About this property

100 Year-Old Log Cabin Lovingly Restored - With New Bathroom And Kitchenette

The Gallery Cabin, a 100 year-old log cabin, lovingly refurbished with a new bathroom and kitchenette. Perfect for singles or couples the 240 square foot cabin has a brand new queen size bed, kitchen nook with sink, microwave, kettle, toaster, toaster oven and fridge, and a bathroom with shower and towel warming rack. Breakfast makings are provided: delicious fresh organic wood-fired sour dough bread provided by Francis Bread, home-made granola, jam, milk, juice, eggs, butter, bread, fruit and coffee and teas. A private deck soaks up the afternoon sun with a table, chairs and BBQ.

The Gallery Cabin is on the 2 1/2 acre property of Celia Duthie & Nicholas Hunt - with 1 other rental (Gallery B&B). Garden and forest views.

The cabin is a short walk from the nearby village Ganges, Churchill beach, and across the street from the prestigious Hastings House Hotel. There is a public bus service from the ferry terminals so guests can (if they wish) come to the island without a car and enjoy the island by foot, bus, kayak or rental scooter.

Salt Spring Island has an embarrassment of riches in art and music with many galleries, studios, and music venues. The Saturday Market, with farm produce, cheeses, and crafts, is a perennial favorite.

A good time to come to the island is often the off season, when the almost always temperate weather is fine for golfing, biking, walking, exploring the island or taking one of many excellent art and craft courses offered throughout the year.

Wedding Stay
We stayed here during our wedding on the island. It was the perfect quiant and quiet location away from the ceremony. Nestled among the trees, you’ll have a comfy bed and small kitchentte to enjoy the fresh Francis Bread loaf and plum jam. It's walking distance to Mobys Pub and Ganges which is also positive. Charming all around!

Beautiful cabin - beautiful location!
An ideal old log cabin, updated beautifully, the perfect between rustic and modern needs. Thoughtfully considered in very corner. Lots of nearby trails and a nice walk to village of Ganges. And the clincher was waking up to a fresh loaf of gorgeous *warm* bread in the morning hanging on the doorknob.

About the host

Hosted by Celia Duthie

Host profile image
Your hosts Nicholas Hunt and Celia Duthie have been married for more than 30 years. We have 2 children and a cat. Much of our life was spent in the book business in Vancouver; now as well as the B&B we have a gallery of fine and landscape art. We love to cook, eat, walk, read, garden and play bridge.

Why they chose this property

We love our property because it is surrounded by garden and orchard, fields and forests and the house, cabin and gallery are tasteful and comfortable. Now on the property is Francis Bread - baking delicious fresh organic naturally leavened wood-fired sour dough bread - for our guests.

What makes this property unique

Visitors will enjoy the historical experience of the 100 year-old cabin and appreciate the art and studio furniture in the cabin. They can also enjoy the landscape art and sculpture on the property and the top quality artists in the Duthie Gallery. As hosts we can recommend restaurants, studios and excursions, and provide maps of trails for hikes and rambles.

The cabin is completely private, with a private entrance; guests will feel they're in their own place while staying with us.

There is always a good supply of current books and magazines available in the suite.

Visitors to our Gallery Cabin will also enjoy its close proximity to the shops, galleries and restaurants of Ganges village, and for lavish dining, the Hastings House hotel, directly across the street.
