Such a wonderful trip.
We were delighted with this comfortable and homey rental. The detail in the decorations is incredible. On our 6th day, we were still discovering it's amazing secrets. I wish we had more time to hear about the fascinating antiques inside the property.
The host, Lou, was wonderful. She was very attentive to our needs, providing us with fresh eggs from her chickens and local blueberries without us asking. She also helped us out greatly when we had car issues. She set us up with a local car shop that fixed our issue in less than 30 minutes.
While respectful of our time and space, our time spent with Lou were among our fondest memories of our trip. She is a gem!
The yard, overlooking the beautiful Sooke Basin, was so quiet and peaceful and well appointed for our comfort. The east-facing yard, where it is located along the water, is sheltered and warm. While we could see the wind in the trees in front of the house, the yard was calm and comfortable.
My only advice for future guests, is to trust the directions. You 100% will question them, but just keep driving until you see the house.
I also have to give some credit to Charlie, the dog. He was so patient and sweet with my dog and let her get comfortable with him before he went in for a sniff. He's a very good boy.
We will absolutely be back.
