Reviews for Tiny House in Salt Spring's Beautiful South End

Amazing little cabin with everything you need in it. Hosts are extremely responsive and there whenever you need something! Jocelyn gave us lots of recommendations. You do need a car if you are expecting to visit the island a bit since it’s further from Ganges and in the south end of the island, but for tranquility, darkness at night and birds chirping all day, it’s the right place to be.

April 2025

We've wanted to experience a tiny house for a long time. Thanks for the nice stay.

October 2024

Everything you need for a peaceful getaway. Jocelyn was a great host! She made sure we had everything we needed. Tiny home was great for relaxation and unwinding. It was super quiet. We’re already planning our next stay at the Tiny Home.

October 2024

We felt very much at home and were comfortable. It's a charming tiny home and the hosts thought of everything down to providing a bag for the market to little portable lunch containers for a picnic.

September 2024

Tiny house was compact but very livable for two guests. The kitchen had everything we needed. Jocelyn gave us directions to three nearby beaches plus suggestions for hikes on Salt Spring Island. As one would expect in a tiny house, the bathroom was pretty small but it was doable.

September 2024

Jocelyn’s place was an absolute dream! My best friend and I stayed for a few days and could’ve have asked for a lovelier stay. Jocelyn gave us fantastic recommendations and I would love to return one day!

September 2024

Absolutely beautiful, quiet and peaceful surroundings, hidden beaches. The tiny house is a lot bigger than the pictures, and very comfortable. The host was very friendly and communicative. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

September 2024

We loved our stay at this beautiful tiny home on Salt Springs Island. Every detail in the tiny home had been thought of carefully and it showed. My husband, 6 ft 2, and I, 5 ft 9, felt like we had lots of space to stretch out and found it very comfortable. Jocelyn provided a binder full of things to do in the area that we found very helpful. Overall this was one of our favourite air bnb stays and we hope to be back some day!

September 2024

Staying in this "Tiny Home" on Salt Spring is an absolute must. Tucked on the edge of a beautiful property on the south side of the island. This stay was a much needed escape to nature, while still affording the comfort of home. Jocelyn and Jarvis are wonderful and accommodating hosts who's passion for the space is evident in every inch of the "Tiny Home". I had the pleasure of staying here for my anniversary and it was everything we could have asked for. Whether it was for a short walk to watch the sunrise by the water, or a short drive to town for the Salt Spring market/local cuisine, or even just a night in. My partner and I were never at a loss for something to do or see. Overall, a beautiful way to spend a weekend. We will definetly be back. 😄

September 2024

perfect getaway and the tiny home had everything you would need! Loved our stay :)

August 2024

beautiful, cozy tiny home close to both the water & the woods! Jocelyn was incredibly kind and easy to talk to, made us feel right at home. The tiny home was closer to the road than I had imagined but it still felt very private and tucked away from the main house. Super quiet street which was an absolute delight for our city ears!

August 2024

Jocelyn was sooo wonderful and made us feel right at home. The tiny home was very charming and comfortable for the two of us. She had lots of recommendations from food to beaches and everything in between. She was very responsive and proactive at checking in with us. It’s a beautiful quiet location. It is a bit further away from town, but it was just the perfect spot for us!

August 2024

Wow, what a hidden gem! We loved our stay at Jocelyn's tiny home. The location is quiet and private, and the tiny home is full of beautiful touches. We felt right at home and wish we could have stayed longer. The space is very clean and thoughtfully put together. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook during your stay. And the surroundings are just fantastic! We enjoyed going for morning and evenings swims at the local beaches, and we had a lovely time walking/hiking to the nearby harbor for dinner. Jocelyn had lots of local recommendations and helpful tips from a local that really enhanced our stay. Overall it was the perfect cozy island getaway. We will definitely be back!

August 2024

Staying at Tiny Heaven was very pleasant experience. The place is so cute and super cozy. We had all the kitchen equipments for cooking with local ingredients purchased at supermarkets. The house is at a quiet area and we had a peaceful time while we were staying in Salt Spring Island. When we visit the island l, we will definitely would like to stay at Tiny Heaven again!

