Great Family stay

We stayed at this location as our younger Son was getting married. It was a fantastic location to the venue and had a great option for sleeping our older son and his family. Lots of room for everyone. The young family had their own wing of the house. My husband and I slept in the basement room and the groom got the pull out sofa in the family room. Would recommend this home for any stay in the area.

Cute House in Victoria

Very cute house, we enjoyed our stay. The location was scenic between the house landscaping and the local lake. The hosts were communicative and helpful. Downtown Victoria and the Butchart Gardens were an easy drive.

Peace and Quiet and Lovely

What a lovely place to spend a few days! We had four people in this spacious house that easily accommodated all of us. It is a few minutes from Victoria proper, but the beautiful surroundings and quiet location made it seem like the perfect place to kick back and enjoy ourselves. It also had the advantage of being half-way between Victoria and Butchart Gardens.

Clean but Sparse

The property itself was easy to find and in a good location. It was very clean upon check-in. There was a ton of space that could have been better utilized with king-size beds or additional furniture that would have made it a little more comfortable and functional.

Beautiful Stay

Accommodation was perfect for our group of 7. Plenty of space in the newly renovated house on a beautiful property. Private location with a tree lined driveway makes for a quiet getaway. Being close to the lake was a bonus. Easy access to the hwy to get us to our other destinations made our stay very convenient. Host was very responsive to all my questions.

Triathlon getaway

Location of this property could not be better as we were in town for the Ironman 70.3 race. The house was well appointed, clean, and the property beautiful. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The host was accommodating allowing us an early check in however the check in information was not provided until a few hours after our requested check in time. He did apologize and communication was good after that. I would stay here again.

Christmas Family Get Together

We met for a family gathering in Victoria. Location of this house was great: 5 minutes from one house and 10 minutes from the other that we were visiting. Property was as described and nice and roomy. Well equipped and host very responsive. Only drawback was the noise level in the basement when others were moving around on main floor. Overall we would book this home again.

Elk Lake is pleasant. Home is perfect.

Great spacious space, very clean and tidy. Super easy communications. Elk Lake trail is great and the park down the road is an easy on and off point. The trail is packed dirt and not cement. The lake was high so we found it more muddy than we expected, but all in all great location and wonderful space.
