About this property

Welcome to The Cottage
Located just 4 minutes South of Ganges, 20 minutes from Fulford Ferry, 10 minutes from Long Harbour Ferry and 15 minutes from Crofton Ferry.
Here you will find an open floor plan, equip with a queen size mattress, fully functioning kitchen with mini fridge, Stove/Oven, Dining table, wood stove, Infrared 2 person Sauna, half bath inside and a gorgeous outdoor shower just out the back door.
Having children ourselves we are happy to provide things such as playpen/crib, stroller, highchair, toys/books etc.
The main house where we live is right beside the cottage. We have children and a very friendly golden retriever. You will most likely see or hear one of us during your stay but we are typically very private.
When you drive down into our property The Cottage is on your right. There is a paved driveway and parking space for one vehicle out front. You will also see our trampoline and garden beds.
At this point we are open to discussion about dogs in the cottage but you may be charged extra or turned away, depending.
NO smoking cigarettes or e-cigs anywhere on our property.
We are a scent sensitive family so all our cleaning products are clean and free of yucky, harmful chemicals.

Beautiful spot

This place is so beautiful. We loved the view of Ganges Harbor, the sweet outdoor shower, and all of the beautiful woodwork inside. Hosts were very attentive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I had an enjoyable stay here. The cottage was clean and in a central location close to the town and good for exploring all parts of the island. The drive up the hill could be a little scary if coming home in the dark. But lucky for us it was summer and daylight til almost 10pm. There are few amenities-no microwave or TV or comfy chair but bed was great. There is a full stove and a mini fridge which was adequate for us. The outdoor shower was fine in the warm summer weather. Overall we were satisfied with accommodation although I did think cleaning fee was rather expensive for a one room cottage.
