Canât say enough about this place. We felt like we were staying at a spa - super clean, peaceful, and quiet. We couldnât wait to get back at the end of our day to enjoy the place.
Eliseâs property is just like the photos - cute, clean, and convenient. We had a wonderful stay while shooting a movie in Vancouver island. Elise checked in and offered new towels in the middle of our long stay as well which was a lovely touch. We would stay here again if given the chance to come back and visit the island!
I loved Eliseâs place. It was just 5 minutes away from Sooke Central District, but felt like I was in my own private place in the woods. Beautiful scenery and Elise was very friendly. Would stay here again on another Sooke trip.
Loved my stay here. Beautiful forest setting, well equipped, comfortable, clean suite. Elise was a gracious host. I had a few requests and she responded immediately with what I needed. I would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful suite tucked in the forest. Close to town and attractions. Very peaceful and quiet. Had all the amenities. Was nice to sit and listen to the birds and see some wild rabbits. The suite was very spacious. Very comfortable bed. So cozy and lovely. Would def return and recommend.
Clean, comfortable, peaceful, and convenient location. SUCH an enjoyable stay! It even smelled wonderful :) When we weren't out seeing Sooke and the surroundings, or grabbing a local brew, we were sitting in the living room looking out the side or back windows at the bunnies grazing in the pretty yard. The bed and pillows were amazingly comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, including three ways to make coffee and a nice teapot. Thank you, Elise and fam!
Love this place! Very relaxed and tranquil forest setting paired with stylish and classy minimalist style. Enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the surrounding birdcalls. Great base of operations to enjoy the surrounding area - close to restaurants / amenities and outdoor attractions. Easygoing and flexible hosts too!We also enjoyed the occasional visits from the cute kitty and big friendly dog that live elsewhere on the property. Hoping to stay again in the future!
Elise and Garys place is exquisite. We are so grateful to have found this last minute booking and will absolutely return in the future. Nestled in the woods, their rental is warm, cozy, comfortable and luxurious. It has everything you need and they are a text away for anything else! It was a joy to hear the Swanson thrushs every evening and morning, that was icing on the cake. Can't wait to come back!!!
What a beautiful, clean, well laid out accommodation. We loved the accessibility to town while being enveloped by lush forest. Having stayed at more than a few VRBOs, this stay was refreshing. I have never really recommended a place before but feel I must with this property. Highly recommended! We will be staying here again.
Sehr schöne, saubere und ruhig gelegene Unterkunft mit groĂer privater Terrasse und sehr bequemen Bett. Es sah genau so aus wie auf den Fotos. Die Vermieterin war sehr hilfsbereit. Die Katze kam uns besuchen und wollte gestreichelt werden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.Das einzige kleine Manko war die etwas spĂ€rlich eingerichtete KĂŒche: das Besteck war abgezĂ€hlt, es gab keinen groĂen Topf in dem man Nudeln hĂ€tte kochen können. DafĂŒr gab es aber einen Grill!Wir wĂŒrden jeder Zeit wieder kommen.
We are located on the side of a beautiful mountain called Broom Hill. Surrounded by lush forest, beautiful wildlife and peace and quiet, we feel like we live in paradise.
