The property was perfect for us as a family of 5 to stay in the area for a wedding. It was clean and spacious and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely kitchen and dining area and appreciated the provided tea and coffee. The kitchen was well stocked if someone wanted to cook.

Thank you for the use of your home, it was a perfect retreat in the woods, exactly what our three generations were looking for, it suited our needs perfectly. From the fire pit and its peaceful view, the big grilling space on the bbq, the homey feel to the kitchen, and beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers on the dining room table that was a great space for us to play cards. The chill vibe set for our two dogs to enjoy them selves as well made for a more relaxed experience. We enjoyed the location being far enough to feel away from it all but still close enough for visiting the local area with ease. We left with new family memories that we will hold with us always. Thank you.

The kitchen was well-stocked, the appliances worked great, and our kids loved the selection of movies, game systems, and the backyard trampoline. The main backyard area was a nice space to hang out with the kids. The host was very quick to respond to messages.Prior to arrival, we were told there would be a stack of materials for a greenhouse project, there were multiple large piles of old wood, fencing and debris. The host had messaged me a few days before we arrived that there were dogs and chickens housed on site. The dogs barked constantly throughout our stay. The house does not have AC, as the listing says. Fortunately, the temperature remained manageable by opening windows, the downstairs area stayed cool, but was quite damp.The biggest concern for us was the lack of privacy. We were assured before arriving that no one else would be on the property during our stay, aside from brief visits to tend to the animals. However, on our first afternoon, people began arriving as we were heading out. We left for 20 minutes and returned to find three cars parked outside. We left again to go swimming, hoping they would be gone. When we returned a second time over 1.5 hours later, the group was still there having a family get-together in our rented backyard.The group seemed to feel it shouldn't be a big deal for them to hang out since they were family, and we were made to feel uncomfortable simply for asking for our space back.

Relaxing time in the forest

Good value for a stay in the forest with nice river access. Cabin is off-grid as mentioned but all amenities are there. There is quite the DVD and VHS collection available as well, some nice classics in there. Check in was simple and host was great.

Relaxing by the river

A great location to get out of the city and enjoy nature. Within walking distance to two beautiful spots by the Koksilah river and nearby to Shawnigan Lake. Kiki was prompt with responding and we had no issues during our stay.

More Natural

Totally away from the loud bustle of any town. Peace, privacy and back to nature. For that you give up cell phone service; but you can still text...so, perfect! Helping nature by using solar power; you MUST be consious of turning off lights, tv, etc. Bit of a drive to get anywhere..So, over all. Small price to pay for get back to nature experience

Fabulous getaway!

For 6 adults and two babies, this cabin in the woods type home was fantastic! Kiki was so welcoming, and the location was a lovely home away from home. Lots to do for the kids outside (lots of space and toys), and both a big fire pit and small propane- fire pit for the adults. The area is about 10-15min to Shawnigan Lake, which is fantastic for swimming and enjoying summer days or there's a watering hole a few minutes up the road to enjoy! Kiki was incredibly responsive and helpful to any questions or needs we had. Beware - there are two enormously cute, friendly and cuddly fur babies onsite (dogs) which while all of us are dog lovers, if you're not, these two adorable dogs will melt your heart if you get to meet them! ♥️☺️ Thanks Kiki!

Great get away

Great spot! You'll read mixed reviews on the location/accommodations. But if you read what Kiki offers, it's exactly that. Essentially we knew what we were getting into and it was a perfect and peaceful get a way. We had 2 kids, my husband and I and my mother in law. We had plenty of space for everyone to have their own room and then some. Lots of outside space for kids, along with toys and play equipment. We spent our days in Victoria and as north as Sidney. It is a bit of a drive, but it was worth it for the space and accommodations. There is no way we would have found the same accommodations closer to the City. Would 100% stay here again.

Little get away

The property was lovely! A fun outdoor area to hang around at and let the kids run around. What I didn’t like was the fact that there was no privacy and the host doesn’t state that they will be on the property while you are there. Also didn’t like that they advertised that there was a hot tub and to my surprise there was no hot tub at all. The whole reason I booked it was because of the hot tub. There was minimal supervision on the hosts kids in the evening time so when I was trying to enjoy family time and sit by the fire the kids stared at us while we tried to enjoy family time. Over all place was nice and clean and a really nice area away from cell reception.

