Hidden pond is a great get away, beautiful located.Our Host Jo-Ann was very welcoming and friendly.Communication with Jo-Ann easy and quick of reply!The house is pet friendly.Everything was spic and span when we arrived. What more to wish for???One place to come back for!!!!
A perfect place to hang out with a group of friends! Between the swimming hole, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor dining area, lots of cozy blankets, and such great hosts, we had a wonderful weekend!
We had a wonderful time! We were welcomed upon arrival, instructions were very clear and the property was fantastic. There was more than enough space and more than enough things to do on site. Hot tub was hot and clean, and even the trails had a little surprises along the way for us to check out! We had a great deal of fun. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be booking for the summer months when we can enjoy the property even more highly recommend Hidden Pond! The only very minor suggestion I would make is to have a more updated library of books and games. Otherwise everything was perfect.
Such a special property! The owners have taken so much pride in making it an excellent retreat. The work and effort is very obvious, and there are surprises around every corner. Great communication, lots of extra touches and treats. A perfect location for our family reunion. Highly recommend!
Unit was clean, beautiful, spacious. The property is so charming- truly a quiet, peaceful retreat. We love the My Chosen cafe and farmers market. Truly did not wish to leave and we’ve already told all our friends about it!
This place is wonderful! Jo-Ann made us feel so welcomed. Her place is beautifully equipped,including welcoming fruits and sweet treats. After a long day of travel,we enjoyed a dip in Hidden Pond followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our children and grandchildren with us to enjoy this wonderful spot.
The property is immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was big enough to fit all 8 of us comfortably and has plenty of room to stretch out. The kids loved the pond. Thanks for your hospitality Jo-Ann and Rob!
Beautiful house with gorgeous pond and hiking trails on property! Host was very good about communicating regarding property. Thoughtful touches: muffins, seltzer, fruit for guests along with well-appointed kitchen. Outdoor deck. About a half an hour from downtown Victoria. Note that host controls the heating/cooling but is available to adjust.
We loved our stay at Hidden Pond. Jo-Ann was such a gracious and kind host. She met us at check in and was available by text if we needed her. The property is beautiful and we can't wait to go back and enjoy it in the summer! Highly recommend!
Myself, my parents, and our two dogs stayed here and absolutely loved it!! We were a short drive to Victoria (didn't have enough time to explore Sooke or Metchosin this time), and sometimes didn't even want to leave as there was so much to do at the house! It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub, pond with floaties, hammock, trail to walk the pups, the incredible deck to watch the sunset, and berry picking. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we needed to make a special birthday dinner for my dad or anything else! Jo-Ann and Rob were wonderful hosts, fantastic communication. 100/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Family trip, kids had a blast at the pond!
Very relaxing scenery.
And yes, muffins/cookies upon arrival, delicious!
Very welcoming hosts.

This was a great find! Awesome well equipped suite. We stayed in the family suite and there was 6 of us who were very comfortable. Swimming pond is adorable, hot tub is private and host was attentive and easy to access.
Lovely property with plenty of comfortable relaxation space inside and out. The owners really tried to cover all our needs. The driveway and walkways are pretty steep, which can be expected on a hillside, so as long as you are prepared for that you will have a wonderful stay.
We had a great stay here, everything was exactly as we had hoped from the listing and photos. Swimming pond was a definite highlight! The hosts struck a perfect balance between being helpful and available when needed but also very relaxed and not in our way at all. We would definitely return and would recommend this stay to friends and family.
We really enjoyed our stay in the family suite at the hidden pond. The accommodations were beautiful and we were taken back by how much room there was. The amenities were amazing, from the hot tub, to the garden, to the peaceful pond. The fresh baked goods were a lovely touch. Can’t wait to come back and stay at hidden pond again!
We had an amazing and memorable stay at Hidden Pond. Jo-Ann was very thoughtful with all the little extras. The home was beautifully decorated and very warm and inviting.
The pond area was so tranquil and lush. Our only regret was that it was too short of a stay.
Thank you Jo-Ann for making it a memorable stay for a group of school friends celebrating our 60th birthday year.
We were a group of 7 friends in town for the Victoria Marathon. We stayed at Hidden Pond and although it was slightly out of town (about 35 mins from downtown Victoria) it was the perfect place to prep before and relax after. We loved the hottub and the relaxing outdoor furniture and large outdoor table where we had a big thanksgiving dinner after the rcae. Rob was super friendly and responsive and the place was huge, clean, and had so many lovely special touches!
Jo-Ann & Rob stayed focused on our needs and responded quickly throughout our time with them.
We particularly enjoyed the walking trail on their property; the trail is well maintained and fun.
Cozy place and comfortable.
We will be back.
I stayed here with my Mom, kids, brother and his wife. The suite was beautiful, and we had access to their pond and hot tub. I assumed it would be the full home because I booked through VRBO, but the home owners live upstairs. I slept in the bunk bed room with my kids, but my Mom said it was really loud in her room with people walking around upstairs in the evening and morning. Otherwise stunning location and home.
