Mike and Jason made us feel very welcome! They are good communicators, too, so that you can ask them questions and expect answers in a short time. We so appreciate that they were able to allow us access a bit early. Location is so convenient, right in Victoria and just a few minutes into the downtown core. Mike and his house manual both provided lots of good info about what was available. Cabin feels private, views are more wooded than open water views. The little patio area out the downstairs doorway near the stream would be so delightful to sit in during warmer weather! You park in the designated spot at the top of the driveway, then walk down to and over the little bridge to the cabin, which is nearby the owner's home. We travel with our two little dogs, and there is not a lot of good walking right at the cabin, but the neighbourhood is great - just take a flashlight at night!
If personal mobility is an issue, know that the stairs from up to down are a bit steep and this quirky little cabin has settled some and is not totally level. We laughed about it - being boaters, it felt to us a little like being out on our boat.
The foam bed pillows and mattress were rather firm. You can make the bedroom nice and dark with the pull-down blinds for sleeping in. The tv does not have Netflix (as far as we knew) or a lot of channels, but gave us the Seahawks game, which was mainly what we wanted (even if they lost that game).
You get a lot for your dollar at this great rental, we would stay again in a heartbeat ... maybe this summer if it is available!
