Beautiful lake setting
Beautiful spacious grounds on a gorgeous lake. Uta was a friendly host in good communication to make sure all was working well. Kitchen was functional and pretty well-stocked but needs potholders and sharpened knives. Cottage was cozy but had drawbacks: the open half-loft bed area was challenging at night, especially for a sleeper on the inside wall. No hand rails on the steps down. Closet/study area was small and cramped. A lot of the owners things were in the house. Shower was very small, whole house (esp. bath) needs a deep clean - lots of cobwebs. We loved the setting and Uta was a thoughtful host with lots of flowers and seating arrangements throughout the grounds, but the house has some funky aspects.

Beautiful house
We had a wonderful time staying at Uta’s. The house was lovely and had everything we needed. The check in was so easy. Uta was a great host and gave us some great recommendations. We’ll be coming back next year!

The Lake House
We stayed at Uta’s beautiful Salt Spring vacation home for a week this August, 2023 and were lucky enough to catch some gorgeous weather. We were able to take full advantage of the lake, steps from the back door and spent much of the time in the water, swimming with our dog, kayaking and just sipping wine and soaking up the view. When we weren’t in the water we were enjoying Uta’s fully fenced beautiful garden, or lounging on a couch on one of the decks. The accommodation itself is wonderfully comfortable; artistic, boho and rustic with everything one could need for a long stay. We found Uta to be extremely friendly, and very keen that everything was to our liking. Whilst she was keen to learn of our exploits, Uta kept a respectful distance when we needed space and privacy. Whilst her adorable little dog was the perfect size and temperament for our little Yorkie, being old, he didn’t want to play. He stayed with his mama and was absolutely quiet. The accommodation is in a great location with many attractions within a short drive. We ate out at Salt Spring Wild Cider House a couple of times and enjoyed great food and and beverage - and our dog was welcome on the patio which was great! We visited Salt Spring Island Cheese and enjoyed lunch there, again with our pup. We visited Ruckle Provincial Park which is beautiful and totally worth a day out and picnic. All in all, I would highly recommend the Lake House. I’m sure at one point we’ll be back.

Beautiful Island Cottage with Rustic Charm
My wife and I stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. The cottage is ideally located near the Saltspring Island Cheese works, Fulford Harbour and Ruckle Park. It's a 15 minute drive to the main Village of Ganges where you can see great shops, restaurants, bakeries, etc. We also highly recommend Wild Cidery and the Saturday market. Uta's cottage is perfect for those who instead just want to relax and decompress. There is a full kitchen and several outdoor lounging spots, including the dock on the Lake where you can enjoy your morning coffee, or evening glass of wine. Uta is lovely. She is very warm and welcoming to guests, and happy to chat about the property and make recommendations of what to see on the island. We look forward to returning sometime in the future.

Excellent Getaway!
Beautiful property w/ private dock access to the lake, dog-friendly is so important to us so was so happy to find this gem of a place. We loved swimming, paddle-boarding (brought our own) and canoeing (provided) in the quiet, peaceful lake. Very chill, great indoor/outdoor accommodations. Will love to visit again!

Just perfect
This was easily one of the greatest stays we've had within BC. The location was perfect. The lake saved us from the heat. Uta was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. We look forward to staying at her place again some time.

Corner of Paradise
We were able to completely relax and enjoy the lake, the warm sunny days and quiet starry nights. We caught up on our sleep and then sipped coffee on the dock every morning. It was invigorating.