August 2024

It is easy to see why Jocelyn is a Super Host: she is interested in your comfort and enjoyment but not intrusive. The home was clean and well-appointed; there are many enjoyable amenities and the hosts seem to have gone out of their way to provide many thoughtful items. It is an incredibly quiet and peaceful location and the outside covered patio extends the space. There are books, a binder with many trip ideas and suggestions and lots of basic supplies. Highly recommend.

August 2024

Our stay at the tiny house was so enjoyable - very well appointed and great location with a VERY helpful host. It was a little slice of heaven ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

August 2024

Jocelyn was an incredibly friendly host! She welcomed us in-person the morning after we arrived and was armed with recommendations for hikes. She also provides an entire binder of things to check out across the island. The tiny home was absolutely adorable. We slept in the loft, which was very cozy, and enough head room to feel comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with every appliance/utensil we needed. We cooked all our meals in there or on the bbq provided outside. The bathroom worked fine for us, but is quite tight. Loved the location… it’s a short drive to Ganges (the island’s main hub), beaches and hikes, but it is also nestled in a very peaceful nook, away from traffic in the southern part of the island. We would definitely stay here again!

August 2024

Many previous reviewers have commented on the cosyness of this well-designed and crafted tiny house; a space that is well equipped and feels bigger than it even looks. Also, the excellence of the host, Jocelyn. My wife and I, who have just stayed there for six nights concur with all these positive reflections. The tranquility of the location and the tiny house on a cul-de-sac, surrounded by trees and bird sounds (roosters too) is truly special. This property is well situated for farms selling fresh eggs, vegetables, fruit, the Island's cheese farm, Ruckle Provincial Park, a little further to Fulford Harbour for local coffee shops, and a little further to the main town Ganges. The wonderful books inside the tiny house - some about this miniaturised lifestyle - were fascinating and sobering: just how wasteful we humans can be in our use of living spaces and over-consumption of 'stuff'. If this sounds fascinating to you, try this tiny house. You will love it! We did!

July 2024

What a magical little place! Jocelyn is kind and responsive. The property is beautiful and the tiny home was incredibly cozy. You have everything you need for a quiet retreat. So glad I stayed on the peaceful southern end of the island. I can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend you stay here!

July 2024

Cute tiny home in a beautiful setting! Jocelyn was incredible and everything was well thought out and easy to use with instructions posted everywhere they were needed!

July 2024

We stayed at Jocelyn’s place for 4 nights in July. It was perfectly sized for 2 adults. The place is actually pretty spacious, we didn’t feel cramped as there’s lots of seating areas and the outdoor deck to relax. The loft bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was small as expected but well laid out. The bathroom and shower is a tight space but we managed fine. It can get quite hot in the summer and we didn’t want to open windows so as not to let the mosquitoes inside, but Jocelyn let us know there were some fans available in the tiny home which helped a lot. The area is peaceful and feels private even though you are on their property. Would definitely recommend!

July 2024

Such a great visit. Jocelyn and her husband were wonderful hosts. Quiet, beaches yo walk to, trails to follow and lovely bird sounds. The tiny house is a beautiful one that has wonderful touches. Kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend

July 2024

We had an awesome time in this cosy, tranquil and cute place and felt right at home. The place had everything we were dreaming of and it was great to use the BBQ on the covered deck. We visited the beach at the end of the road a few times and had it for our selves most of the time. We are looking forward to visit again if ever we need to disconnect from our city life again. Thank you.

June 2024

Cozy, quiet and peaceful stay! We loved the thought of the bikes, enjoyed our ride to Ruckle Park! Would recommend this place to family and friends looking to explore this beautiful island :) The host, Jocelyn, is very welcoming and easy to contact, also recommended us great places and things to do!

