Spectacular views, near beaches

Come enjoy the spectacular ocean and mountain vistas sitting on the sun deck or in the spacious, comfortable, living room after exploring the many beautiful beaches and trails near by. Our home was lovingly constructed by my husband John, who is a custom home builder and designer, using natural materials from our local area and a considerable amount of repurposed wood and brick.
We are fortunate to live in a quiet, spacious and serene place, surrounded by nine acres and beauty in the form of wildlife, trees, the Pacific Ocean, the Olympic mountains and an endless sky that lights up with countless stars on clear nights.
Cairn, where you will stay, is attached to our house but completely separate and private. We are available if needed but we give guests complete privacy. Guests have their own private entry, parking space and deck.
Off seasons rates in effect from October to March.

Beautiful property - great hosts
We came here for a restful stay , for a location that was a home base for visiting family and friends and for amazing ocean views. This beautiful home delivered on all counts and the hosts were wonderful. Thanks John and Janis for accommodating my odd requests for my radio contest - which was a success .It was a pleasure to meet and get to know you ( and Mellow!) and look forward to our next visit.

Sweet stay at Otter Point
We stayed at this lovely home for a long weekend to celebrate my mom’s 70th Bday. The views were beautiful and the beds were comfortable. We had warm muffins waiting for us when we checked in. They were delicious! The hosts offered us some firewood to make a fire in the fireplace. Such a cozy October evening playing games with my family by the fireplace. Will definitely stay at this place again while touring Vancouver Island.

Unique house on wonderful property with great view
Great place in a peaceful setting. Very unique custom built house by the homeowner. The apartment is attached to the main house along one wall. It is spacious and open with a great view and it's own entry and patio with view. The home owners were kind and caring and even shared some fresh baked goods with us! We had a relaxing few days.

Special Home and Thoughtful Touches
VRBO meets B&B for perfect balance of genuine hospitality and privacy. The home is beautiful, cozy, welcoming, unique, crafted with love by John and Janis. The living room felt larger than pictured. We picked and enjoyed blackberries and plums in the yard, went for a nice walk around the large property, enjoyed the fresh cheddar biscuits with our dinner. Fresh flowers throughout the home. The fireplace would be lovely in winter! We liked the location that enabled a day trip into Victoria but was centered in nature.

Great get-away but plan for ferry transportation if required
Great accommodations for four seniors. There are 19 stairs to the two bedrooms on the second floor full bath if that is an issue for anyone. The first floor Bedroom has no windows but the main living area can provide an alternate sleeping area. Be aware of the ferry schedule to access Vancouver Island as we had to make some changes because of other family matters and were not able to reserve the times that worked the best. However, the Host was accommodative so that we could still enjoy our stay at the property. We would stay there again.

Quiet place outside of Sooke
Overall, we had a great stay. The location is very quiet, about 10 minutes outside of Sooke. The description was accurate and worked well for our group (2 adults and 2 kids). The hosts were very helpful and quickly responded to all of our questions.
