The Shadow Fin Inn was the best place we stayed on our trip to Vancouver Island. The Inn is nestled in the wooded hills about 20-30 minutes from Victoria. Kristen was very responsive in the booking process and accommodating to our flex arrival time. She was warm and welcoming and quick to walk us through the Inn. Kristen did take the time to tell us how to get to some good hiking spots and had some trail guides that were super helpful. We were happily surprised to find organic fair trade whole bean coffee. The Inn was very clean and comfy. We loved hanging out on the deck, it was so quiet and the air was intoxicating. We really appreciated having laundry on site. Also, very nice to have access to Netflix and cable TV so we could sit back, relax, and watch a movie after a long day of walking around Victoria. The beds were comfy and the home was spacious and open. It was a great escape from the hustle of the city, but close enough that we were able to go into Victoria to explore for the day. The Inn was a nice home away from home and we felt very comfortable there. We can't wait to go back!
