We really enjoyed the cottage. Lots of space, clean, quiet, comfortable, with a modern kitchen and laundry room - it felt like home! The hot tub, the rabbits and hummingbirds in the yard, and the miniature horses next door were nice perks. The location is very convenient for hiking and exploring, with Sooke nearby and many beaches and regional parks within a 35-min drive. We especially loved walking down the road to Muir Creek - what a magical place with the creek, pebble beach, waterfalls, fossils, birds, otters and seals (and the occasional hardcore surfers in head-to-toe neoprene). Ron is a very friendly host and quick to respond to messages.
