About this property

Aerie Sunrise House.close to Ganges. Harbor View

SPECIAL DISCOUNT from 5-7 NIGTHS August 1-7 2023/ August 26-30 2023 AERIE SUNRISE HOUSE is an airy, spacious 1500 sq. ft. private getaway with the comforts of home.
It is a short walk to Ganges village on beautiful Salt Spring, the largest of the Gulf Islands in the Pacific Northwest.
We welcome our guests with a bottle of West Coast wine to enjoy in the cozy sunroom overlooking the bamboo grove and fir trees or outside on the deck with a lovely view of the boats in the harbor and the Pacific Mountains in the distance.
Guests will appreciate the fully equipped kitchen and dining room as well as two bedrooms and
2 baths. Relax in the unique cedar sunroom and enjoy breakfast at the glass topped bamboo table. In the wintertime, the wood stove creates an ambiance that feels like a warm hug upon entering! Similarly the gorgeous 'Heatilator' fireplace in the living room makes for cozy evenings "where peace comes dropping slow" (from one of Yeat's poems).
The dining room features seating for six for family dinners. The cupboards are full of unique casserole dishes created by various Salt Spring potters and there are many other lovely items for your use. There is even a Mix Master if you feel ambitious after picking blackberries and want to make a pie!
Enjoy the new Smart TV and tune into Netflix or listen to your favorite You Tube music videos!
Since we own an antique/collectibles store, you will find furnishings that are mid-century chic and vintage items throughout the house.
Feel free to pound away on the piano. We were the founders of Erie Music in Southwestern Ontario that specialized in vintage instruments, and believe that music is part of the fun!
Or perhaps you will enjoy playing several board games including Chess, Scrabble (special edition set that features a board that rotates for up to 6 players), Pictionary and many more.
The Mid-Century Teak Suite in the second bedroom features a luxurious pillow top mattress and the master bedroom boasts fabulous '60's vintage dressers and bed frame.
All artwork is original and most of the artists are Salt Spring based: Jill Louise Campbell (hallway ), Kay Caitlin (sunroom), Steven Patterson (dining room), Pat Wright (blue bath) and John Jaques from his "Spirit of Saltspring" exhibition (the fireplace). Other well known arts are Ontario watercolourist, Pat Fairhead, (entrance hall) and South African sculptor, Russell Morris (dining room buffet).

The Neighborhood
We live in an established neighborhood and people are quiet and respectful. There are dogs and cats who make their homes with humans but they are all living in fenced yards. We are a short stroll from Bishop's Walk, which affords some of the nicest views of Ganges and the harbor. This is where you will see the Ganges Trail that takes you into the village within 12 minutes. There is another connecting path that meanders through the woods and where you will often see and hear rare double horned Jacob sheep in the fields. When you reach Drake road you can cross and continue through beautiful paths in Mouat's Park (see photo).
In July and August you will have many opportunities to pick luscious blackberries along the way.

Salt Spring Island Getaway
We enjoyed our stay the Aerie Sunset House and our time on Salt Spring Island! The location was perfect, close to Ganges and central to all island locations for hiking, sight-seeing and meals out. Susan is an excellent host, very responsive and provided a wealth of information about the island. Nearby Beddis Beach was wonderful for sunrise and hiking in Ruckle Park along the coast was spectacular.

An Exceptional and Magical Stay
This was my third stay at Aerie Sunrise and I look forward to returning! There are so many wonderful things to mention: the incredible artwork and distinctive furniture, the spacious and sunny living room areas, the patio from which to savor the natural beauty, and the generosity and kindness of the host, Susan. The location is convenient for doing things on the island, but one could just as easily stay in all day at Aerie and have a wonderful time as the atmosphere is calm, cozy, warm, and inspiring and supplied with everything you might need. Aerie Sunrise is a truly special and charming place to relax and feel restored - and to connect to nature and art. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here. :-))

Perfect getaway
What a wonderful property and host. Every single detail was perfect. The house is a short walk down a beautiful trail to the town but far enough away to be quiet and serene to enjoy the wonderful view and avoid the crowds of a busy weekend. The space was perfect for two couples. From the welcome wine to the advance check-in instructions, to the well equipped kitchen, everything was spot on. We will be back.

Fun Island Getaway
Three longtime friends met in Canada for a week of fun and friendship at Salt Spring Island. The house was very clean and comfortable for the three of us. We saw just about everything on the island. Everything was close or an easy drive away. Fun shopping, great restaurants, lots of artist studios to visit. We really had a wonderful time and were very comfortable! Thanks Susan! We’d like to come back some time. Lovely home with beautiful view.

Home away from Home
Removed shoes at door and enjoyed our slippers! Followed by enjoying the comfort and quietness of the home while making new memories with our family. View from Sunroom was full of different shades of green foliage and beautiful views of the mountains and water. Susan was very kind and available to us if we needed her. Thank you for sharing your peaceful environment.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
I enjoy providing quality accommodation to guests.
Although I have been a teacher for many years, my current passion is buying and selling collectibles and antiques with my husband at our store in Victoria, British Columbia which is open 6 days/wk.
Our suite is downstairs and we're quiet and quite private when we're home on Salt Spring.
If you don't want contact with anyone, that's fine with us, although I love to greet you upon your arrival and show you your "home away from home".
You will have lots of restful time.
I am an experienced host and have another property with long term professional tenants who are wonderful people.
Please let me know if there is anything that you need during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Aerie Sunrise House is incredibly spacious, yet cozy with the woodstove in the sunroom and the fireplace in the living room. This custom designed home has been in our family since the 1970's and I remember hiking around the island on the many trails that still exist for all of you to enjoy. I provide a booklet that is now out of print and features all of the best places to give your hiking boots a
good workout :) ! These paths are ranked easy, moderate and difficult.
You will love the peace and quiet, summer and fall fresh air and winter musky smell of wood stoves as the ferry approaches Salt Spring Island.
My guests have an exclusive offer on a 3-4 hr. sailing excursion! You receive a 10% discount off the price, for a magnificent must do experience.
Join Captain Don Mellor aboard the sailboat L'Orenda for a casual sightseeing cruise through the calm waters of BC's Gulf Islands. Don's website is: www.lorenda.ca.
The easygoing locals are always happy to share stories with you. There are many restaurants offering excellent fair trade, organic coffee. My favorite treat is 'Mocha Cafe' served up at 'Salt Spring Roasting Co.' made with organic Comino Chocolate and real whipped cream tightly swirled over the top!!

What makes this property unique

I love the harbour views,the bamboo grove and the sweet family of deer that often wander through the gardens. The forest green carpeting in the living room reflects the outdoors. The sunroom with the vaulted cedar ceiling is a peaceful haven to curl up and read one of the many books I have selected... or maybe just to sit and watch the fire in the woodstove. Guests have many choices of board games and enjoy hours of fun in the warmth of this space!
There is a Roland piano in the corner overlooking the bamboo grove where families gather to sing together and enjoy seasonal music using the songbooks provided.
