Amazing Property

This is a very unique property that you will love. It is beautifully furnished and is located in a quiet, forest like setting, but still just minutes away from Victoria. So glad we stayed here for four nights!!

This beautifully designed and crafted cottage in a quiet woodland setting was a wonderful place for even a brief getaway, and would be delightful for a more extended stay. Kathleen is a welcoming and thoughtful host (and accomplished artist!), and the cottage is truly beautiful and beautifully equipped. Many thanks - we wouldn’t hesitate to return and hope we’ll have the chance!

This was a beautiful and relaxing place to stay, we felt off in our own little world in the woods. We had everything we needed, plus more, and communication with the owners was great. The nearby market and bakery/cafe were both excellent.

a month in the woods

I was working temporarily in Victoria and stayed in this lovely cottage. It was a home away from home. Very comfortable and cozy. After long working days it was the perfect place to come back to and unwind. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
