Canopy escape!

So charming, so thoughtfully designed for relaxation and comfort. So rare to get an owner spending so much money on high end pillows and bedding, no Dr C ok windows, vaulted wooden ceiling, outdoor staging - a little cocoon. A very special cottage escape, books, outdoor tub, Adirondack chairs with sun or shade nooks.... wow. I actually did t want to leave and felt no need to shop, it was a me treat. Now a bit far for walking from Ganges but one old growth nature trail helped! Thank you Tara!

3 adults and a hound

We had a lovely time at the Westover B&B. Having a zero waste and delicious breakfast with island products was an added bonus. We were specially impressed at how Tara was patient and understanding about our hound, which is not small and quiet. We were very close to the downtown area and were able to split up and do different things while sharing a car. Thank you Tara!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

The little cabin at Westover was cozy and sweet and I felt soooo relaxed there. The immediate surroundings were lush and green and very peaceful. It was totally private, and the ambience radiated charm and rustic elegance. Tara was so thoughtful and easy to communicate with, and she brought me a delicious breakfast! Oh, and did I mention the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on? I will be back. 💜

About the host

Hosted by Tara Hollingsworth

I have been renting our cabin for eight years, and before that it had been used as a wellness studio and guest house. I enjoy my island life, and have been living on Salt Spring for 15 years. When I am not busy hosting, I can be found walking my dog in the back property which gives me access to the harbor. Our home was built by my husband who works as a full-time teacher.

Why they chose this property

Bullock Creek Road is a collection of 3-acre homes tucked in a wooded pocket on the route from Long Harbor ferry terminal and only a 20 minute walk to Ganges. Our neighbors are friendly and quiet.

What makes this property unique

We will greet you upon arrival, yet understand the value of complete privacy to come and go as you wish. If you need the scoop on the local happenings or just to be pointed in the right direction, I (a longtime islander) am happy to be your number one connection!
