Beautifully decorated and perfect for two couples or a small family. The yard for the dogs was such a bonus, and the owners were super dog friendly as well, which is soooo hard to come by these days. The location is lovely as well, just a few minutes from the Sooke Potholes and a few from Town. Quiet and peaceful...would %100 stay here again!

It was the perfect place for me to settle back into my Canadian life, after being abroad for a few years. The cottage met all my needs: private, with nature all around and my must-haves: coffee machine and internet :) The cottage has a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances and in-suite laundry. It's spacious and tastefully west coast-style furnished and decorated. I felt very much at home there. Laura couldn't have been any kinder and sweeter. Was always quick to respond and help with whatever needed. Laura and Steve are wonderful hosts and I can only recommend their accommodation. Especially for those who want to actively explore the Westcoast beauty, with Galloping Goose trail literally in front of your doorstep, beaches, hiking trails, Sooke potholes and so much more. Thank you guys, for everything! ##### Anna K. Stayed 96 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly S.

She is 12 years old and needed a place without stairs due to arthritis. The cottage was perfect. It is surrounded by large evergreen trees with the added bonus of a Golden Eagle nest. Our host, Laura is a dog lover and instantly bonded with our pup. She was extremely responsive to our needs. The cottage has a fenced yard with a lawn, barbecue and picnic table. It has close direct access to the Galloping Goose trail for hiking and is close to the Sooke River. We would stay there again in a minute. ##### Hershall K.

Laura and Steve have created a green-forward space - ready for ebikes and electric vehicles with solar power and a lot of sunlight. Wandering across the road to take in the lovely meadow makes a great alternative for the dogs in this pet friendly rental when they need a break from the fenced back yard. Everything is new and bright. But if you also need a break, take those fully charged ebikes on the immediately adjacent and accessible Galloping Goose bike and walking trail. We did and those became highlights of the trip. ##### David W. Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucia W.
