Cabin in the woods
A nice size cabin. Cozy and very private. A covered deck and entrance. But the cabin had a slight mildew smell as soon as you walked in. Hot tub was preheated, but could have used a quick clean. Bathroom could use some updates and a deeper clean, but the shower had good pressure and the toilet is newer and flushed well. Lots of towels for use. Loved all of the nature on the property...bunnies, deer, woodpecker. The dishwasher wasn't great at cleaning, but a quick clean with dishsoap after worked ok. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, etc... Water tasted great for drinking. TV had no channels, but they had a large DVD collection for viewing. Lots of games and puzzles. All in all, it was a good place for a getaway, but needs a deeper clean, more regularly.

Connect and unwind
We had a marvoulous stay. It is so peaceful with all the ammenities thought of. A wonderful place to unwind after a day exploring the island. Take off your hiking boots, kick back and have a fire in the forrest, then a dip in the hottup surrounded by trees. Loved how private it was. Feels like camping but with luxery. 100 percent reccomend! We will be back!

Peaceful Haven in Nature
Kim and Philip’s cottage is such a quaint little cottage in the woods, just as described. Checkin was super easy and we felt well taken care of. Hot tub was clean and at the perfect temperature every night, and there was a great dvd, CD and games collection too! The holiday decorations were also a really nice touch. Thanks again! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple and peaceful getaway on Saltspring.

Unclean!
The cottage was unclean with mold by the tub, a full picture window in the tub, chips on floor from previous guest, numerous hand written notes of items not working, filthy hot tub, unable to communicate with owner due to their phone not working. Had to get in vehicle to drive down and see them. Decided not to stay there and left the same day we arrived. Pictures of the cottage certainly did not portray the real look of the place. Would not recommend.

So serene
Amazingly relaxing and tranquil and beautiful. We slept for almost 12 hours the first night! Loved the hot tub and everything about the cottage. Kim was very responsive and even mailed the small items we forgot (thanks again!)
