About this property

Westover Bed and Breakfasts

Our 3 acre property is only a 20min. walk from Ganges. We nestled this clean and quaint cabin in its own cedar grove, separate from the main house.
Your cabin for two has beautiful natural lighting with pine ceiling, cork floor and a high bed overstuffed with feathers and crisp white linens. Cedar boardwalks to the sweetest no-flush toilet in its own building. Outdoor claw foot tub and wash basin.

Since COVID I have stopped delivering hot breakfast. I do however, leave my organic granola, muffins, fruit, yogurt and local coffee for you to enjoy in the mornings. Based on people's varied diets, I leave what I think should last for a two day stay. If you feel that you'd like more breakfast items to supplement for day two, please let me know.

Our whimsical stay at this little cabin in the woods was just what we needed after a busy summer. Each morning we were greeted by the frogs and the lush scents of the forest. On our second night we were lulled to sleep by the pitter patter of the raindrops. Overall a peaceful getaway.

Wonderful forest retreat

This was exactly what we needed after a week of camping on our road trip - this place is so lovely, from the cabin itself (inside and out), to the big trees surrounding it, the pathway through the forest, the delicious breakfast and coffee, and of course the most relaxing bath/shower outside. Tara was so welcoming and was helpful highlighting spots around the island. Would highly recommend and we hope to visit again soon!

We loved the quiet and simplicity of this little forest retreat. Every day started with a shower on the deck to the sound of birds, and ended with frogs singing at night. The cabin is thoughtfully appointed with so many cozy details. It really felt like coming home at the end of every day.

Magical, whimsical, total perfection. Tara and Martin have done such an amazing job of this oasis. Every detail is so thoughtful, the only issue was on our end by not booking another night or two here. It was so nice to come from three nights camping to a place so cozy. I already miss the outdoor baths and showers and waking up inside the forest. Thanks for such a wonderful stay

Delightful retreat

We loved our little cabin in the woods. It was a great base to explore the island and after a busy day of sight seeing, we couldn’t wait to return for a soothing bath and the relaxing tranquility of such a welcome retreat… a real treat!

This was a perfect getaway hidden in our own little cedar grove. The property was well stocked and it felt incredibly private. It was cozy, quiet, and the perfect spot to unwind for the weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Tara Hollingsworth

Host profile image
I have been renting our cabin for thirteen years and before that it had been used as a wellness studio and guest house. I enjoy my island life and have been living on Salt Spring for 15 years. When I am not busy hosting, I can be found walking my dog in the back property which gives me access to the harbor. Our home was built by my husband who works as a full-time teacher.

Why they chose this property

Bullock Creek Road is a collection of 3-acre homes tucked in a wooded pocket on the route from Long Harbor ferry terminal and only a 20 minute walk to Ganges. Our neighbors are friendly and quiet.

What makes this property unique

We will greet you upon arrival, yet understand the value of complete privacy to come and go as you wish. If you need the scoop on the local happenings or just to be pointed in the right direction, I (a longtime islander) am happy to be your number one connection!
