About this cabin rental
This bright, quiet cottage is situated on 6 wooded acres only minutes from Ganges, Salt Spring Island, BC. It is the perfect romantic get away for people who need a break from the fast pace of the city. It's only minutes from the famous Ganges Saturday market. A quick ride up to Mount Maxwell brings you to the best views on the Southern Gulf Islands. Like yoga? Well, we are a quick walk down a country road to the Salt Spring Island Yoga Centre.
The owners are a certified Acupuncturist and a Massage Therapist that also does Rolfing. Come down to our studio just down the driveway!
Paradise doesn't get much better than this.

Amenities at A Happy Nest up in the trees, unique Salt Spring Cottage close to town
Happy nest was a small cozy cabin, we enjoyed that it was secluded and our own little space. Close enough to town you could walk, but a taxi (or rental) is useful to get back up as its a bit of a hike but well worth it. The host had checked in on us to see if we needed anything which we appreciated. Definitely recommend if youre looking for a more cozy type hideaway to relax and enjoy a view and not extra fancy. One recommendation is just more blankets and pillow options available for sleeping.

The nest is a cozy delight. Just a couple of minutes to the center of Ganges and its beautiful harbour . We were lucky enough to have sunny days and the cabin caught the mid and late afternoon sun. Great spot to relax in.
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
Cabin was well equipped, with a funky Saltspring feel. The windows on all sides truly gave the feeling of being immersed in the forest. Lots of light even on the rainy days that we visited. We didn't meet hosts, but everything that we needed was there and check-in was simple.

Cons
This cabin is in need of maintenance.

If a window did have a screen, it was ripped and non-functional (this has also been mentioned in a review from September 2022)
BBQ hose leaks if moved slightly
Internet router is prehistoric
Lacking some basic cooking items like aluminum foil
Needs a thorough cleaning in the nooks and crannies
Coffeemaker options is a percolator or slow drip only (and the filter has holes in it)
