Home away from home
Mikes property is fantastic. Very private and secure. My wife and our dog stayed, our dog had an incredible fully fenced area and the cottage itself is really cozy, modern, clean and has many awesome amenities. This location is filled with nature walking trails, horth hill is a great near by large park within walking distance. Also worth mentioning there are horses, wineries and many farms and farm stands near by. It is such a relaxing area to stay in. Mike is a very friendly, respectful and easy going host, we enjoyed chatting with him while he’s headed to his wood working shop on the weekends. All around great guy and we really enjoyed getting to know him. All in all it’s truly a home away from home. We felt very comfortable and would 10/10 recommend!

Private quiet cabin
Micheal was quick to respond to our inquiry and we booed immediately after our questions were answered. The place is well equipped with the basic necessities and very clean throughout. It is dog friendly and rural which was nice for the family. We will certainly look to book again! This is such a great place! Shh don’t tell anyone!

Perfect location
I stayed with my dog and two exchange students. It was perfect for me with lots of trails to explore and near the ocean. Was able to paddleboard in a few nearby bays and it’s a short drive to Sidney. Michael, the host, was friendly and helpful. I would stay here again

A Cozy Retreat in North Saanich for Pet-Friendly Getaways
My spouse and I had a wonderful two-night stay at this charming North Saanich property. From the get-go, our host, Mike, was incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring a pleasant experience. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house was spacious and comfortable. The master bedroom, with its incredibly cozy bed and heated mattress, made for a luxurious night's sleep. The fully equipped kitchen was a highlight, eliminating the need to bring our own supplies. Cleanliness was impeccable, reflecting the care taken to maintain a pristine environment. The rural location provided a peaceful escape, yet the property was only a short 7-minute drive from the ferry, combining tranquility with convenience. Being pet owners, we appreciated the pet-friendly atmosphere. The dogs on the property were a non-issue and been able to bring 2 dogs was the main factor in choosing the property in the first place. The surrounding area was perfect for dog walks, adding to the overall appeal. Our experience was extremely positive and we would like stay again. This property, with its welcoming host, comfortable amenities, and pet-friendly environment, stands out as an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommended for those seeking a homey retreat with all the comforts one could wish for. Can't wait to come back for another memorable stay!
