A Happy Nest up in the trees, unique Salt Spring Cottage close to town

Unfortunately I was very disappointed in my stay here. I read all the reviews before booking. When we arrived the place looked nothing like the pictures…. It was run down, there were cobwebs, broken screens and broken glass in the windows. Paint is cracking and peeling everywhere, and things are clearly really old. It felt dirty, despite the cleaning fee you are charged.. I get that it’s a “cabin in the woods”, but this was nothing like we expected.

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.

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.

Very cozy comfortable spot.

Yes. It was great

A beautiful private cabin!

Loved this cabin, nestled in the trees. Gorgeous deck, cozy bed and decor, lots of natural light. I would definitely stay again.

The cabin was quiet and comfortable and a bit quirky in a fun way. my only suggestion would be to add a microwave.

Very comfortable and quiet with an easy check in and out process.Great spot if you’re looking for a quiet getaway!

What an amazing cabin! Loved every minute. Wild blackberries growing right outside the door, super comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, a bbq and the longest bathtub in the history of the world. Our hosts were excellent and offered many ideas of great places to visit. Can’t wait to come back!

This is a great place to go for a couple days. Kitchen is a little small, but everything is generally as advertised. The hosts were excellent communicators, and responded quickly when needed. Definitely would reccommend to anyone visiting Salt Spring, especially for a short or intermediate amount of time.

Cozy cabin with all the comforts you want. Great place to rest and rejuvenate.

Nice and private. Right next to nature.

Clean, well stocked, and a perfect place to let the city go and just be. We enjoyed our time so much.

Excellent hosts, very responsive, and very good communications.The forest bathroom it lovely.

Nice little cozy place. Perfect to recharge from busy life. I will go back.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Happinest...location to Ganges was excellent and the place was very comfortable. Thank you Bruce and Kathe for a relaxing and pleasant stay on Salt Spring!

Unique, restful, well-designed cabin in the trees. One of our favorite VRBO places! Loved the bright winter light while we were there. Great bed! We felt away from it all, yet Ganges was only 7 minutes away. Also highly recommend host Kathe’s therapy session/acupuncture just down the driveway.

Very relaxing, quiet, cozy, romantic

It's the sweetest cabin, with everything you need for a great stay. Super close to the town! We recommend buying lamb and veggies from the farmers markets to cook up at home!

Super easy to check in, enjoyed our stay. No complaints!

Relaxing, peaceful and a great location.

The “Happi/nest” was the greatest little getaway for my husband & I. We loved the big windows in the living room & bathroom. The bed was very comfortable & the kitchen contained all supplies we needed. Thank you for a great stay?
