Perfect spot to explore!

We loved the location as it was only 20 minutes to Victoria and 20 minutes to Butchart Gardens. The house was tremendouse and the deer visiting the very morning and evening. I am going to miss my buck so much!! Also, it isn’t in the book, but Costco was just down the street and it is huge!! Thank you so much for this great experience for my senior ladies! They had a beautiful time!

Great Stay

Overall we loved our stay. Some aspects of the house looked a bit rough around the edges for the type of listing (lights burnt out, minor drywall damage). Didn’t overall impact our stay. Loved the hot tub, especially with the northern lights!!

Best VRBO ever!!!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful VRBO.. It. was nestled up in the woods, where it was very quiet, and close enough to the stores and restaurants that we needed.. It was equipped with everything in the kitchen upstairs that we needed.. It had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everybody, a nice washer and dryer...... Thank you so very much .

Everything was top notch!

From the booking to the check-in process to the actual venue was fantastic. The house is large and comfortable with lots of space in a great area. Close to nature and walks. Even in the pouring rain of our weekend the house was warm and inviting with lots of windows and wonderful spaces, bedrooms, hot tub, appliances, etc. I highly recommend it!

Great location, lots of space

"It was a fantastic stay, with everything conveniently within a 15-minute reach. All ten of us enjoyed a comfortable stay with each person having their own bed. The hot tub was a great addition, although it could have been a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, this minor issue won't impact my overall rating. I would definitely choose to stay here again and highly recommend it. Thanks!"
