This was the loveliest place my partner and I have stayed in while using Airbnb, both in terms of the residence itself and the exterior environment. It is comfortable, clean, spacious and has everything you need to cook, rest and work. We spent a lot of time outdoors, running and hiking various trails including the Sooke Potholes, Galloping Goose and many others. We also spent hours inside sitting by the large windows that overlook the river. We were lucky enough to be there during the Salmon Run and saw many fish, birds, and other wildlife. This place is a lovely refuge nested in a glorious wilderness, while also being close enough to town to make staying there very convenient. Leuntje and her family are an amazing group of people, and we feel lucky to have spent time with them. They are very warm and welcoming, and have many tips on where to go next in and around Sooke. Highly recommended and we intend to return!