June 2024

Jocelyn could not have been a more lovely and communicative host. She made us feel so welcome in her beautiful tiny home. It’s in a gorgeous part of the island that is quiet, but a short drive to many restaurants and attractions elsewhere. There is obvious care taken for every part of your stay, from home amenities to activity recommendations. Thank you for an incredible weekend!

June 2024

Tiny Haven was perfect for my 4 night private retreat. The tiny home is well equipped and beautifully crafted; the area is replete with natural beauty and the artistic and creative touches I was seeking; Jocelyn and Jarvis were friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to help, while never intruding on the privacy and tranquility this property and the island as a whole offers. Everything has been thought of, right down to the carefully curated collection of books in Tiny Haven. I loved my time here.

June 2024

We had a great time staying at Jocelyn and Jarvis’ Tiny Home. The place was really quiet (near the end of a cul-de-sac) and surrounded by nature - the perfect retreat from the city and a great place to relax. Plenty to do from the door, such as hiking, biking, beaches. Jocelyn was super responsive to messages and Jarvis even helped repair a puncture on the bike. Hope to come back!

May 2024

This space was perfect for our little stay on the island, looks exactly like the pictures and feels like a bigger space then it is, nice and quiet, well equipped and a good spot to explore from

May 2024

Jocelyn’s Tiny Haven tiny home was everything we wanted and MORE. This space was so beautifully designed and styled, it was super cozy, peaceful and private. If you are looking for an escape from the city and to be submerged in nature this was beyond perfect. I wish we could have stayed longer! Lots to do around the location and the town isn’t far away. Jocelyn was incredibly kind and accommodating, we couldn’t ask for a better host and weekend away:)

May 2024

A beautiful, tranquil home away from home on Saltspring Island. Jocelyn was a fantastic host, the space was pristine and cozy, with everything we needed for a great and relaxing stay.

April 2024

Prefect stay, will book again

March 2024

Peaceful and beautiful Tiny House!

March 2024

We had a wonderful time at Jocelyn's. Everything was exactly like the listing - maybe even better! It's a really cozy place with lots of light and beautiful views looking out into the trees. The space is perfectly set up, nice living room area with the built in couches, extra blankets to curl up with and a small table that folds out for meals and playing games (handily located in the drawers under the couch). The space is small but every detail is perfect. The deck is a good size for sitting outside and enjoying the quiet. My daughter loved the loft bed and I took the room at the end which can be a den or the couch folds into a double bed. We were so happy that just down the road there were great trails and many beautiful coves to explore.

February 2024

Our stay in the tiny home was completely perfect, Jocelyn was a great host, really helpful and thoughtful when staying in the tiny home during an unusual cold snap. The space is tiny indeed but everything was very functional, cozy and really well cared for. Would definitely stay there again!

January 2024

It was such a lovely place! Very beautiful and cozy little cabin and i had a great time here. Jocelyn was also very helpful and responsive. Love it!

December 2023

We really enjoyed this beautiful tiny haven! Jocelyn was an incredible super host who made sure we had everything we needed. She even provided us with a list of activities to do around salt spring. The tiny haven is a cozy, well designed and incredibly well kept space. The minute you enter, you immediately feel calm and ready to unwind. We were comfortable our entire stay. The perfect place to recharge, read a book and curl up. Thank you again to our amazing hosts❤️

November 2023

Incredibly functional tiny home. Personal touches abound. Coziest little getaway ever!

October 2023

We are always drawn back here for our prolonged visit in Salt Spring. Jocelyn is always quick to respond and very friendly, but also knows how to give us our own quiet space. Very peaceful and quiet road with beaches near by for our morning walks everyday. Enjoy the sounds of birds and other animals as you sit on the amazing deck with your morning coffee. Excellent place cannot recommend this place enough.

September 2023

Exactly as described, a well-designed tiny house that feels surprisingly large because of the high ceilings, with a very functional kitchen. Located right off country rode that has barely any traffic, dead quiet at night. Outstanding hospitality from the hosts.

