My friend and I had never been to Victoria before and Susan's place on the Gorge Waterway caught my eye right away. Communication was immediate from the start and Susan and Steve were very helpful with directions and our questions. They greeted us at the front and gave us a tour. Susan had a nice welcome basket waiting for us. What a great touch! What a great location! What a view! You can tell Susan loves to garden, so many beautiful flowers. We sat in the kitchen or on the porch and watched people pass by. Susan must have been in the hospitality industry because she had everything anyone could want for the traveler, including a sewing kit, scissors, and tape. There was a shower and separate bathtub and there were bath suds and lovely hand soaps. The bedrooms were spacious, the beds comfortable and ample variety of pillows. We didn't have a rental car, so chose to just hop on the local bus system - which is very clean and a direct line to downtown. The bus stop was 500 feet up the street - so close! We walked a lot - so much to see. Weather was perfect. Four days didn't cover all we wanted to do, so we'll be back again some day and Susan's place will be on the top of our list. Thank you Susan and Steve.
