Even better than expected!
Seido-en is just marvelous! The setting, the location (very close to Rucker Provincial Park), the ambiance - it all comes together wonderfully.
Host Wendy Webb has done a superlative job creating this unique retreat.
In fact, I’d give it 10 stars ⭐️ if I could!

Unique accommodations nestled in the forest
We had a delightful stay at Seido-En. It was our first time on Salt Spring Island and we were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful Ruckle Park is and how incredibly close it was to the house. We even saw deer in the forest surrounding the house! It was such an immersive experience in nature. We had a very nice stay. Thank you.

Third Time on Salt Spring Island
Wendy was a gracious host who went out of her way to make sure my husband and I felt relaxed throughout our stay.

Incredible Private Getaway
We really enjoyed this quiet, private getaway. The Seido-en is secluded, surrounded by forest. We loved watching the deer daily roaming the property. There are beautiful waterfront hiking trails nearby and a hot tub or bathtub to relax in after. Wendy went above and beyond to make us comfortable! She is an incredible host. Thank you for a relaxing and refreshing vacation!

The Forest House
We recently stayed at the forest house on Salt Spring and loved it, it is a beautiful property, and with attention to detail there was always something new to discover. We needed a break from life for a few days and the forest house was a perfect place to relax and breath in the fresh air.
Thank you to Wendy and the fairies for making our stay so wonderful.
We will definitely return

Magical and restorative experience
Seido-En is a magical and contemplative sanctuary that deeply supported our desire to disentangle ourselves from the claims of our familiar urban life. It was restorative and we found Wendy to be incredibly helpful and responsive to any of our efforts to communicate a need. The location afforded a lot of privacy with convenient access to the Salish Sea via a short 15 minute hike which we enjoyed on almost a daily basis. The place itself has a very maternal calming quality that we found deeply comforting and serene. The kitchen is well equipped so we were able to be entirely self-sufficient and never needed to leave to eat out. We highly recommend anyone to consider staying at Seido-En.

Unmatched Peace, Tranquility, and Attention to Detail!
Seido-en is a slice of paradise in one of our favorite areas on earth, and to say we were impressed is an understatement. Our host, Wendy, was very responsive and left no question unanswered. The property is serene and every detail is accounted for. The location is excellent, near several hiking trails and provincial parks. We felt immediately at home and incredibly connected with the natural world around us. This was an experience we will never forget. If you stay with Wendy, find and read through her binders near the water fountain. This home, as well as the host, has a fascinating story worth reading.
We have nothing negative to say, this was a time we will remember for the rest of our lives. Wendy, our hats off to you for such a thoughtful and restorative experience!

Seido-en House is a sacred place that awakens your senses and renews spirit in relationships.
This special house has the magic ability to immerse yourself in green. Kind of unnerving; trusting the forest, certainly exciting discovering its healing freedom and the sounds of silence & natures noise are true gifts. A perfect place to unwind and get inspired. The floors of Seido-en are amazing - they keep you grounded in such a light space. The Japanese design inside and out are done so well you will begin to rethink how you live. No TV, no push button coffee, small garbage cans and no dishwasher take adjusting but then add to the new way of thinking. Bed is a a hidden gem but you have to work for it with a little adventure. So exciting but be prepared for the climb. Allow yourself to unburden at Seido-en House and it will call you back time and time again. You will be lucky to stay here.

Truly Magical
What a special and magical place! Staying at Seido-en is unlike any other place I've been. In fact, it's more than a place to stay, it's an experience.
Tasteful music was playing upon our arrival, mood lighting was set, and the water feature in the living room immediately set a tranquil mood. The secluded forest is right outside the door along with a private hot tub that makes it all so relaxing.
All of the thoughtful little touches provided by our host, Wendy made it even more special and every last detail has been expertly appointed so that you can relax and let all your cares and worries go.
I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a enchanted place to stay.

A Japanese Shrine
It felt like living in a Japanese shrine, both meticulously built and executed in a perfectionist manner. Good starting off point for exploring the island, with food, drinks, ferry, hikes, beaches all nearby. Outdoor shower and hot tub complement the beautiful old growth trees. A lovely time.

Acerca del anfitrión
Anfitrión: Wendy M. Webb
Wendy is a west coast girl through and through. Born in Vancouver she has mainly lived and worked on the coast but has also spent years travelling and working in other countries. She is an adventurer whether it is hiking across the Grand Canyon or trying a new recipe.
Por qué eligió esta propiedad
After deciding to leave work in 1996 Wendy sold her property on Decoury Island and house in Victoria BC and started the search for something that would fill more needs. In the 80's having discovered Salt Spring Island she returned to explore and see what could be found. It took driving every road on the Island to find this dead end, quiet, forested property that flowed with energy. This land even though logged badly was beautiful with the light flowing and filtering down from the southwest through the remaining cedar and fir. Yes, It was the flow and the light. Innocently she purchased it and the rest is history. Salt Spring offers everything one could want-beauty, quiet, culture and an amazing eclectic mix of people with a strong sense of community. The Island is rich in animal life and creative endeavor all related to the natural world. An Island away from the city but just big enough.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
Salt Spring Island is a wonderful benefit in itself. There is a festival for everyone. The second largest gay pride parade in BC. It has become a well known destination. The famous farmers market located near the waterfront in Ganges Harbour is open April to October and draws many, featuring make-it, bake-it or grow-it. Local minstrels entertain the crowds. Amazing numbers of roadside farm stands and artists studios abound. Salt Spring has three wineries, a boutique brewery and cider house. International and national entertainment offered at various venues throughout the year.
