Our two families had a fantastic time on Saltspring Island. The location of the farmhouse was very convenient to everything on the island (especially St. Marys Lake, Ganges, and Long Harbour). However, everything is convenient to get to on this island! The farmhouse was clean and well maintained, and the decor, furniture, and appliances were surprisingly modern.
The location, and activities available on the property brought our families closer together. The kids spent quite a bit of time on the trampoline, and we all had a blast playing badminton and table tennis. Watched the meteor shower lying on the trampoline, so clear that I could see the outline of the milky way, and I could even get a hint of the andromeda galaxy with the host's binoculars. The kids played the grand piano, the epiphone guitar and the uke. We had nice dinners in the kitchen and at the upstairs dining table, talking for hours in the evening. Used Netflix and Apple TV to watch movies late into the night. Took walks with the dogs and picked a lot of blackberries along the way. Hope to be back very soon.
Just a side note: There is only one shower. But, what a nice shower!
