Cottage of Tranquility

My fiance and I stayed at the Cottage for two nights and had a wonderful stay despite an unexpected illness. The cottage is very clean, and the floor to ceiling windows in the living room provide a stunning view! The hot tub was wonderful and I really enjoyed listening to the frogs and staring at the stars while letting the tension melt away. On our first night, my fiance was hit with a sudden flu and was very ill from about 1:30am onward. We contacted Phillip and Kim and they were wonderfully understanding - Phillip brought up a scrub brush and cleaning supplies for me so I could clean up later that morning.

Thankfully the remainder of our stay was much less exciting and we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful cottage. The grounds are lovely and I particularly loved our visit from Zoe the goat! She is absolutely darling and so gentle. The welcome basket is a lovely touch and I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful fresh eggs (Fiance was too sick to eat much for the remainder of the weekend - more for me!)

Cannot recommend this place enough - we will definitely be coming back!

This was home away from home.The hot tub was very relaxing.The cottage farm was amazing with nature walks around. Downtown Ganges is a must see with beautiful stores and Restaurants.

We had an amazing weekend at the Cottage of Tranquility on Salt Spring Island !! The owners were incredibly sweet, considerate, and welcoming !! The Cottage itself was simply beautiful overlooking a sprawling countryside with nearby streams . We were able to relax in complete peace all weekend while surrounded by so much natural beauty . We especially enjoyed star gazing in your hot tub and hanging out with the farm animals ! Thank you kindly for making our trip to Salt Spring Island so memorable with your hospitality and kindness :) :)

My husband and I enjoyed our weeklong stay at the Cottage of Tranquility. Set on a hill above the owner's farm, surrounded by tall trees and a view down to the meadow, it truly is a tranquil place. I loved sitting on the porch each morning surrounded by nature with only the clucking of chickens and birdsong to be heard. Such a welcome change for a city dweller.

The cottage is spacious, tastefully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We appreciated the welcome basket of breakfast supplies and also having access to the extensive DVD collection.

Having our own, private hot tub was a real bonus. Whether soaking by night, or late afternoon after exploring the island, the hot tub was such a treat, especially being outdoors with vines and trees surrounding it.

The cottage is just a few minutes drive from the hub of the island activity in Ganges. If walking, one could do it in 30 -45 minutes depending on your pace.

Philip and Kim are friendly hosts and we enjoyed spending some time with them on our only rainy day.

We chose this vacation cottage because we wanted a peaceful self-catering vacation home with outdoor space to enjoy and we certainly were not disappointed. I would give it four and a half star rating.

This was our second time at Tranquility Cottage. We chose this location for a number of reasons: proximity to dining options, peacefulness, privacy, serenity, access to hiking opportunities, and a hot tub to unwind and relax in at day's end. We were not disappointed. Being avid walkers, the 3.5 km trek to town was minor and helped us work off the dinners and wine from the many great dining venues in Ganges. There are many hiking trails on Salt Spring Island, ranging in difficulty from easy to strenuous. Kim and Philip provided maps and literature in the cottage to assist us in our choices for hiking adventures. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and even a welcome basket containing fresh eggs, bread, organic milk, juice, fruit, and preserves was there upon our arrival. There was a plethora of videos, music, games, and reading material available to fill in those few minutes we didn't spend relaxing. Kim and Philip were great hosts and ensured that we enjoyed our stay while affording us our privacy. It was a distinct pleasure to recline in the hot tub under the stars, all the while being serenaded by a chorus of frogs. A stellar opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in this bucolic setting. We highly recommend Tranquility Cottage. Cheers! Marg and Jim, Victoria, B.C.
