Beautiful and tranquil

We enjoyed our quiet and restful week in this gorgeous house. The view is amazing. I was lucky enough one early morning to catch the full moon turning the water bright silver all the way to Vancouver Island. Magical! We found everything exactly as advertised. The location is private, the house is spacious, furnishings are comfortable and attractive, the kitchen is well equipped, the host is welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Fantastic bamboo grove

We had a wonderful time on SaltSpring and Bamboo Grove heightened the experience. The setting is perfect with access to trails and the shore nearby. The home itself is very thoughtfully designed and maintained. We look forward to future visits.

Wonderful property and host

Our family (4 adults and 2 young children) enjoyed our visit to Bamboo Grove. Eliot was a gracious and welcoming host, and the house and its surroundings are spectacular. We spent hours in the trails behind the house in the mornings, explored the Island in the afternoon, and returned to the house to watch the beautiful sunset in the evenings. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful, restful, peaceful.

We spent a week here with our family (2 adults, 8 y/o, 5 y/o) and we were so happy that we decided to book it. We were there for a wedding, so were driving to Ganges quite often to meet up with family, but it wasn't too bad, maybe 15 min each way. The four of us had more than enough room to spread out, we were not for want of anything. It's a stunning property, extremely peaceful, could easily spend another week there just resting :) Elliot was very kind and communicative and was happy to assist with any questions we had.

About the host

Hosted by Eliot Kaplan

We moved to Salt Spring in 2005, after living for many years in more urban environments, delighted by the quiet peace of this rural landscape, and the surrounding sea, and built this custom home, and more recently, the guest cottage.

Why they chose this property

Salt Spring Island, as if hidden behind the "veil of Avalon", feels like a long sought sanctuary after an arduous journey! Numerous organic farms, and incredible natural diversity, among nestled valleys and mountain peaks unusual among the islands, along with several accessible lakes, all surrounded by the inland waters of the Salish Sea, make the silence and the ambiance of the island more than engaging! Mountain biking and hiking trails begin right at the back door, and days of kayak adventures can be initiated only minutes from the house.

What makes this property unique

The house is a very meditative space. It sits high up on a hill overlooking the spectacular mountains of Vancouver Island, and is eye level with an active eagles nest in the front yard. Miles of hiking and biking trails begin at the back door, and the ocean is a short stroll. The gourmet kitchen is the house's equal, with quality appliances throughout, stocked with Iron Clad cookware. The propane based BBQ just outside the kitchen door will help facilitate delicious meals from abundant local farms seasonal offerings (or the farmer's markets).