August 2023

What a good time my girlfriend and I had .... The location and the tiny house experience was fantastic ... Great hosts, responsive and friendly. It was a great summer vacation on Salt Spring Island .... We would go back to the same place if or when we visit the southern gulf islands again ....

July 2023

Jocelyn's place was amazing. I've stayed in many places, and this was one of my favorites to date. There was so much thoughtfulness put into it. We had everything we needed, and it felt very homey. 10/10 recommend!

June 2023

We really enjoyed our time at the Tiny House. It was in a lovely setting and had everything we needed. The Tiny House is exactly as pictured. Everything was very tidy and clean inside and out. The property is very well maintained. Hosts, Jocelyn and Jarvis were very welcoming and were very helpful with suggestions of what to see and do during our stay. We are so happy that we found this gem and recommend it for a quiet, peaceful and cozy stay.

May 2023

Beautiful tiny home with a well equipped kitchen, very relaxing stay!

April 2023

Had a lovely stay at Jocelyn’s. It was exactly as shown and sweeter. Her care and attention to detail was very apparent. For a tiny house 🏡, everything is very well laid out ~ so we had ample space to live, cook, and relax…. indoors and out. Thanks so much Jocelyn for offering such a sweet haven to experience the beautiful island of Salt Spring 🙏💖….

April 2023

I really loved my peaceful and restorative stay at Tiny Haven. The house is exactly as described and has been outfitted in such a way that it makes you feel right at home. The peaceful neighborhood, waking up to bird song, delicious well water, the windows, the wind chimes, the books, the cozy loft, the beach close by and the beautiful cedar trees were all highlights. A retreat to Tiny Haven was a balm for my soul.

March 2023

My adult daughter and I enjoyed everything about Jocelyn's place. It was cozy and warm inside despite the cold temperatures. We took a lovely walk down the road that led to hiking trails, one of which led to the beach. We loved all the finishing touches made to the interior - no space is wasted. My daughter was perfectly comfortable in the loft. I was happy to sleep in the bedroom. I would return by myself. It would be a perfect writing retreat.

January 2023

The Tiny Haven is truly a special place. There are a number of touches that make it feel like a home - from the plethora of books to read to the well stocked kitchen appliances, everything has been really well thought out. Jocelyn and Jarvis were really friendly and helpful throughout our stay, always checking up to ensure we had everything we needed.

December 2022

I can't recommend this place enough. It was idyllic! The space was immaculate and had so many lovely little touches that really made my stay feel special. The location is close to the ferry terminal and walking distance to some stunning little spots. I would absolutely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.

October 2022

Jocelyn was a great host with our long stay at her tiny house. We love tiny houses and want to build one for ourselves one day so we love spending a long time in them. This is our second time here and we enjoy every minute of it. Even though it is a small space it feels huge especially with the added tv room where we spent many nights watching movies and shows with the Netflix she provided. Had great communication the whole time and even brought us a coffee grinder when we forgot our own. Amazing place highly recommend.

September 2022

I cannot recommend this place enough. What a lovely environment and opportunity to check out Saltspring's south end!! The hosts are so lovely and happy to chat about their property and tiny home if any of it interests you. Wonderful suggestions in the binder, and verbally if you ask. If you're curious about tiny homes, this is such a great way to start truly feeling it out. This was our first ever visit to Saltspring and we can't wait to come back.

August 2022

This place really is a tiny haven! Take a trail to town for the ferry, lunch or provisions. Just a short walk to amazing beaches, and within biking distance from farm stands and the Saturday Market. We enjoyed listening to all the birds, sipping our coffee in the banquette, and also having access to streaming! Jocelyn also provided some provisions which really helped us get settled in without having to rush to the store. She was very prompt with her communications and happy to chat whenever we saw her around. We would definitely come back!

July 2022

This was a perfect little getaway at the foot of a lovely family's property. There is so much to do close by. The cabin itself is stocked with everything you could need, is VERY clean and was a lovely stay overall. This island is so good for the soul - enjoy everything it has to offer before you come back to this cozy, warm space. I would come back again and again.

