We highly recommend a stay at Sooke Mountain House
The house and property were an awesome, unique place to have a 4 day celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary! With the natural setting it felt like camping in a spacious, very private campground with amazing trees and gorgeous views, while at the same time having the luxury of a beautiful, comfortable, well laid out and artistically decorated home. The beds and mattresses were comfortable and the long deck table were a great place for gathering and enjoying delicious meals. The wood burning hot tub was an interesting feature and was a big hit. We loved staying at the home and also enjoyed outings to Matheson lake, French Beach, the nearby Galloping Goose trail for walking and cycling and the River Pot Holes. Our host Eoghan was very considerate and answered questions readily. Thanks so much for the delightful welcoming basket and bouquet of fresh flowers and for a wonderful stay!!

Great house for family gathering.
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay, 6 adults, 3 children (2, 3 & 5)plus 1 dog. We were very impressed with the house. It was welcoming, clean, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and lots of games, puzzles and books, the beautiful landscape and an amazing view. The grandchildren loved the playhouse and the hot tub was a big hit. The welcome basket and flowers was lovely touch. Eoghan and Maitreyi made us feel welcome and were available for any questions or concerns. Have already told some friends about it. I hope to stay again.

Amazing Sooke experience!
The Sooke Mountain House is truly worth every penny. The owners are extremely accommodating and friendly. I can't thank them enough for the experience. The floor beds were VERY comfortable as were the regular beds. The house is very spacious and the view is to die for!

Stunning nature property! Highly recommend!
This was the best property I've ever rented before! The views and property were beautiful. The hosts were great and very accommodating. It was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The beds were nicely prepared with bath and face towels beside each mattress. There was a welcome basket which was very sweet and we were able to use the condiments and spices available, which made it very easy for us so we didn't need to buy cooking oil, salt, etc. There was soap available at every sink in the house and hotel style shampoo / conditioner available. There were extra throws hanging around the house which was perfect for when it gets really cold in the house or use as another layer for the bed. The upstairs had a great movie setup with a projector and sound system. Clean up at the end was easy and straight forward (minimal and fair). And the property... Was absolutely gorgeous with a forest as the backyard, there were endless amounts of trails and hiking available to the peak with a nice little surprise at the top. The forest was filled with wonderful surprises and amazing plantation naturally grown there. I can keep going on... Thank you so much Eoghan and Maitreyi. It was truly a magical trip.

Perfect property for a family getaway!
Myself and my immediate family spent one week at Sooke Mountain House and from the moment we arrived we felt at home. The property was perfectly clean and they spent so much time to ensure that we felt welcome. Things such as the handpicked wild flowers placed in vases on the tables & the chips and wine which were placed for us on the kitchen table. My family had a wonderful time at this property and the owners were available for any questions and concerns. On our final night at the house we purchased some fresh seafood as a recommendation from the owner and had a wonderful feast. We were very sad to leave, as were my two nieces who were with us. We were worried that the girls would be bored on this trip but there was so much for them to do on the property that they didn't want to leave. We hope to return soon! Thank you to the Eoghan and his family for making this a trip to remember!

This house is located about an hour away from Victoria in Sooke, B.C. It is a beautiful property and it is very close to the Sooke potholes and the flowline which both make for excellent sightseeing. Beds are comfortable and house is fully equipped. The only downfall was the grocery store close yo the house was quite expensive. If coming from Victoria I would recommend stopping at Superstore in Langford. Overall, an excellent stay.

Sooke Bay Overlook
We were six adults and two children(11-14). We all found very interesting and fun activities, birding, beach combing, reading(an extensive library from technical to fiction), touring Butchart Gardens, and even salmon fishing. We were lucky to catch six salmon but let four escape since we only needed two for eating. The kitchen and BBQ was perfect for cooking. The grounds were perfect for walking and birding. The views over Sooke Harbor were fantastic and changed throughout the day. We accidentally met the host and he was very concerned that we were having a pleasant experience. Basically we had a very great time here.

Beautiful!
We really enjoyed our stay at this privately located property. It really is a beautiful spot. Lots of windows allowed a great view of trees and the ocean off in the distance. Eight of us (all adults) were accommodated very nicely. There is a great walking trail from the property, we visited the Sooke potholes nearby and took a trips in to nearby Langford and Victoria as well. The owners were very accommodating and left us a thoughtful gift basket as a welcome to their property. This basket included some information on things to do in the area. They really wanted their guests to have an enjoyable visit, which we did. I would love to stay there again. Thank-you again.
