The Garden Loft is exactly as pictured - bright, minimalist, and well-equipped. I wasn't expecting the additional touches like sage, nutritional yeast, and quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar (a girl of my own heart!).
Jessica was extremely attentive throughout the extreme weather event in Sooke, which caused road closures and a power outage due to a downed tree branch. She was communicative, and immediately provided a lantern, additional candles, and blankets. Most importantly, she let me check-out late to avoid having me drive in unsafe conditions. This was super appreciated.
Despite all of this excitement, I had a restful stay, enjoying the sound of the rain and wind on the roof of the loft. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to explore this underrated part of the Island - outdoorsy folks will enjoy exploring the many beaches along Highway 14, the Sooke Potholes/Todd Creek Trestle, Whiffin Spit, and Avatar Grove (past Port Renfrew). I've already recommended it to several of my friends!
Thank you, Jessica and family, for an amazing stay!