June 2022

This was the most exceptional AirBnB experience I've ever had... from the impeccably clean and well organized tiny house, to the accurate description of the stay, all the way to the homemade bread and jam provided for breakfast. Everything about this was an absolute pleasure (and a privilege) to experience. Thank you again so much Jocelyn for making our stay absolutely perfect!

February 2022

This place was a little slice of heaven. Jocelyn goes above and beyond to make everything absolutely perfect. I could stay have stayed forever! Can’t wait to return.

February 2022

Fantastic small place about 20 minutes outside the heart of town. All the amenities and very clean inside. If you want a quiet relaxing getaway, this is the spot.

February 2022

My partner and I stayed at the lovely Tiny Haven and it went beyond what we could have ever hoped for. Tiny Haven had everything and more. The mornings were peaceful while enjoying the incredible homemade bread, jam, farm fresh eggs, granola and lovely tea. There was ample space and privacy in this toasty warm Haven. The days included exploring the incredible land and sights to see, numerous farm stands, and incredible artist on Salt Spring, as well as shopping. The evenings spent reading from the vast collection of books and playing games that have been thoughtfully offered in Tiny Haven. The magical touch came from the hospitality of Jocelyn who made us feel cared for as if by our own family. She truly welcomed us with a authentic kind spirit which made every moment easy to bask in immense gratitude. We will most definitely go back and highly recommend to folks who are looking to get away to find healing, rest, and rejuvenation to stay here to soak up this slice of heaven as it is once in a lifetime.

February 2022

Don't let the "Tiny" fool you, the house is spacious and you feel like home the moment you step in. Tiny Haven is the coziest Airbnb experience we ever had! We loved staying there, everything was perfect from the cleanliness to the breakfast (homemade jam, homemade sourdough, teas..). This place is perfect if you want to have a relaxing staycation or if you're looking for a place to crash after exploring Salt Spring. Jocelyn and her partner put so much love into every single detail, they have a binder with a list of places to visit and what to do while visiting SSI.

January 2022

This was undoubtedly the best air bnb experience I’ve ever had. The cabin was so incredibly cute and cozy and is the perfect place for a retreat into nature. It feels like it’s in the forest snd is really close to the beach and trails but we barely even left the cabin because we loved just relaxing there so much! The loft bed especially is really special. And Jocelyn was the kindest host who obviously really cares about making sure the guests have s great experience. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, if I could I would give it 6/5 stars. Choose this cabin!!

January 2022

Tiny Haven and host Jocelyn were both sublime. The photos do not do justice to the tiny home - it's even more spacious and charming and comfortable in person. Breakfast items provided by Jocelyn were generous and kept us feeling more than just physically fed; her careful selection of locally sourced items helped us to feel connected to the land on which we were staying, and the community of people there. We were looking for quiet coziness in the woods, and got exactly that. Our trip included some inclement weather, icy roads and a snow storm. We did have some minor challenges related to weather, but Jocelyn was so helpful as a resource and guide to helping us avoid getting stranded and keep to the roads that would be most traversable. She made herself available by text to help us troubleshoot, which definitely made our trip not only memorable but safe and fairly free of mishaps. I am certain that we would have gotten into more trouble if we hadn't had such a helpful and insightful host. We’re so grateful that we got to stay with Jocelyn and experience Tiny Haven for ourselves.

January 2022

This cozy little home is everything that the hosts promise in their description. It’s spotlessly clean, and every detail for guests’ comfort and convenience has been considered. We stayed during one of the most prolonged cold snaps and snowfalls and were cozy and warm throughout. In fact, we opted to stay home most nights to make dinner, watch a show and generally relax after days of exploring this beautiful Island. The hosts make sure you feel welcome, and provide lots of great suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. Communication was thorough and timely and we appreciated the offer to arrive early and leave late if needed. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks so much Jocelyne!

