We couldn't even say goodbye because we knew we'd cry; that's how much we loved our stay!
This was our favorite Airbnb for the whole trip! I can't say enough good things about the room, the location, and the host. We loved the space (a dark and comfortable room that Wendy said some guests had dubbed "The Womb"), the peaceful and natural quiet around us, all the animals (my boyfriend particularly bonded with a goat called Bluey. He called him "his big pal" and was crazy about him. It was adorable).
We were particularly touched by meeting Wendy's horse - a hauntingly majestic soul called Legacy, and by a story she told us about her dog, Elektra, who passed away from cancer. Wendy has a big, intuitive heart, and the story of how she came about Legacy, as well as her compassion for all living things, reminded us that the world isn't terrible and that good people still exist.
I know I went on FOREVER about the host, and her animals, but it's true: the living that occupy that space are truly the highlight of this airbnb. But, seriously, she has a lovely, comfortable, lovingly-decorated space that's minutes away from every spot worth seeing in Sooke and its surroundings. Highly recommend!
