We stayed at Alisha & Dave’s cottage for 4 nights over the holiday season while visiting family. It was the perfect setup for a family of four, including 2 teens. The cottage is just like the pictures... very clean, everything you need to make a meal including a few staples like spices and coffee. One thing you don’t see in the pictures is the amazing amount of storage in the cottage, great closet space in each bedroom & the entrance. You won’t be tripping over your luggage & contents here. Also, the deck for guest use is very large, we did not use it because of the time of year we were there. There is a great booklet of local amenities and things to do. The neighbourhood is quiet and the lake beautiful. Grocery stores are within easy walking distance. Easy routes to drive to Victoria, Sooke and other areas. We would most definitely recommend Alisha & Dave’s cottage to other folks & would go back ourselves as well.
