We had a wonderful time at Eileen's home in Metchosin! She made us feel so welcome, with a gift of homemade granola for the first breakfast, and the recommendation of numerous gorgeous trails within walking and close driving distance of the house. The view from the balcony where we ate our meals was exactly as shown in the photo. The house is about 20 minutes' drive from Victoria, but has a relaxing rural and private feel. Another 20 minutes' drive away is a gorgeous coastal day hike with views of the Olympic mountains. There is a trail with a waterfall and a beach within walking distance from the house. The house was clean and matched the photos. Highly recommended!
