We had an amazing time here! Jody is a great host and we were lucky to meet her friendly family. We ended up spending quite a bit of time talking about all sorts of things while our kids played together. But if you are looking for a more secluded stay I know they would gracefully give you privacy. The house is in the beautiful area, tucked away in the rain forest, close to a lake, trails, parks, the beach, the famous gardens, and other great local places that Jody and her husband told us about. Thanks to Jody's great suggestions we didn't do any of the touristy things we planned on doing, and explored the beautiful Saanich peninsula instead. And we are so glad we did!
The unit itself is cozy, bright and warm (there's a separate thermostat). It is also spotlessly clean(!) and has a lot of storage. The bed was very comfortable, and our sleep was very restful there. Jody made a sleeping arrangement for our daughter that she is still thrilled about, and the three of us were very happy and comfortable there!
I highly recommend Jody's place. You would be lucky to stay here, meet her friendly family and explore the beautiful Saanich peninsula. We would definitely come again!
