host and provided a delicious breakfast and was great to communicate with - thank you Tara. I can't believe I haven't mentioned the bathtub yet - bliss! We were there in October so it was definitely chilly outside but the tub was a lovely treat on a cold morning. We will definitely be returning.
