Amazing stay!!!
We absolutely loved this place. The hosts have thought of everything for a comfortable get-away. The location is perfect as it is close to numerous hiking trails but still only a short distance to Langford or downtown Victoria. We will definitely be back again.

Beautiful and peaceful spot
We loved our stay at the Guest House. The atmosphere is splendid! The weather didn't co-operate for using the deck or firepit but the space inside was perfect for catching up and relaxing and the full kitchen is great for cooking. We would definitely go back to stay again if we were in the area!

College friends get away
Three college friends from the 70s got away to Vancouver island and REALLY enjoyed our stay. The lovely home, built built by the family who were so friendly, was nestled in a beautiful woody area. It had an awesome hot tub, super comfy beds, nice living area to visit and have our appetizers. It was especially wonderful to be away from the hustle and bustle of city-life and enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest. Seeing the fog roll across the mountains in the morning was delightful.

Thanksgiving - home away from home
We made a long weekend getaway for thanksgiving and this property was perfect. It was so amazingly quiet and peaceful. Very close to a little lake to do some light hiking. Close enough to some larger towns to get what you need and then a beautiful drive to peaceful retreat. The grounds are lovely and well kept.

Great spot
Out of town but not too far. Quiet and relaxing. Seemed like being upstairs above the owner and having the hot tub close to their part of the house would be odd but it was fine. Very nice vibe all of the natural wood.

Great spot for a hangout with friends
This was perfect for celebrating my birthday with a few friends. Hosts were friendly, house intructions were short & easy to follow. The property has beautiful suooundings, which we enjoyed from the hot tub, and the interior is a very relaxing space.
