We arrived in the midst of a rainstorm and were greeted by a charming, tree-lined driveway leading to Linda's property. She met us promptly and showed us to the suite, which was in excellent condition. Details like the stone fireplace, and woodwork throughout the suite made it especially cozy during the cold weather, and there was plenty to see through the windows that faced the garden and forest. Linda's place was far enough from the town of Sooke to make us feel like we were at a forest retreat, yet close enough that a nice dinner at a local restaurant was quick and easy. We'd love to return someday!
