Relax in the simple comfort of a bright country cottage. Very simple. Very slow. Very Salt Spring. The cottage is self contained and self catering. That means the cottage stands alone, and you ll have the privacy of having your own small house with an equipped kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining area, private entrance and yard.

The proprietors, Amy and Larry Melious, live on the 4 acre property as well. They are working artists with home studios, and enjoy sharing a bit of the gulf islands lifestyle with guests.
