All the comforts of home

Our stay was wonderful. Kip keeps a very clean home. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in her home. And, she even made us breakfast one morning. I would highly recommend.

The suite is newly renovated and has everything needed to a great stay. It is very clean and has the amenities needed. Unforunately the owner did not have my stay scheduled in her calendar and I had to call HomeAway to get in contact. Secondly, their was a child stay above/beside the suite and the baby was running around late and crying very early in the morning and it was easily heard in the suite.

Langford Stay

This is a small property with all the features a traveler needs for a night or 3. Owner lives above and was very accommodating to requests. I rented it for my 80+ yr old parents who flew in to Victoria for the weekend. The location is somewhat isolated from amenities if you aren't driving; if you are driving, then parking is a significant challenge in this tightly configured residential neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Kip Dheenshaw

Host profile image
I bought this property in a beautiful Bear Mountain almost 9 years ago. It has been a dream of mine to live and retire in Bear Mountain. Though I have many years left to retire, it's nice I achieved my dream earlier.

We have spent $300,000 in renovations throughout the home and property, along with our own blood, sweat and tears. Renovations were done in spring and fall throughout the years and were not done all at once. We have worked incredibly hard and use our Airbnb/VRBO savings to help us do these renovation. This is unit is my mother-in-law suite and we made it beautiful for her. It is not a year round rental. We short term it out when she or our family and guests are not using it. We ask all guests to understand and respect the home as though they had created and invested in the space for a love one as we did.

We enjoy doing short term rentals and have met a lot of very wonderful people! Thank you to all of those who have shown respect for us, our home and space.

Why they chose this property

This property is 3 min to Thetis Lake where you can go hiking/biking/kayaking or just sit and relax/sun tan at the sandy lake. It truly is beautiful! A definite MUST SEE! You could spend the whole entire day at Thetis too.

I'm very close to restaurants and shopping and the highway is 2-3 min away. Downtown in 20-25 min. by car.

There are many restaurants in my area; here are just a few to name:
Restaurants: Milestones, Mango Thai, pubs on Millstream Rd (sorry I don't remember the name), Tumeric, Brown's Social House, Sabhai Thai, Bin 5 (Burgers), toooooooo many to list! I have been to many of these restaurants except Bin 5. They are absolutely awesome! Love the food!

Fast Food: Subway, Dairy Queen, Starbucks, Boaster Juice, MacDonald's, A&W, KFC, Mucho Burrito, Freshii (my favourite) and more....

What makes this property unique

This property backs onto a greenbelt and is up on a mountain. Though it not all the way at the top of Bear Mountain with it's magestic views, we still have a beautiful view of the rainforest / greenbelt and have no neighbours behind us. Drive up the MTN and go golfing at the prestigious Westin Bear MTN Golf Course, wonderful dining in the hotel as well, fireworks at the hotel every Halloween!
