Fun and homey

This was the perfect place to kick back and relax after a long day of work. The hot tub was perfect for relieving sore muscles after standing all day and the beds were comfy. Our group of four had a great time and would stay here again

This place had a super cool vibe and everything you could possibly need to cook for yourself. There was snacks if you were hungry, work out equipment, a hot tub, very spacious living room and so much more! The hockey memorabilia was my favourite part!

Great place for out of town family

I rented this property for 2 older relatives visiting Canada, it was a great location and suited them well. The only thing they struggled with was using the kitchen gadgets vs a more standard kitchen. The place was fabulously clean and the home gym was fabulously entertaining for them. The hosts were great and really helped them to settle in.

Home Away From Home

This was our first trip since covid. What an amazing experience to arrive at at such a welcoming “home away from home”! Every possible amenity available. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming. Our rental space was clean and well set up. Comfortable bed and pillows! Only complaint is we couldn’t stay longer.

Easy to Find, Close to Highway

Really enjoyed our stay. Lots of room. It was just as it was pictured on the listing. Really enjoyed looking at the Hockey Memorabilia on the walls. Be sure NOT to drive up the actual driveway, but look at the fence at the bottom of the driveway, park in front of the sign. Try to get there in the light - no street lights.

From the moment we booked our trip Kira & Chris were sure to cover all the details that might improve our stay. It was easy to make ourselves at home there. Artesian by Chris was an added bonus, I suggest you try, we were so impressed. This place surpassed all expectations and super pet friendly! Thank you Kira & Chris, you guys are genuinely kind & caring. I look forward to the next visit. The vibe was amazing from the start!

Excellent place, felt like home

1. Well organised hosts: good and detailed instructions. 2. Always answered to emails in a timely manner. 3. Kitchen and bathroom are full of required daily stuff and products which makes life of tourists easier. They even had a sunscreen and hair straightener! 4. Comfy beds, hot tub, patio, BBQ/grill. 5. Grocery/liqueur stores close by. 6. Definitely suggesting to try Chris' cured meats. Thank you for having us, Kira and Chris!

Quiet and relaxing retreat

I was working in Victoria for two weeks and this was the perfect place for my stay. Quiet neighborhood that was very nice to return to after a long day of work. Hot tub is wonderful and I also enjoyed the work out room. Definitely recommend and will not hesitate to book again the next time I am in the area.
