Wonderful Stay!

Our family stayed here during spring break, and it felt like a breath of fresh air being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life! The home is wonderfully decorated and was well-equipped for all our needs. The location is truly gorgeous and it is so, so peaceful being up in the treetops. The property is also conveniently close to hiking trails, which is what we spent majority of our time doing. We really appreciated the addition of a dog bed and dog bowls. Would definitely recommend and we hope to be back again!

Lovely stay amongst the trees

Really enjoyed staying in the suite. Surrounded by forest and lots of wildlife. It was quiet and peaceful. Loved being able to have our own patio area with comfortable chairs around a fire pit. Suite itself was very well built, very clean and nicely decorated. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable and enjoyable getaway. We were able to go on a nice hike in the Gowland Todd provincial park which was about 5 minutes away and also find dog friendly restaurants close by.

An ideal place to relax with a pet. Quiet enough to enjoy birdsong and wind in the tree tops. The hosts are incredibly responsive and clearly put a lot of thought into making the place well appointed for humans as well as pets. Highly recommend. The only caveat is well outside the control of the hosts- traffic on the highway.

Beautiful clean property with a great location. Close too many homes and central to doing excursions, close to Victoria and Sooke. Lance is extremely helpful with tips on the area and quick to respond if you need help with anything. Would recommend and will be going back if I'm ever in the area again!

Relax in the Highlnds

Beautiful relaxing 'home away from home'. Tastefully decorated with all the amenities you may need. The drive was absolutely beautiful to this location and the property was very quiet and you're surrounded by natue. Very relaxing. Would highly reccommend!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Highlands. This was the perfect way to relax after staying right in the middle of everything in downtown Victoria. We had a nice hike up to the Jocelyn lookout in Gowlland Tod Park as well. Great spot. Thanks.

Great home away from home!

Me and my pup had such an amazing stay in the Highlands! We had to find a place for a month while our house underwent some restoration and this place really was such a beautiful home away from home. Thanks to the hosts, this stressful time felt like a vacation. They were great communicators and the place had everything we could have ever needed! Thank you for opening up this place!

Great place to stay. Our pups had a difficult time, there was no grassy areas, and tree sap (pitch) on walkway was quite messy. Maybe consider putting up an A frame
