Overall Ratings & Reviews The Cottages on Salt Spring Island

Love the is cottage! Good for families and friends to share

Second staying at these cabins. Both times were in pet friendly units, but without a pet. I have to say that this time the condition of cabin was not that great. Although animals are not allowed on furniture, the couch and seats in the living room were grossly stained. Felt like a poor student furniture rather than a grown up space to sit and hang out. At that price that shouldnt be a thing. You would expect clean furniture. We had a lakeview cabin with no lake view. Although we had a beautiful forest view, there was absolutely no lake view. Entrance was presented with plenty of spider webs. Lastly, mold in the shower. Plus side we got to canoe and bbq by the lake. A good stay, but condition of that unit was not worth it compared to a much nicer unit we got at our last visit. I know they are individually owned and it differs, but cleanliness should be standard and same in any units.

Beautiful property with peaceful balcony overlooking the lake. The cottage exceeded our expectations and we were sorry to leave!

Great property overall!

There was no hot water for showering in the evening, which might be due to a higher number of residents, but this issue should not be happening

The cottage is probably the best travel accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. The room amenities are well-equipped. It’s comfortable and relaxing to stay in the cottage.

Nice cottage for 2 couples

My brothers and I spent the weekend at the Cottages celebrating our birthdays. It was peaceful and the scenery was stunning. The weather was quite warm so we went for a quick swim in the lake. The beds were very comfortable and we all had great sleeps, the tree frogs sang all night. Very close to Ganges and long harbour. We would come again.

This was a beautiful property. Check-in was easy. The unit was clean with good amenities. Beautiful lake front view and access to the dock. Comfortable beds. very polite and helpful communication but would like communication to be consistently quicker (sometimes it took a full day for a request to change check in or check out or ask for items).

Quiet. Beautiful. Comfortable

This was a wonderful get-away. Our cabin was amazing… spacious, clean, well equipped. Very quiet aside from the frogs. lol

At this price point, everything exceeds our expectations.

I could have loved it if it wasnt for a couple things. Check in was a hassle. We did not get an email prior with the door access code. I had to call the day above, and it took a while for them to respond. I sent a private message through hotels, and did not get anything. Texted and called hours prior to check in and no answer. No one was in the office even during office hours. Eventually someone responded, but it took too long. Lastly, we loved the place and the location. The canoing and paddle boarding was definitely a plus, but the place was ant infested. It didnt get too much in the way of our experience, since i had low pest expectations for cabins, but for people who hate bugs, there were atleast 50 surround the bed, and a couple ants on the bed. I pulled down the blinds and 12 dropped to the floor.

Outdated televisions.

Great location. Beautiful 2 bedroom cottage. Spacious, clean and well equipped. Gorgeous lake and stunning views. Did not like the late check in time, waiting around until dinner time to check in isn’t good value to the customer. Lake equipment was nice however there were limited oars so you couldn’t use them all. BBQ could use some cleaning.

Really enjoyed: Location (Saltspring in general) Parking Lake is cute Paddle boards and canoes Board games, cd's and dvd's Would have enjoyed: Dishwasher Closer garbage drop off Nicer bedding Fire pit or campfire More life jackets and paddles

Overall, really loved the cottages, it was quiet, peaceful, and convenient location, just a few minutes from the Grange. Units are very nicely laid out. Only unpleasant thing about my stay was that on 1st night, there was no water pressure in the showers. It was fixed on 2nd night but nevertheless, a bit of inconvenience.

Better than expected. Clean and safe. Wonderful stay.

It was a great place to stay, quiet and beautiful. The place we stayed in, lacked some essential items, like paper towels and their was no remote for the fireplace. Also a bigger coffee maker would of been awesome.

Very nice view, roomy, front of lake.