Luxury off-grid, but too dark for us. There is a lot to like about the place. Excellent internet and an unbounded backyard paradise for youngsters. However, we lacked a view and sunlight. Not obvious to us from the ad was that the unit was not stand-alone. The building is divided in two, and we lacked access to the advertised deck of the other unit occupied by owner/agent. The only view was standing in the kitchen in the upper level. The rest of the unit was on the bottom level, sunk part-way into the ground on a cool dry modern concrete pad. There were windows, but the low level view is blocked by RVs, fencing, wood supports etc. The kitchen view was also not viewable from the main kitchen table - so lights on in the middle of the day as other window blocked by lattice etc. On the plus side, everything was modern and worked (except dryer and bbq needing maintenance). Having the other unit occupied by someone looking after the place also meant the generators were started automatically when stored solar power ran low. Swimming holes and nearby hiking also great. Older folks may want hiking poles to manage steep descent.

Beautiful cabin in the forest

This is a true gem. The location cannot be beat for a forest getaway. The swimming hole nearby was definitely a highlight. The cabin is comfortable and well stocked with items. It has a rustic feel to it. We had an amazing time staying there and I would happily return! * there is a couple things on the description that is a touch misleading- it is only 3 bedrooms, not 4. The fourth "bedroom" is the living room with couches and a TV in the photos. It has doors on it so it can be private and the couch is comfortable enough to sleep on, but in my opinion that doesnt count as a bedroom. Also there is no AC. The bottom floor is cool becuse of geothermal temperature control, but the upstairs (which has the kitchen and dining area) does get warm as it just had the fan to cool it off. Not sure why the listing had an AC icon in the ammenities. That doesnt take away from what a wonderful place it is, its just worth noting for your planning. The outdoor play space is a wonderful touch.We really enjoyed the trampoline and outdoor living room. Some of the kids play equiptment needs some TLC but there is lots of great stuff there. If you want a rustic getaway in nature, dont hesitate on this place.

This property was not at all as described in the listing. Piles of debris and filth everywhere, constant noise from the onsite Rooster and Chicken Coop. Awful smell of cat urine throughout the interior of the house. Windows with broken screens. Host lies when a complaint is filed yet contradicts herself through messaging. Would advise any future renter to run away, not walk. Worst experience ever. Not to mention an entire house is displayed in the listing but what you actually get is half. Had a 7 day reservation and we left 15 hours after checking in. That should speak for itself. Had to cancel the trip for 3 out of 7 in our group.

Perfect getaway spot.

We had the pleasure of hosting a birthday party at this cabin and it had everything we needed and more. From a fully equipped house, comfortable sleeping quarters with ample space for extra guests to camp in tents. It's a 2 minute walk down to the river, and tons of property for kids and dogs to play outside. This was a mixed group of adults and kids who hadn't been able to celebrate in about 5 years together, so as expected a bit more noise and excitement happened but we had lots of space inside and out for people to play games, talk and relax. We spent evenings around the campfire, and days down at the river. BBQ was a main cooktop for all guests and we left there feeling recharged and grateful for the time spent together. Kiki was a great host, and even though she and her family live on site it was not a distruption to our celebrations whatsoever. We cannot wait to bring family and friends alike back to this hidden gem spot!

Location wins

Cabin: a small shelter or house, made of wood and situated in a wild or remote area. This is what we expected, but it wasn’t what we found here. The place, although spacious and in a great location, is part of the owner’s house. The living room has a wood stove (which is the only heating source) but is dominated by a huge fitness machine. Great kitchen, nice bathroom, lousy beds with sink hole mattresses. To make this place its money worth the (friendly) owner must step up to earn a better review.

Great place for a crowd

We had a great time at this house which as advertised is in a secluded setting with access to river swimming spot. There is ample sleeping and relaxing space in the house which is really well equipped for an off grid setup. You might need to plan a shower rota for a large group but the water is fantastic and the house has everything you could want.
