Very relaxing and enjoyable stay

Our suite was very large, with all the amenities we could need. There were nice little touches such as cookies and muffins left for us. The location was great for what we were looking for- lots of trails and beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Hidden Pond is a Hidden Gem. Warm, welcoming and helpful hosts. Exquisite, well maintained ,beautiful property. Ferns, flowers and lily pads adorn the private pond. We spent many days enjoying the private grounds. A little piece of tranquil paradise, just 10 minutes from anything you may need. White glove clean suite has a lovely eclectic feel, right down to the "gong". We are planning our next stay already.. Thanks JoAnn and Rob for a fabulous holiday.

Loved the pond!

The highlight of this property is for sure the pond. I booked in a rush and didn't realize what we had access to. Our kids (ages 8 and 10) spent over 5 hours playing at the pond that day. There are so many different water vessels and the pond is small enough that I was confident I could "rescue" them if necessary. For the adults, it was lovely to sit in the sun and just enjoy the lush surroundings. The long strip of sandy beach is a nice touch. It was a great place to unwind, so we spent a lot less time sightseeing and more time just relaxing in the woods here. We will be back!

best home from home in the most beautiful nature

The place of Jo-Ann & Rob is truly a home from home! The property is nice and spacious, in the pure nature & We loved staying here with our two kids (9y and 7y). The entire place is full of charme, piece & easiness in a peaceful area of Metchosin (but also very, very close to all needed shops!). The outland has beautiful garden areas with lovely seating accomodations, bbq, fire pit, swimming pond! We loved your 3 very cute dogs Sasha, Mick & Leo! Overall we loved the familiar atmosphere! The apartment itself is very spacious & clean! We loved everything from equipment to furniture and decorations! Everyone was made with heart & soul! Jo-Ann & Rob are really interested that you feel comfortable and happy and they are always around if you have questions!In the end we can say that we couldn't think of any better place to stay! We will defo come back!! Lotti & Milo were desperated to leave this lovely place on earth! :) Thanks for everything! Bianca & Tim with Lotti & Milo

Wonderful stay

My wife and I just recently stayed at Hidden Pond for our 10th wedding anniversary. Everything was wonderful from check in to check out, our only regret was we had planned several activities in town and couldn’t spend more time on the property. If you get the opportunity, we highly recommend!!

We had so much fun at this great getaway. Our granddaughters swam, explored, picked and ate blueberries and blackberries, made homes for frogs. And in the evening when we were tired there was plenty of room for them to lounge and watch their favourite tv shows.

About the host

Hosted by Jo-Ann & Rob Kevala

Host profile image
Hi, we are Rob and Jo-Ann Kevala. We are both semi-retired now and enjoy life on this amazing 10 acre property. Never a shortage of gardening! We love dogs and have three of our own on the property. We welcome visitors with their own pets. Our goal in opening Hidden Pond was to share this amazing property with other amazing people and provide a luxury option for people who want to travel with their own pets.

Why they chose this property

Hidden Pond became a reality in 2020. As we began to develop our property and build trails through the forest we found an amazing spring-fed pond hidden in the woods. Alot of landscaping and a year of work we spent reclaiming this pond from the wild. Today it is the home of a private beach, pergola and where we spend our summer and winter months

What makes this property unique

Hidden Pond is a unique retreat. Often people come planning to visit Victoria and Metchosin, then find the pond and don't leave the property for their stay. Whether you choose to relax in the hot tub, sit on the beach, wander the forest trails on the property, play with your pet in the orchard or warm your toes at the firepit in the evenings you won't find a more relaxing getaway.

This suite an also be booked to ajoin with our Hidden Pond 2 bedroom family suite. VRBO listing for our sister suite is:
https://www.vrbo.com/en-ca/cottage-rental/p9671362?uni_id=8753646
We operate as both a Bed and Breakfast and vacation rental so lots of options for your stay.
