About this property

100 Year-Old Log Cabin Lovingly Restored - With New Bathroom And Kitchenette

The Gallery Cabin, a 100 year-old log cabin, lovingly refurbished with a new bathroom and kitchenette. Perfect for singles or couples the 240 square foot cabin has a brand new queen size bed, kitchen nook with sink, microwave, kettle, toaster, toaster oven and fridge, and a bathroom with shower and towel warming rack. Breakfast makings are provided: delicious fresh organic wood-fired sour dough bread provided by Francis Bread, home-made granola, jam, milk, juice, eggs, butter, bread, fruit and coffee and teas. A private deck soaks up the afternoon sun with a table, chairs and BBQ.

The Gallery Cabin is on the 2 1/2 acre property of Celia Duthie & Nicholas Hunt - with 1 other rental (Gallery B&B). Garden and forest views.

The cabin is a short walk from the nearby village Ganges, Churchill beach, and across the street from the prestigious Hastings House Hotel. There is a public bus service from the ferry terminals so guests can (if they wish) come to the island without a car and enjoy the island by foot, bus, kayak or rental scooter.

Salt Spring Island has an embarrassment of riches in art and music with many galleries, studios, and music venues. The Saturday Market, with farm produce, cheeses, and crafts, is a perennial favorite.

A good time to come to the island is often the off season, when the almost always temperate weather is fine for golfing, biking, walking, exploring the island or taking one of many excellent art and craft courses offered throughout the year.

Ganges - 100 Year-Old Log Cabin

The cabin was the perfect little place for us and our pup to stay while we explored what Salt Spring Island and Ganges had to offer. Just a short walk away from various eateries and the stores yet located far enough away from the roads so that we could leave the screened windows open during the evening / night to listen to nature all around. If you're wanting quaint and cozy, then look no further. David & Sonja & Daisy

Great place for a couple

We've stayed here before and we'll be coming back! A lovely little cabin that's just right (in our opinion) for a couple. An easy walk in to Ganges with all its' restaurants and shops, but it feels secluded and private. The hosts provide simple breakfast fixings. It is just enough for two, but no more. A wonderful base to enjoy Salt Spring Island.

Wedding Stay

We stayed here during our wedding on the island. It was the perfect quiant and quiet location away from the ceremony. Nestled among the trees, you’ll have a comfy bed and small kitchentte to enjoy the fresh Francis Bread loaf and plum jam. It's walking distance to Mobys Pub and Ganges which is also positive. Charming all around!

Beautiful cabin - beautiful location!

An ideal old log cabin, updated beautifully, the perfect between rustic and modern needs. Thoughtfully considered in very corner. Lots of nearby trails and a nice walk to village of Ganges. And the clincher was waking up to a fresh loaf of gorgeous *warm* bread in the morning hanging on the doorknob.

Me and my dog

I had a quiet stay on the property. The sweet peas in the kitchen window were a nice touch. There were some basic items available to eat in the fridge, a microwave, toaster oven - that kind of thing. Everything was clean and in order. I was with my dog, and liked that there were a few trails and places where we could take short walkabouts (on leash of course) around the property.

Nice spot

Cute little cabin. Very basic but pleasant stay. Blackout curtains would help as it was very bright early in the morning. Note that the bakery mentioned in some of the other reviews is no longer next door.

Perfectly small

Great location a short walk to Ganges, 15-20 minutes, this is good for couples who are used to sharing cozy spaces. The cabin is quite comfortable but the kitchen is essentially one at a time. The hosts are next door and very helpful. We love it; this was our second stay and we plan to return.

Cabin with character

Enticed by 100 year old cabin, it delivered, along with modern conveniences. There is a cute trail halfway down the street and lovely surprise at the end of the street with ocean access. Easy short walk to town centre.

Beautiful and cozy stay

The cottage was incredibly cute and cozy, just right for 2 adults and a pet. It has all the basic amenities, and the wonderful hosts provided all the fixings for an amazing breakfast! They addressed an issue we had promptly, and the early (2pm) check-in was a bonus. It was centrally located and walkable to restaurants, yet isolated enough to see the beautiful night sky. Thank you for an incredible stay at a great home.

About the host

Hosted by Celia Duthie

Your hosts Nicholas Hunt and Celia Duthie have been married for more than 30 years. We have 2 children and a cat. Much of our life was spent in the book business in Vancouver; now as well as the B&B we have a gallery of fine and landscape art. We love to cook, eat, walk, read, garden and play bridge.

Why they chose this property

We love our property because it is surrounded by garden and orchard, fields and forests and the house, cabin and gallery are tasteful and comfortable. Now on the property is Francis Bread - baking delicious fresh organic naturally leavened wood-fired sour dough bread - for our guests.

What makes this property unique

Visitors will enjoy the historical experience of the 100 year-old cabin and appreciate the art and studio furniture in the cabin. They can also enjoy the landscape art and sculpture on the property and the top quality artists in the Duthie Gallery. As hosts we can recommend restaurants, studios and excursions, and provide maps of trails for hikes and rambles.

The cabin is completely private, with a private entrance; guests will feel they're in their own place while staying with us.

There is always a good supply of current books and magazines available in the suite.

Visitors to our Gallery Cabin will also enjoy its close proximity to the shops, galleries and restaurants of Ganges village, and for lavish dining, the Hastings House hotel, directly across the street.
