Billie was very welcoming and the space was clean and everything was in good working order with a nice cozy charm. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was set up nicely for cooking a meal. I loved that it was so close to Ganges. I felt very safe as a solo traveler. I will definitely rent here again when I return. Thanks Billie!

We had a great time at The Wilder Woods! It is close to Ganges but far enough away to feel like a retreat from the crowds. The cottage had lots of room for all of us to spread out and was equipped everything we needed. The kids loved being able to swim in the pool, which was super refreshing after a day of exploring. Would recommend this place to anyone and would stay here again!

Poor value for price. It’s a trailer renovated. Internet patchy.
We had a wonderful time in Salt Spring. Lots to do and wish we had more time especially to hike. Ollie’s place was as described. Very easy communication. The space is convenient t to all locations especially the town of Ganges and Long Harbpur. Salt Spring Cidery just across the street. Beds were comfortable as well as pullout. Would stay again.

Lovely little cottage
Small cottage perfect for a couple. We also had our small dog with us. Lots of nice updates and the pool was a very nice benefit. Short drive to Ganges and easy access to most destinations on the island. Billie was very responsive.

Recommendation from the German family
Great location, super friendly family, nice pool (great for the kids). We had a perfect time and enjoyed the days. Walking distance to Ganger. Just the public transport could be improved .
Billie was an awesome host and the property was perfect!

Our stay at Wildwood
Our stay with Billie was awesome. She was warm and welcoming and struck a great balance between checking in to make sure all was well and giving us our space. The property was beautiful a short walk to the cidery and a reasonable walk to downtown. We will be back! Thank you Billie!

Paradise in paradise!
Billie is a lovely, generous, and kind host. We also had the pleasure of meeting her wonderful family.Wilderwood inspires rest and relaxation. Its location in the heart of Saltspring Island makes it ideal for all outings, from food and gourmet shops, restaurants, and bars to hiking and sunbathing. So many things to discover with so little time! Thank you Billie for making us so welcome.

Salt spring sanctuary
Very cute and cozy, and comfortable. Short drive to Ganges, short walk to the cidery. We enjoyed hanging out on the patio with the fire going in the evening listening to the birds and telling stories. Billie is a great host and was available anytime.
Good overal, plenty of space, comfortable bed, clean. It’s a drive to the village.

Very convenient spot, close to Ganges but nice and quiet. Clean and cozy, Billie is an attentive host. Bonus of a Tesla charge port. Perfect for a quiet escape.

Great place for a couple’s getaway
Billie’s guest house was very cute and in a perfect location for us, quite close to Ganges but outside the bustle.
Lovely little kitchen—I always care about the kitchen—with nice contemporary appliances. I appreciated the high quality unscented soaps, shampoo and conditioner. Billie truly went out of her way to be accommodating during our stay. We recommend!
