The Saturna Lodge is an historic building that began life in the 1920s as a mill manager's home and, over the decades, has been enlarged and renovated into its present form and use. The house is set in a spacious terraced garden overlooking the length of Boot Cove, one of the most protected natural harbours in the Gulf Islands.
The Lodge has three levels. Guests enter into the main floor which includes the reception bar, kitchen and spacious breakfast room and seating area with wood stove and large windows offering panoramic garden and water views. French doors lead out to an extensive deck. There are three guest bedrooms on the upper floor. The lower garden level has another three bedrooms and the cozy and relaxing Guest Lounge that features a gas fireplace and French doors leading out to the garden. The Lounge offers guests the use of our piano and library of books, videos and games. It is also the perfect place to hold a special event, meeting or corporate retreat.
The garden is an ever-changing palette of colour and form. Many types of plants thrive in the coastal climate and the Lodge garden offers a diverse array; from roses to raspberries, butterfly bushes to bamboo groves, fruit trees to the huge wisteria that threatens to envelop the deck. You will enjoy spending quiet time on a garden bench or swing or, alternately, hone your competitive spirit with a rousing game of bocce on the lawns.
Guests will enjoy delicious full breakfasts included in the room rates. Fresh baking and fruit compliment hot entrees and promise to set you up for a day of exploring Saturna.
"Wonderful place! Will recommend it to our friends and we will be back."
