Just what a log cabin should be; homey, warm, and comfortable. And the back yard was like a private little oasis with a water feature, table, chairs and a BBQ. Very quiet and private.
The place was great, and mostly clean (we did find a chocolate bunny wrapper in coffee table). Great location, communication was very easy. Check in/out of as simple. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!
Property is located in a quiet neighborhood.Back yard is impressively landscaped with a pond, waterfall, fire pit , soaking tub and sauna.Perfect for those who need a place to relax & recharge.

Home away from home
We arrived to a lovely welcome of a spa like atmosphere. It was perfect for our family of five as far as space is concerned. Beautiful and tranquil backyard. Great place to stay so close to town.
5 siblings aged 80 to 70 - used property as a gathering place to visit after not seeing each other for 9 years. cousins, sisters, brothers & friends joined for dinner on saturday night. 7 people slept over very comfortably. cannot say how great it was. hope we can do it again!!
Everything was lovely right down to the little chocolates left for us for Valentines day. Very walk able and most beaches and sight seeing short drive away.Local breweries all amazing highly recommend SOB
I have stayed at many places all over Vancouver island, but this one was one of the better experiences and is very good value for the money. The soaker tub outside, the sauna, the outdoor fire pit, and robes
made it extra cozy and special. I will book again for aure!
A spa retreat. Ambient interior and serene Japanese garden with cedar soaker tub and cedar infrared sauna. Great kitchen and comfortable lounge. Easy location.
A lovely experience. Highly recommend. 💎
A modern, yet rustic log cabin home. Very cozy with private back yard. Just a couple of blocks from the Sooke boardwalk and a two minute drive to shops, restaurants, and a high-speed EV charger. Five minutes from Whiffen Spit. The property manager made sure we were comfortable and that we had everything to make our stay a pleasant one. Would highly recommend.
Had such a wonderful time at this Sooke retreat. The home was very peaceful and had the perfect backyard for our pup to play in between our exploring. The hosts were communicative and had everything we needed. Would love to come back for another stay!
We had a great stay! Everyone had somewhere comfy to sleep. It was close to town for food and groceries, Ed McGregor Park and the Wiffin Spit. A close drive to the Sooke Potholes as well.
It's a lovely log cabin that can happily accommodate a group. Great location - quiet but still close to town. Very happy with the amenities!
