Magical!
Pictures don’t do this place justice! Just up the end of a cul-de-sac, you’re in the middle of the woods. Cute little cabin from the outside, but the inside… WOW, just amazing! Beautifully appointed and designed and feels much larger than it actually is. Lovely outdoor areas to sit and relax… we saw flocks of finches and a family of deer. Owner was extremely helpful, kind and available. The best VRBO we have stayed in, hands down! Wish we didn’t have to leave. Thank you for a truly winderful stay!

Lovely place to stay
This was a beautiful and relaxing place to stay, we felt off in our own little world in the woods. We had everything we needed, plus more, and communication with the owners was great. The nearby market and bakery/cafe were both excellent.

Magical
This authentic European style cottage is exactly how the listing details. Every detail of the cottage was first class. The property surrounding the cottage is forested and extremely quiet. This was a restful way to wind down and get in touch with nature. Oh and the cottage is appointed by original artwork.

Relaxing, comfortable and beautiful
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with you. I had such adventures on the island and returned to a very calm, relaxing and comfortable place away from the crowds. I felt safe and I was able to recharge. The bed was very comfortable. It was great and I thank you very much! Marilyn

Great little weekend getaway!
This little cottage was perfectly isolated from the world, yet close to amenities. The hosts provided great suggestions for local hikes and restaurants. The home was beautifully kept and the kitchen was more than expected for a Vrbo. The countless movie selection and fireplace made the evenings perfect.

Delightful cottage in the woods
The cottage is simply delightful. The owners are artists, and it’s beautifully done. The kitchen was one of the most well-stocked we have ever seen. Really loved our stay! Would definitely book again.

We both absolutely loved this cottage and the owners. Every bit of it, The location, the surroundings, the interior decor, all the amenities were all perfect.

Love this cottage retreat!
We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage in the woods. It was very close to everywhere we wanted to go, and we enjoyed the peaceful location in the woods! Kathleen was very thoughtful and checked on us throughout the trip to make sure we had everything we needed! She even gave us advice prior to our arrival on good whale watching tours in Victoria! Thank you for a lovely vacation.

You can’t beat aces!
From beginning to end this was a remarkable holiday rental. The peaceful woodsy setting and beautiful cottage were enhanced by ease of entry and the host’s caring communication throughout. If one wants town temptations Sidney and Victoria are but a short drive away. Rentals don’t get better than this. Hated to leave but plan to return. A huge thanks to our host from my daughter and me .

Great cottage
If you are looking for a place that is away from all of the other tourists but still close to Victoria and Sidney, this is the perfect spot. Very close to Butchart Gardens and a short drive from the two cities, this was great. My only small suggestion would be to add screens to the windows in order to open them at night to cool the house down and so no mosquitos can get in.
