Pour your morning coffee, make your way onto the expansive patio and be greeted by the panoramic views of sprawling green forests, the Pacific Ocean and the snow capped Olympic Mountains as you relax & rejuvenate in the new outdoor hydrotherapeutic hot tub. This exquisite new home was built by the owner with the mindset of being as environmentally conscious and complimentary to the natural surroundings as possible. Spend your days hiking, biking, swimming and exploring, knowing all the comforts of home, including the king-sized bed & fireplace and newly installed outdoor hot tub, will be waiting for you after your adventures. It is important to know before booking that we co-exist with nature and animals in our space. We have two friendly family dogs that live on the property. To add, we run a small bee farm here, Smoky Mountain Apiary (with bees currently off site for the summer) but fresh honey to taste upon your arrival! The best way to reach us is to txt although usually someone will be home to chat if you have any questions or concerns. \*\*Please do not knock on the interior door or patio glass doors. Metchosin is a quaint little town that is very much rural country living. Within minutes of your stay there are great hiking trails, ocean and lake beaches, the Galloping Goose trail, and boat/kayak rentals. This sweet little town has a few food establishments, many side-of-the-road farmers stands that sell veggies, eggs, flowers and baked goods. We pride ourselves on being honest, hard-working, community-minded people always willing to help a neighbour. A personal vehicle is needed to get around Metchosin. The hot tub on the patio is shared with the owners. We are very respectful and quiet and offer guests their own privacy to relax & enjoy the space without disturbance. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Lobby sitting area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2780000/2774700/2774661/e253be3e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Parkside Hotel & Spa Downtown Victoria - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3,113 reviews CA $279 CA $328 total includes taxes & fees Oct 29 - Oct 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=2774661&PinnedHotelID=2774661&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107190000/107189100/107189019/1f36c874.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private cabin with Hot Tub!!! close to lake, beaches, trails and king size bed.

This was an absolutely amazing, peaceful and lovely stay! The route to get here was a little winding and long, but we were rewarded with the most stunning views and clean, comfortable, and modern suite at the top. Delightful amenities and little touches awaited us and we thoroughly enjoyed the few days we spent here. I could go on and on about this stay and all the positives, but suffice it to say, it was all things wonderful and delightful! The highest recommendation for our hosts and without a doubt we would stay here again. (Make sure you pick up some of their honey...it's delicious and we gifted it to family on our return. Everyone has enjoyed it and said its some of the best honey they've ever had!) ##### lisa h. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felix R.
