Large property with privacy in a beautiful setting. Perfect for a getaway with my 3 univeristy aged kids for reading break. I am always so appreciative for rentals that allow pets. It was so nice to be able to take a dog walk on the property. A good loop around could take about 20 mins so not always having to drive somewhere was really nice. Its an older cabin, nicely updated while still keeping its character and charm. Would love to stay again.

Wonderful view from deck across Salish Sea to Olympic Peninsula mountains. We spotted many whales, with binoculars supplied by host. Hot afternoon sun on deck - bring something for shade as there is no umbrella. There is a large mowed area in front of deck ideal for badminton or volleyball (not supplied). There is a path part way down to shore but you have to drive to get to coast. Location is a good base for exploring beaches north of Sooke, as well as for the going to Potholes provincial park, half an hour south. Good large grocery store in Sooke as well as liquor store, pharmacy etc. The main floor has two bedrooms at the back, the smaller one is next to bathroom, the larger one is nice and bright. Comfortable beds with nice duvets. Downstairs there is a full suite- bedroom, living area with another bed and couch that converts to bed, kitchen and bathroom, so the house is ideal for two families. The house is older but has been partially renovated - nice new kitchen counter top and cupboards, bathroom vanity, but older bathtub shower. The large marble dining table on main floor has a fantastic view and six large comfortable chairs, with more chairs downstairs and three more bar chairs at counter. Bring a tablecloth or placemats, and games! There was a fairly significant plumbing blockage when we arrived- the property manager was very responsive in sending a plumber right away but the issue wasn’t fully resolved as of our departure.

Beautiful rustic lodge with lots of space to spread out for the 5 of us. Had a rainy day so we had a nice log fire inside too. Well appointed kitchen for making our meals. Gorgeous views from the patio.

Loved: houselarge enough for a big family to hang out together or separately, viewincredible, locationawesome. Unfortunately, there were 2 major disruptions. On arrival, the heat didn’t work. We texted right away, but it took until the 2nd AM for a handyman to confirm the radiant system wasn’t functioning & activate backup baseboard system. On the 2nd night we were able to use the fireplace to warm up the main floor, but that didn’t do folks sleeping in the basement much good. Also, Thurs we started having intermittent water pressure issues. Sunday, the pressure was completely gone, sediment was visibly emanating from the taps, plus something in the locked utility closet was making a loud noise after any use of water. We texted before 7am for help, which came in the afternoon. The plumber found a well pump problem, requiring a part unavailable until Tuesday. We were instructed not to drink tap water and provided filtered water; we were told showers were ok, but they weren’t feasible for lack of pressure. We get that systems break and appreciate the efforts to mitigate. But it was really frustrating to deal w/ both issues during a 7-day trip. Other notes: Having followed up re: property access 6 hrs before check-in time, we were told someone would meet us in person, so we hustled to be there at 4 – but then check-in happened by phone. There were stained linens and unswept floors. Finally, listing says 3 BRs upstairs / 1 in the basement, when it’s really 2/2.
