Staying at Mary and Dan's was simply a dream.
Beautifully designed, we loved the open simplicity of the warm wood and the continuous horizon of the stunning scenery of arbutus trees, ocean and mountains from breakfast until dusk. Plenty of amenities, games, music and cooking utensils, just add the great local cuisine and you're set.
Our hosts were truly accommodating, and were personable by email and in person as well. Their suggestions of the local artisan event, the beach not 5 minutes away, and the My-Chosen café and pizza rounded out the social outings to complement this quiet retreat. We did not miss the contemporary luxuries of television, microwave, and even Internet service (although a 10min drive to the corner store will get you connected). In fact, it would have been a shame to have them around, for fear of missing the sounds and colours of the peaceful treetops down to the placid waters.
Our young daughter absolutely loved being here, and was thrilled to be greeted by three deer on our first night. She even braved the cold waters of the Sooke potholes, staring at minnows ankle deep.
Pictures do not give justice to the experience of this warm place offered by warmer people, which is evident in the details offered.
Thank you from our family to yousrs!
