Myself, my parents, and our two dogs stayed here and absolutely loved it!! We were a short drive to Victoria (didn't have enough time to explore Sooke or Metchosin this time), and sometimes didn't even want to leave as there was so much to do at the house! It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub, pond with floaties, hammock, trail to walk the pups, the incredible deck to watch the sunset, and berry picking. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we needed to make a special birthday dinner for my dad or anything else! Jo-Ann and Rob were wonderful hosts, fantastic communication. 100/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great place to stay on Vancouver Island

This place is wonderful! Jo-Ann made us feel so welcomed. Her place is beautifully equipped,including welcoming fruits and sweet treats. After a long day of travel,we enjoyed a dip in Hidden Pond followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our children and grandchildren with us to enjoy this wonderful spot.

Full of fun nature stay that was relaxing and well thought out

Seriously great stay if you are looking for a place to relax in nature, bring a family or have a pet. The natural pond was an absolute hit for our dog, kids and grown ups! Lots of floating toys, a dock to jump in from, plenty of seating/ lounging options and beautiful landscaping at every turn. We actually gave up many of our out and about plans just to stay and play in the pond. We loved the well stocked fire pit. The hot tub was nice and toasty. The rentals deck was huge and again had many seating options, a dining table and clean BBQ with spare propane. The beds were clean and comfy. All kitchen supplies were there along with plenty of spices and some common condiments - so you don't have to go buy them :) The owners are super nice. They helped us find some great local things to do and made sure our entire stay from pre-arrival to exit was above and beyond expectations. I would definitely go back to Hidden Pond.

Paradise

Such an amazing spot for our first visit to Canada! The pond was a blast! My kiddos loved kayaking/swimming and finding frogs & salamanders. I loved spending time in the balcony and listening to the birds. Our kiddos loved the fire pit and the playhouse in the blueberry garden. Plenty of space for the 4 of us and the bunk beds were a huge hit! Everything was lovely and we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Property

The hidden pond is a great gem and the way they have developed it. When we arrived there were great treats and you can tell the hosts have a gift of hospitality.We thought we were renting the entire property, just to be clear the owners stay on the top floor (they are very nice), this rental is for the middle floor, and then they have a second part of the house that is rented separately… so there are three sets families there. Our expectations were for complete seclusion so that took us by surprise as we saw people at the pond and talked with them for awhile/. Our expectations were being alone there…. So just wanted to be clear on that. If those are expectations then you will be great and love it. We had a couple of questions while we were there and the owners were very responsive and helpful. Definitely would stay here again, very well finished apartment with lots of space for the 6 person crew with which we were traveling .Our kids loved the paddle boards, huge rubber ducky floaty and stretching out in the pond.We loved the location and the town of Metchosjn was very close… loved the main restaurant there and we went to Haitley Castle and Park and loved that too. Definitely would do the stay again! Thank y’all

Beautiful Location - quiet area. Not full home

I stayed here with my Mom, kids, brother and his wife. The suite was beautiful, and we had access to their pond and hot tub. I assumed it would be the full home because I booked through VRBO, but the home owners live upstairs. I slept in the bunk bed room with my kids, but my Mom said it was really loud in her room with people walking around upstairs in the evening and morning. Otherwise stunning location and home.
