GUEST ACCESS
The back of the property is very private from our living area and all yours to enjoy though you may see us from time to time gardening and playing in the front in passing and hear us on our deck above yours during the warmer months.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
This is a family home, we live above the suite with our 8 year old daughter and 13 year old super friendly black Lab, Guinness and you will hear us from time to time or run into us and our dog in the yard. We do lead a quiet lifestyle and spend a lot of time out of the house at work and at school though if you are seeking a completely silent accommodation this may not be the best fit for you.
While we are child-friendly accommodation, the suite is not "child-proof" so we don't have covers on plugs, child locks on cupboards or furniture secured to the walls.

Forest visit

Shena is a most welcoming Host and very willing to help answer any questions. She has great attention for detail and the suite is very well stocked, organized, exceptionally clean and cozy. It was most relaxing and the close proximity to the beautiful rainforest and walking trails was a highlight. The sauna, a rarity, is also well supplied. Overall a 10/10 experience and a gold standard for the hospitality sector. Thank you Shena for helping create a memorable experience for me. Patricia B.

Perfect and Peaceful

We were thrilled with our stay at Forest Retreat and we will certainly be back whenever we need to be in Victoria. Shena had provided so many thoughtful touches around the place that were most useful and appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked with basics, including foil, parchment, and saran (which are often not available), and sharp food prep knives! (a rare occurrence indeed in our experience with staying in self-contained suites - the knives are usually too dull to cut anything). Loved that there were extra towels and tea towels on hand ... just in case. So many times I take these things myself (when driving to a destination), knowing that you can never count on having everything you need at the rented accommodation. Not so at Forest Retreat - definitely had everything we needed! Bed was super comfy. Back yard was a peaceful oasis. Shena and family (including Guinness!) were very friendly, considerate, and helpful. Communications, and indeed all the instructions and labels in the suite were excellent. We have already told our friends and neighbours up island about this wonderful place, which makes an ideal base for exploring Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula, or Sooke .... or a just a lovely quiet spot to stay when needing to be in Vic for whatever reason. We will be back for sure ... definitely tons to explore near there and many lovely hikes.

Wonderful get away with an attentive host.

We had a wonderful stay here with our two young children. The house is well equipped and furnished to a high standard and very clean. The additional bedding, fans, snacks, washer and tumble dryer were a great help! The location is great, near enough to local shops if you want anything but far enough away to feel secluded and private. Being so close to the woods and walks was great. The host was wonderful, checking in and out was a breeze and communication very quick, personable and helpful.

Comfortable bed abd very quiet at night. The host Shena was easy to contact and very responsive. Was no problem to have my adult daughter come to visit and cook breakfast together. The nearby trails were gorgeous for a walk.

Wonderful!

This place was beautiful, welcoming and comfortable. When we first got there, the first thing I noticed was how fresh and clean it smelled. The big windows let in lots of natural light when the blinds/curtains were open, and the view of the forest out back really made it feel like a retreat. We were literally steps away from the walking path around Thetis Lake, which was wonderful! The host was easy to communicate with, and checked in after our first night to make sure everything was good. Would definitely recommend this beautiful spot!

Great little spot

Enjoyed our stay at Shena’s forest retreat. She was very attentive and the place was exactly what we needed. We were in many events downtown and the drive was about 20 minutes from downtown where we were going, so it was fairly good for location for us. The Thetis lake trails are easily accessible (100-150 steps away from the property) and are a must walk. Having such a nice walk so close was such a treat. We would for sure stay there again. Great spot. Thanks Shena!

Calming Forest Retreat

My husband and teenaged son and I had a wonderful time in this immaculate, spacious, quiet property. It was walking distance to the lake, coffee shop and wood fired pizza restaurant. The owners have paid such attention to details, such as the handmade soaps, coffee/tea bar, and luxurious blankets. The sunroom was a lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee or read later in the day. The backyard over looks the forest, so it is peaceful and calming. I highly recommend this property for a couple or family with one child.
