A wonderful retreat nestled in forested neighbourhood with walking trails. Had to drive to amenities, but not far to Sidney or airport. Hosts were super, suite was well stocked with everything you needed. Special treat were the presence of two wonderful Golden Retrievers, two miniature ponies, and Topaz, the friendly horse. Had a great time (2 nights) and would absolutely stay again.

Just right
It would have been a 6 out of 5 if that had been possible. We felt like guests more than renters. The hosts were very gracious and accommodating, including letting us feed and pet the horses, and sharing fresh vegetables from their garden. They also built a fire for us, amazing starry night right by the pond, serenaded by a symphony of frogs. Very pleasant stay, would recommend.

Peaceful Refuge
I was greeted by two large friendly dogs, much to my delight. The room was pristine, well-equipped, and very private, with my own outdoor entrance. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Comfy bed, lovely linens, and good shower. The three horses happily accepted my apple treats. I went for a lovely walk through the forest straight from my room. The location is quiet and peaceful, with easy access to the rest of the Saanich Peninsula for wonderful hikes, the Deep Cove Market, the town of Sidney, and the ferry terminal.
