Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
We moved to the island to get closer to nature and raise our family. We want to share Salt Spring with others. What drew us here will probably draw you too: the artists, the alternative lifestyle, the peacefulness, the beauty, the healing, the friendliness. Salt Spring has it all and is arguably the nicest place to live in Canada. Salt Spring is a natural fit for us. We are both healers and this is a healing place. Our healing techniques make a lot more sense right up close to nature. Enjoy any one of our specialties; Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy, Rolfing, private yoga or the Alexander Technique.

Up in the Trees

My first reaction was that it was a little funky, but after four days there I did not want to leave! The place has a 1970's hippy vibe to it, but that suits Salt Spring perfectly. From the inside, it feels like you're in a tree house up on a hillside with lots of windows. The bathroom has an enormous tub which looks out on tree branches. It was almost as if I were taking a bath in the trees. Quiet and remote, Happinest is still close to town and to everything you want to see on the island. Our hosts were friendly, helpful, yet never intrusive. We had our dogs with us, and leaving the doors open it was safe for them to wander outside when they needed to.... We'd definitely come back!

Our time flew by at happi/nest! The cabin is fully kitted with everything one needs so all that is left to do is unpack. It’s so easy to fill your time between treatments from Kathe and Bruce’s amazingly healing hands (highly recommended). Whether you spend your time napping in the sunshine, walking in the woods, taking in the view of the forest while soaking in the extra long claw foot tub, it truly is your own calm/nest. Still feeling the awesome benefits of our visit and looking forward to our next!

We spent a weekend in March at the Happinest and it was the most relaxing getaway. The cottage is very cozy, quiet, clean, and well equipped. Also, the treatments offered by the owners are highly recommended!

A Happinest is truly that - on every level. The cabin surpassed our expectations and the amazing windows all around allow the outdoors in, very cosy. We keep coming back because we feel so relaxed here and its so close to town. Kathe's treatments have been powerful...no doubt she is gifted. When we need a break from the city this is the place we've found that is interesting, beautiful, affordable and with a great host family!! We are grateful for your efforts!

The Happinest Cottage is one of the most beautiful places to stay on Salt Spring Island - peaceful, quaint, and the perfect place for a romantic getaway or a little R&R. The hosts were brilliant and even though we were located only minutes from Ganges town centre, our stay at the cottage felt like we were a million miles from home. We'll definitely return to the Happinest!

What a great place to stay during this momentous time. After labouring magnificently our daughter birthed a beautiful baby girl at her Salt Spring home. We're grandparents! In all the wondrous excitement it has been fabulous to come back to the 'happinest' - and sleep like babies in that wonderful bed. Thank you.

Bruce and kathe, I can hardly believe that my week of 'me' time is already over. I can't express how wonderful this time away was for me on my birthday. I am so glad I did this and would recommend both this lovely cottage and a week away for anybody who wants to transition and expand. The wonderful treatments from both of you will no doubt change the way I move (literally- lol!) I really appreciated your energies and sharing and will be back for more treatments from each of you. C and P say 'thank you' too. They enjoyed the freedom to roam and hand out.