January 2022

The Tiny House was a great place to stay on Salt Spring Island! The space feels much larger than expected and is equipped with everything you need. Jocelyn was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay. The place is private and the drive is beautiful. I would be happy to stay here again!

December 2021

A sweet and tranquil getaway. The smell of cedar walking in the doorway was wonderful. I enjoyed being in the space and felt cozy and calm as I watched the trees from the window. Gratitude 💛

December 2021

If you are looking for a relaxing getaway in a tiny cabin nestled in a quiet neighbourhood, this is the place to go! The place was exceptionally clean and cozy with so many personal touches. We stayed on a rainy weekend and it was the perfect place to relax and recharge with good food (the breakfast supplies were so delish - I would kill for more of the homemade jam), books (they have an amazing selection), and games (scrabble provided). Also, don't be afraid of the composting toilet - no smells escape! We will definitely be going back to enjoy a few more quiet days.

December 2021

Jocelyn's place is cozy yet comfortably sized for multiple adults to have their own space. The description of the space was very accurate and the list of provided amenities was more than adequate for our two night stay. Overall, we loved the home and had a wonderful stay. No complaints at all. Will consider revisiting Jocelyn's place again when I visit again.

November 2021

We absolutely loved our stay at the Tiny House. Jocelyn has done an amazing job of creating a peaceful and private place to stay, with all of the touches of home to make it cozy. The breakfast was delicious and delightful including beautiful eggs from her own happy chickens. We cannot wait to visit again!

November 2021

This tiny home will be above and beyond your expectations. Surprisingly spacious, super cozy and warm. A fantastic selection of books to read in various spaces. Lots of windows and light amongst the trees. Host Jocelyn was awesome.

November 2021

The Tiny House is very comfortable and cozy. It has a warm atmosphere that is well decorated with lots of comfy pillows and blankets. Like other people said, it is a lot more spacious than you would expect. The host is warm, friendly, communicative and very welcoming. The self-serve breakfast included homemade bread and granola, which was delicious. It’s in the perfect location along a quiet street with beach access just up the road. The house is quite private, surrounded by trees and a fence. We had a wonderful time staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone!

November 2021

Our stay in Jocelyn's tiny home was just great! We loved the space. It is an excellently designed tiny home, with beautiful interior and exterior finishes, and wonderful woodsy, cabiny feel. The loft space was great and the living room had room for stretching when the dining table was folded away and comfy bench seat couches for lounging/reading. The kitchen was smallish but fully functional and well kitted out with pots, pans, etc. As other guests have noted, it felt larger inside than you would think, and was overall a very pleasant place to relax in for a rainy few days on Saltspring in October!

October 2021

Magical place for being in this amazing landscape. Jocelyn is the best host I’ve encountered in nearly a decade of air bnb experiences— comfortable, cleverly designed space in the perfect place for hiking, beach walking, cycling, paddling and writing.

October 2021

Tiny house is cozy and relaxing! Jocelyn is a wonderful host! 10/10 would stay there again

October 2021

This was our first time in Salt Spring island it was a beautiful and amazing stay! The cabin is incredible and beautifully made and the perfect place to come and relax with friends. We hiked mount Eriksen which was great and went to a cidery which was close by and had a lovely time at the nearby beach but the best part was just spending time in the cabin! The hosts were super kind and left us breakfast and some lovely snacks. It was such an awesome experience, Thank you so much Keira

October 2021

We've always wanted to try staying in a tiny house, and I have to say it was just as adorable and fun as we thought it would be. It has everything for a comfortable stay. My husband is 6'3 and he did have to dip his head occasionally and the shower was a bit of a squeeze, but he still enjoyed himself. Jocelyn was a highlight, she was such a gracious and generous host, and she was very communicative the entire stay. Hope to come back soon!

