My husband and I stayed for two nights and it was the perfect spot to walk the Galloping Goose trail as well as to explore Sooke (including a delicious lunch at Little Vienna Bakery in town). The house is larger than I expected but very cozy and is stocked with anything you might need to enjoy your time exploring (i.e games, bear spray, umbrellas, sunscreen, etc). The location is so private and we felt like we were at home amongst the forest while still having great internet connection so I could work when I needed to. We enjoyed 2 sunny days during our stay but the cottage has so many windows that even on the rainy day you can still enjoy the beauty of the location while being inside (next to the wood burning stove). I could go on about all the great features (hot tub overlooking the water, huge deck, lots of different birds to watch) but instead I will just say do yourself a favor and book!
