Mossy Hill Guesthouse

For your peace of mind, we have improved our infection control strategy thorough disinfecting of the suite with natural alcohol based products. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products to avoid any sensitivities you might have.
Relax in a beautifully finished two-bedroom suite including laundry and a four piece bath with heated tile floors to give you a truly home away from home experience.
This 1000 square foot suite has been recently renovated with an emphasis on clean, simple lines while not sacrificing the character which is achieved through special touches like hundred-year-old reclaimed fir doors, prominent fir trim, and natural light solar tubes.
There is a BBQ on the patio, if you enjoy cooking outside.
Between the extra sound insulation and comfortable king and queen sized beds you can be assured that you wake up refreshed. A full queen sized sofa bed is also available for groups of more than four people.
The private entrance opens onto reclaimed brick patio area for a morning coffee, an 'al fresco' barbecue or evening nightcap.

Peaceful and clean; helpful hosts

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was very peaceful, clean, beautiful and we enjoyed the fully equipped home including a: full kitchen, breakfast provided, and a soaker tub too! Luba was a fantastic host checking in with us to make sure that we had what we needed and were comfortable. It was a very short drive to Ganges and easy access to the main road.

The Best Stay Ever!

The apartment has large rooms, and is spacious. Very private and quiet. A picture window facing a glorious garden. Immaculate and very cosy. A wide range of food was left for us to enjoy. We felt very welcome and secure! We heartily recommend this “home away from home”, and hope to revisit soon!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Very convenient location and excellent communication from our hosts who were so helpful and flexible about letting us check in earlier with our 5 month old granddaughter. The accomodation is lovely inside and the fruit bowl and breakfast things were a big bonus. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay on the island and be close toGanges.

Perfect Accommodation

The suite was spacious, clean and bright. We were very impressed with how thoughtfully appointed it was, we had everything we needed. Luba and Bruce were great communicators yet gave us lots of privacy. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and our hummingbird visitors, as well as seeing bald eagle and scenic views when we strolled up the road. We would definitely stay again.

Our stay at the Perfect Hideaway was awesome. The Martens were excellent hosts with great communication from start to finish. This VRBO has a lot of charm and was equipped with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and the fridge. Beds were comfy with luxurious linens.and the location was quiet and close to town for restauramts and taking in the local artistry. A map of Salt Spring with trails and areas to explore was also provided. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we highly reommend to others.

Our stay at Mossyhill guesthouse

This was a perfect base from which to explore Salt Spring Island. The property is well appointed, with everything you could possibly need, is very comfortable and beautifully located. Bruce and Luba were very easy to deal with. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it. One comment though is that the sofa bed, whilst very comfortable, is a little tight for 2 adults so it might be more accurate to say that it sleeps 5 rather than 6.

Excellent Stay!

We stayed at the suite with another couple. The place was beautifully finished and decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The beds were comfortable. Even though this is a suite in a house, it is very private with your own driveway, patio and entrance. As well, you get a beautiful view of the flower garden from the living room window. The location of the suite is just a few minutes drive from Ganges and very central on Salt Spring Island. We would recommend this place to anyone travelling to Salt Spring Island!

Mossy Hill

It's hard to know where to start, I'll start by saying that I would recommend Mossy Hill to anyone that needs accommodations on Salt Spring Island! We felt we had the privacy we needed and the amenities were excellent. The beds and pillows(which are very important)were excellent, the view from the picture window in the living room was amazing. We used the BBQ and as we were there for a family wedding we had guests in from time to time and there was plenty of room to entertain. Although we started out concerned that there was no air conditioning we found that we didn't need it even though the temperature outside was 30 degrees. Overall we were super happy with everything to do with Mossy Hill!!

Excellent stay at Mossy Hill B&B

Luba‘s place is an exceptional bed-and-breakfast. It is spotless and a lovely decorated accommodation. The artwork around the unit is amazing. And the garden that you look at through the living room window is gorgeous. The kitchen is well stocked to make any meals that you need. The area is lovely and quiet and convenient to Ganges.
