After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.” — Zen Proverb Other things to note We have additional B&Bs and sauna guests on the property so the property itself is shared. The orchard can get muddy in the rainy season, so bring your boots to wear to the sauna or park trails nearby. It's common to see insects, deer, bunnies, mice, and birds on rural/agricultural properties. Practice living in harmony with nature and having reverence for the life all around us. Ferry reservations are highly recommended, especially during the busy Summer months. The Salty Pear borders on our neighbour's small farm - you may hear farm-operation type noises like a small tractor, etc. We welcome guests to bring their furry family members, but please refrain from allowing your dog on the furniture and linens. Please do not leave your dog unattended. Registration Details Provincial registration number: H534348853
