Thank you Amanda and Dave! We loved our time at the house! It was a perfect way to relax and recharge being surrounded by the trees. We were able to swim and hike at Matheson Lake and explore the Juan de Fuca beaches. It is also super close to the galloping goose trail for amazing bike rides for the family. We loved every detail in the home, it has a fully stocked kitchen for making meals at home. We highly recommend it.
