About this property

A Cozy Cabin in a Peaceful Orchard Close to the village of Ganges.

Orchard Cabin on Salt Spring Island is the perfect private retreat for artists, writers, poets, or musicians. It is also a great getaway for a romantic honeymoon or anniversary. Or bring the kids and the dog!

Peace and quiet surrounds you. Awaken in your cozy loft bed to the songbirds' serenade. Enjoy your self-prepared breakfast on the deck with freshly brewed coffee or tea. Delight in some of Salt Spring's fine locally crafted cheese or fruit preserves, wholesome baked goods, and farm-fresh eggs that you can purchase at the Tuesday or Saturday Market, a roadside farm stand, or straight from the farm!

Then make your way into Ganges Village to check out ArtCraft or browse the local shops and galleries.  Saturday morning is when Salt Spring hosts the famous Salt Spring Market. Be sure to treat yourself to lunch at one of the many unique restaurants and cafes. Don't forget to try some handmade chocolate treats at Harlan's!

If adventure is on your mind, check out fishing, scuba diving, kayaking, whale watching, biking, or hiking. Take a Studio Tour. Go on a boat tour or dinner cruise. Explore Salt Spring's history or just relax at one of the many beaches, lakes, and parks.

On your way back to the cabin, pick up some fresh seafood at The Fishery or some crab at Centennial Dock. Add to this some fresh produce from the Street Market and a bottle of wine from one of the local vineyards to make a delicious island meal. Then bask in the balmy warmth of a summer evening on the private deck at the cabin.

Have a fabulous vacation!

Everything was great. The cabin is well appointed. If requiring the use of the pull out couch, it is more comfortable with a foamie that the host gladly provided. We couldn't get the wifi to work, but it didn't really affect us too much. Such a lovely place and such friendly, helpful hosts. We would go back in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Steffich

Host profile image
I am a long time islander. I have lived here for most of my life and my family roots go back to the 1930's and 40's. My great-grandparents farmed on the north end of the island, boating their produce around the 'Hook' to Ganges every Saturday during the summer - the original Salt Spring Farmer's Market.
I have 2 fantastic sons, one 27 and one 14, and a friendly Black Lab named Mojo. I am also a pharmacist at the Pharmasave in Ganges.
I have travelled extensively to Australia, Mexico, and the USA, and have spent many vacations exploring BC and Vancouver Island. Having stayed in a wide variety of accommodations I realized that simple and relaxed, private and convenient, comfortable and casual were the most appealing features of my vacation accommodations.
As a dog person, I really appreciate being able to travel with my dog. He is an important part of our family and travelling without him would be like leaving one of the kids at home!

Why they chose this property

In 2010 we decided to share our cabin as a vacation rental so others could come and discover the magic that is Salt Spring Island.
The cabin was just a sleeping cabin when we bought the house in 2002. Our friend, Jeremiah Hart, moved into the cabin soon after and traded rent for renovations. Jeremiah lived in the cabin for 5 years and, with his masterful use of space and natural materials, transformed it into a lovely little self-contained cabin that is comfortable summer and winter. The main feature is the deck situated under a large apple tree where you can relax in the peace and quiet of the backyard orchard.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is a short walk to shopping and restaurants in the village of Ganges. Dog walking and hiking trails are easily accessed just steps from the cabin. Wine tours, boat cruises, fishing expeditions, whale watching, parks, scenic drives, swimming lakes, and beaches are a short drive away.
