Our stay at this picture-perfect property was truly unforgettable! The expansive pond, vibrant gardens, and friendly animals made it feel like a little slice of paradise. The owner went above and beyond, warmly welcoming us and even showing my son the ponies—he was thrilled! We only wish we could have stayed longer! We would love to visit again!

My friend and I had an incredible visit here, our hosts were so very lovely and it was the perfect start to summer getting to relax in the backyard with their friendly pups, serene mini horses, and overall good vibes. Swimming in the pond was an especially fantastic time. Great place, great people, would visit again for sure.

Amazing property off the beaten track

This was my second time staying at the property in the last few months. The last stay was so great, that I had to return for a second experience. One of the comfiest beds with old school home-made comforter/quilts and Westin-bed level pillows. Super quiet and peaceful and the hosts are wonderful.

Quiet Getaway

I enjoyed the cozy room and bright, clean bathroom with a porcelain tub. The setting was lovely with pond and corral with 2 miniature horses. Hosts and their 2 golden retrievers were friendly. Memorable stay.

Pup’s Paradise!

Hidden gem is right! We had a wonderful time exploring North Saanich and using this as a home base for lots of other BC exploration. We brought our dog, and she had such a blast! The hosts were amazing, so welcoming and kind. They shared with us their horse, miniature horses, and golden retrievers, as well as great recommendations for hiking and food. This was the perfect holiday, not only for us, but for our pup, who was definitely in paradise!

It was quite an very country. It was different from the airb&bs we have rented in the past. It was like a hotel room. Very clean and served our needs perfectly. It had trails to take a walk a nice pond to set and ponder on your day. The owner was very nice. He lives in the house and the room is attached. His dogs are great will fetch for hours 😊

Dreamiest Getaway Ever

This place was seriously amazing. The guest room was super cozy and had everything we needed, but the real magic was everything outside. The hot tub was perfect at night with the stars overhead, and we had so much fun using the paddle boards during the day. And the miniature ponies?? Actual little angels. We visited them every morning like it was our job.The whole stay felt peaceful and special, and the hosts were awesome! Super friendly and easy to communicate with. It honestly felt like a hidden gem, and we’re already talking about coming back.If you’re even thinking about booking, just do it. You won’t regret it

We only stayed one night, but the property was beautiful, the owners were pleasant and respectful, and the animals (two dogs and two ponies) were sweet and playful. This stay was exactly what we needed for a break during our 20-day road trip.

Peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful setting. Great host. Enjoyed swims in the pond and breakfast in the gazebo. The trails right next to the property giving me,my sister and puppy awesome places to hike. Their pets, two golden retrievers and two miniature ponies were entertaining plus rabbits that would show up from out of the underbrush. Our only beef was that the freezer part of the fridge needed defrosting, which my sister and I took care of. Great place for a city dweller to escape into a relaxing atmosphere, and a place to rejuvenate from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Beautiful entry to drive up to on arrival.
The two puppies debating on going for a swim.
My pappy basking in the afternoon sunlight.
Seating in front of the pond. Best place to sit and relax any time of day.

Overnight stay on the Island in a lovely VRBO

Such a great place. Room was set up with everything you would need. They thought of the little things. Bed comfy. Beautiful property with a pond. They set us up to have a fire in the evening & morning. We listened to tree frogs & owls. Lovely walking area through forest behind the home. Miniature ponies. A nearby shore where we watched sunset and seals playing. Close to ferry. Hosts were great. Super friendly & helpful. We will be back!
