We spent three nights in Sooke at MaryLou's beautiful waterfront home in November and it was absolute perfection. Her home is beautiful - charming but modern/fresh and so very comfortable. Everyone room has a gorgeous water view. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and we had the best time hiking the many trails near her home, playing games by the fire and enjoying the fresh mountain air. MaryLou was such a gracious host, too - like dealing with a best friend. I would go back to her home in a heartbeat.
