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.

Lovely rustic cabin, yummy breakfast items and coffee. Be prepared for mosquitoes! Not a 1 bedroom though, a one room only with very little space for preparing food. Comfy bed and great outdoor shower and tub. Overall we enjoyed our stay and Tara was very helpful getting the wifi to work and provided ice whenever needed.

I had a wonderful stay! Tara was such a lovely, accommodating, and helpful host from start to finish. The property was perfect for my needs; tucked away in nature and a short drive to some beautiful hiking trails. The outside bathtub was an absolute treat and the highlight of my evenings. Plus, the delicious breakfast each morning was the perfect way to start the day. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to escape to nature and find some true tranquility!

The cabin is absolutely adorable and super convenient; just a 5-minute trip from the ferry terminal. The host was lovely and really helpful, and the space itself felt warm and cozy, with a space heater & a wood stove. Tara also left out books and colouring supplies, which was such a nice touch. Breakfast (homemade muffins, yogurt, granola, etc.) was delicious. We also loved that our puppy could come along with us!

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!

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.

I would NEVER knowingly stay where I have to use an “outhouse”! No soap in outhouse. Very little cell service on Salt Spring Island; it took an hour to discover that the cabin was located BEHIND the host’s house down an unmarked back lane. There was no microwave just a BBQ. All water was outside. Thick bush meant lots of mosquitoes. Could not get gas fireplace to work. It was however very private and close to town. Windows were clean. Breakfast granola was scrumptious.

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!

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.
