Contemporary Cottage with Private Forest Backyard. Steps to Sea & Pet-Friendly!

The Steps to the Sea Guest House is a private cottage nestled in the enchanting forest of Salt Spring Island's North End. Forest bathe from home every day in privacy with 1 acre of private forest backyard with 100+ foot trees, and live amongst the deer plus other Canadian wildlife. Work from home in the cottage in the tranquil forest. Just a short path down to a secluded bay with oyster beds where a kayaking journey can begin. Escape the city and find true peace in nature here.

Lovely remote cottage
I loved the solitude of this property and the proximity to the beach. I would definately stay again for a shorter period. The lack of cell service and a strong internet connection was a problem for us. I appreciated the bbq, fire pit and comfort of the beds. I did really miss having a tub though. A hot tub would be a great addition. Pretty far from town but doable if you are there for peace and quiet and not concerned with proximity to amenities or work from home. There are some really nice hikes in the area.