October 2021

A very sweet little getaway. I was looking for a place to curl up and relax and this cozy abode was perfect. It was a lovely quiet retreat and home base for my island explorations. A short walk to the water in one direction, and the other to a beautiful nature preserve. I treated myself to some delicious dinners at the Rock Salt Cafe in nearby Fulford Harbor. I enjoyed spending quiet days hunkering in the tiny house followed by trips up island to hike and explore various beaches. Nearby Ruckle Provincial Park is a gem! Jocelyn is a most gracious host. There to make sure you have everything you need, while giving you ample privacy. Delightful!

September 2021

Very nice and cozy little tiny house! They were great hosts, quiet neighborhood with a short walk to a private beach. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

September 2021

What a fantastic place, sparkling clean, beautifully designed, and on the peaceful southern end of the island not far from Ruckle Park. There are additional beautiful trails and beaches just 5 minutes up the road from where you will be staying. We will be back.

September 2021

wondeful and tranquil

September 2021

All the little details were such a pleasure from the nearby path and beaches to the books and friendly creatures. Jocelyn was a warm, kind, communicative host. We hit a hiccup, but all was handled as well as could be expected. Would absolutely stay again.

August 2021

Great hosts and lovely location! Google maps doesn't do too well with it, but it's easy to find on the map. New fav hike right by their place, too!

August 2021

This "tiny home" is much more spacious than you might expect and is very comfortable and well equipped. The location is fantastically peaceful and very close to secluded beaches and beautiful trails, in fact it's steps away from a wonderful 3 km loop along the coast and then back through rain forest and Garry oak woodlands. Ruckle Provincial Park is only a 5 minute drive away. I really couldn't imagine a nicer place to stay!

August 2021

The Tiny Haven was perfect for our annual getaway to SSI. We enjoyed diverse hiking and swimming opportunities across the island and made sure to stock up on fresh produce and local artisan delicacies. Jocelyn and Jarvis were very accommodating, and the Tiny Haven itself is beautifully constructed and outfitted for all of our needs. We are looking forward to visiting again in the near future.

August 2021

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was beautiful and peaceful, which is exactly what we wanted.

August 2021

Tiny haven exceeded our expectations! The space felt open, airy and had everything you could need. We particularly loved the corner bench seating area as a reading nook with the windows open. It is located in a lovely quiet area of SSI with a beautiful trail system and beach near by. Our hosts were very warm, welcoming and communicative. We would love to stay again any time!

August 2021

This is a beautiful tiny house in a perfect Salt Spring location. Hosts Jocelyn and Jarvis were welcoming and super helpful. Great hiking trails nearby. Would definitely stay again.

July 2021

The tiny house was super cute and had everything we needed! The neighbourhood was quiet including a nearby trail and peaceful beach access areas. Would definitely stay here again.

July 2021

Jocelyn was a perfect host! Very attentive to anything we might need and super communicative! We knew exactly what to do when we got there, and the tiny house was perfect! She even left us some food for breakfast - including fresh eggs from her chickens on the property. Such a wonderful host - we had the best time!

July 2021

Thank you Jocelyn and Jarvis! The Tiny House on Salt Spring was a great experience. It’s in a quiet part of the Island, with a no-thru road, close to the ocean, hearing the occasional chicken nearby. There is a trail close to the Tiny House that leads all the way to Fulford Harbour. We were impressed by the uniqueness of the home, which was built by Jarvis himself, and felt spacious inside. We appreciated having farm fresh eggs, homemade granola, and some homemade jam, along with fruit, milk and other items ready for our stay. We had enough light in the Tiny House, it wasn’t dark or gloomy. The washroom had a composting toilet which had directions on how to use it. The shower was powerful and temperature was great! There was a covered outside deck or seating inside to enjoy the many books that were at the tiny house. Thanks for your hospitality and of sharing your knowledge about the island.

July 2021

It’s a tiny house but lacks no comforts at all! Tucked into the woods, every inch is maximized. My nephews thought we were staying in a tiny treasure just their size and we loved every minute we spent there!

