Our hosts Ian and Jodi were awesome. The family coach was very clean, organized and well stocked. Check in and check out very smooth, loved the walk through with Ian who demonstrated the use of all appliances, especially the hot tub. The hot tub was a great treat at the end of the day after exploring some of the local sites. It was my birthday and the hosts left a lovely bottle of wine for us to celebrate. Most definitely will return in the future.

Amazing property and owners!

Ian and Jody were very helpful and accommodating. Ian provided a very thorough check in process and we did not need to ask any further questions. The coach was very roomy, clean, and a perfect fit. The outdoor area was excellent for relaxing and allowed us to enjoy the outdoors without having to go anywhere. The private trail had a nice view of the ocean, overall a great experience. Thanks Ian and Jody!

Just what we needed

The RV was as described. Comfy, with everything needed for our stay. The proximity to the owners house was a bit of a surprise but not a problem. We saw the owners when we checked in but then not again. The hot tub and seating area were very private.

woodland camper fun

If you like the forest (we did!), and private hot tub, proximity to beaches, lighthouse, hikes, good food in the area, starry starry skies, super helpful hosts who keep their distance, and West Coast ambience, then this is the place for you.The RV has all the conveniences given that it is dated. New appliances, comfortable bed, lots of light from windows.

Best RV stay Ive had in a long time. I although the RV is an older model everything worked great and it was very spacious feeling. We had 3 adults with us and there was plenty of space for us. It could have fit 4 adults but I think it would have been cramped. Two adults and two kids would be fine though.The property the RV sits on is more of a rural area in the woods but it was very easy to find and access. Beach is close, shopping fairly close, lots to see and do in the area of you don't want to spend time driving around alot.I would suggest checking out the Sooke Potholes, it's a cute swimming area that's fresh water and not too deep so it's good for kids.We really can't complain about anything with this property. The hot tub worked great, the shower and bathroom were a good size and worked great, the beds were very comfy, kitchen had everything you could need, the bbq worked and the hosts Jodi and and Ian were lovely welcoming people. All in all we give this place a 10 star!

RV & Hot Tub

The stay was great for our family of 4. We were able to soak in a hot tub after a good amount of hiking. We enjoyed the gas firepit while enjoying our morning coffee. We even had a visit from a couple of bald eagles. Enjoyed it all.

The Great Escape

The Great Escape is an affordable option in a great location for enjoyment of the west coast beaches and sights along the "Circle Route" and along Hwy 14. We enjoyed the hot tub, private accommodation, nearby lighthouse and Shirley Delicious coffee shop. The host personally walked us through the RV showing us everything in detail before leaving us to enjoy our stay.
