Idyllic summer cottage

We had the most amazing stay at Chantelle's cottage! It was a true home away from home. Chantelle's hospitality was unparalleled – she was incredibly thoughtful and considerate, making sure every detail was perfect for our comfort. The cottage itself was charming, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The property's serene surroundings added to the experience, making it a relaxing lakeside getaway. I can't thank Chantelle enough for her warm hospitality. This VRBO rental exceeded all expectations and we can't wait to return for another memorable stay!

A complete gem!

We have stayed at this property two years in a row now. Simply one of the best properties out there. The cottage you have yourself and is perfect for a couple. The interior is very new and incredibly tasteful. The property is on St. Mary's lake. There is access to the dock which we did use. It is literally step off the dock into 15 feet of water. What a great location for the dock and setup to enjoy the lake. I managed to catch some very decent small mouth bass and perch. A real bonus!! We cannot wait until our next visit. This is a complete gem of a place.

Cozy and peaceful

This was our second stay here and we really enjoyed it again. It is the ideal fit for us as we spend most days out exploring the island then come back, make dinner and settle in for a relaxing evening. Chantelle was very quick to respond to my questions and resolve small issues.

Beautiful place!

Had difficulty getting in front door - I think the coder may need a new battery. Heavenly lake to swim in. There wasn't a reading light by the bed so I took the one from upstairs down. Don't recommend the expense of it for one person. Alas my friend had to cancel at last minute. Thank you!

A beautiful cottage

We stayed one night at the cottage on our wedding night before returning to Victoria. It was the perfect space. The cottage is beautifully decorated and Chantelle is a wonderful host. We were welcomed on our arrival and surprised with a basket of treats and a bottle of champagne. It was a fantastic place to end our perfect day.

Lovely cottage with great location

Quince cottage had all the comforts of home with the charm of a lakeside getaway. It had all the amenities we needed and the in-suite washer and dryer was a nice plus. The bed and couch were very comfortable, the place was extremely clean, and Chantelle was a wonderfully gracious host so we couldn’t ask for more and we hope to stay again!

Cozy cottage in a beautiful spot

My 12 year old daughter and I stayed for three nights while visiting family. The cottage is tastefully decorated and well-equipped with everything you would possibly need for a comfortable stay - kitchen with high end appliances, large bathroom with laundry, comfy bed and nice patio area with BBQ for outdoor eating. It’s a short walk down to the lake for swimming from the dock on the property. Set back from the main house for privacy, the cottage has a lovely view over the large property towards the lake. We look forward to staying again!

Perfect spot and beautiful grounds

Only 5 minutes from Ganges, Quince Cottage was the perfect spot for our first trip to Salt Spring Island. The cottage is bright, comfortable and nicely decorated. Chantelle was a helpful and friendly host who gave us ideas for activities and places to eat. From our front door we could see stunning sunsets mirrored in the nearby St. Mary Lake. We felt like it was our own corner of paradise! We would stay there again.
