We stayed here over the Canada Day long weekend and absolutely loved it. The house and property are really lovely. The house is warm and inviting with a lot of areas to enjoy alone or as a group. We had one really rainy day and everyone was happy to stay inside with lots of areas to play games, watch dvd's and read in front of the wood burning stove. The property that it sits on is really large with lots of space - I started my day with coffee on the patio and everyone enjoyed our nightly hot tub star gazing and roasting marshmallows around the fire! The house is close to all of the beaches along the Juan de Fuca trail and to Jordan river and Sooke and is a great launch point to so many amazing activities. There is great food in the area with the cold shoulder cafe - which has excellent sweet and savory baked goods and excellent coffee, and a further drive but worth it is the stoked pizza place - call ahead and it is ready for pick up! Olivia was really responsive and had a lot of helpful tips for things to see and do. Highly recommend!!