July 2021

This place is the best! The hosts are an amazing family, and the place felt really big for all 4 of us even though it is a tiny home. Beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, everything we needed to make meals at home, right by the ocean and surrounded by trees. This place was perfect for a summer get away!

July 2021

The tiny house is just the perfect retreat if one wants to enjoy a few days on Salt Spring Island. It is conveniently located close to the beach and not very far away from most amenities - one could even walk to the nearest shops as the hike through the beautiful “enchanted” forest is very enjoyable. The house is equipped with all comforts and very well designed in its smallest detail. Salt Spring Island is just stunning. Jocelyn and Jarvis were lovely hosts. They provided fresh eggs from their chickens, bread, home made jam, butter, granola, fresh milk and much more. Most of all, they were always happy to help and easy to deal with. We truly enjoyed our stay and I am sure, we will go back one day!

July 2021

The Tiny House is a hidden gem on the Southern part of Salt Spring Island. Access to beautiful trails and nearby beaches. If you are looking for quiet and solitude this is the right place. Trip to Ganges is around 20 min by car. The house is beautiful and in impeccable shape. It feels bigger than the size may suggest. Highly recommended.

July 2021

Jarvis and Jocelyn are thoughtful and warm hosts and made our first getaway in awhile a really memorable one. This Tiny House is well laid out, with all the comforts you can hope for in a home away from home. The summer weather, while we were here, was really comfortable for dining on the deck and sleeping in the loft. Our girls enjoyed their own bedroom with a separate entrance and the living/dining area was perfect for reading (lots of books already on the shelves), lounging, or games (their collection). My family loves exploring and with Jarvis’ suggestion, found some wonderful spots to take in the Garry oaks, arbutus, and breezy coastlines of intertidal zones and shell beaches all through Ruckle Provincial Park. He also recommended the running trails up to Reginald Hill and the views up at the peak were beautiful, overlooking Fulford Bay and both Mt. Tuam and Mt. Maxwell. Nearby Stowel Lake is perfect for an afternoon swim and if you can, try and make it to Salt Spring Island Bread Co. open only on Fridays. This Tiny House is the ideal spot to explore SSI, although you don’t have to go far to get the real experience of the Southern gulf islands. We are grateful for Jocelyn and Jarvis’ generosity of information and for the way they welcomed our family. The fresh fruit, milk and bread, and eggs (direct from their chickens) were more than sufficient for our daily breakfast. Our girls (9&12 yrs) were enamoured with their chickens and bunnies and Jarvis spent a bit of time answering their questions. We highly recommend planning your next SSI vacation with their Tiny House as your base. We know we’d love to return again!

We are a family of four, with two young children and we all enjoyed our stay. The little house had a lot of charm and it was a nice touch to have eggs from the chickens on site for our breakfast. We enjoyed the home made jam as well. What really was a highlight for our oldest daughter was spending time with the cats, feeding grass to the chickens and getting to see the newborn baby bunnies! Location was great as it was close to beaches, trails and Ruckle Park. There was a nice patio set up with a bbq and picnic table. We were able to use our fire pit we brought on the trip to roast marshmallows. The hosts were very friendly and easy to communicate with ahead of the trip by email and in person and by text during our stay. Highly recommend this gem in Salt Spring :)

Great location in south Salt Spring Island- quiet, rural with access to a beautiful beach and walking trail. The Tiny House is, in fact, tiny. But comfortable and very well appointed. Hosted by a very helpful and friendly family. We loved it. And we love SSI.

This tiny home was exceptional and Jocelyn and Jarvis were so attentive to our needs and answering our questions. The location couldn't be any better! Just minutes from the ocean and hiking trails. Loved the personal touches of decorating and having the breakfast supplies available -especially the homemade jam! This place is a gem!!!

This is a lovely cozy place that seemed much larger than 330 square feet. Our family of four enjoyed our time at the beach, walking through the neighbourhood and cooking together. Jocelyn was very helpful in providing information, making sure we were comfortable, and provided delicious fresh food for breakfast. A wonderful stay.
