We had an incredible time staying at the guest house - it was the perfect place to land after a long day of travelling from P.E.I.It was clean, homey and felt like our own private getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this place. The hosts have thought of everything for a comfortable get-away. The location is perfect as it is close to numerous hiking trails but still only a short distance to Langford or downtown Victoria. We will definitely be back again.

Grad Trip

My friends and I went on our first solo trip and Matheson Lake Guest House was such a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed being a bit more removed and having the quiet surroundings, and having the dogs greet us every time we drove in! The place was very clean and the kitchen was well supplied.

Beautiful Property!

We had such a great time! The 'Tree House' was clean, cozy, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need. The location was ideal, offering both seclusion and a quick drive down the driveway to the lake. The outdoor space was a highlight, with a patio and hot tub area.

Our chilled Treetop Week

Wonderful property in a quiet location in the trees. So relaxing and welcoming. Our hosts, Amanda and Dave were lovely and very helpful in suggesting great places for us to visit that suited our interests. Wished we could have stayed longer than the week we booked. No hesitation in recommending this property.

Great spot

Out of town but not too far. Quiet and relaxing. Seemed like being upstairs above the owner and having the hot tub close to their part of the house would be odd but it was fine. Very nice vibe all of the natural wood.

Immaculate tree top apartment

We have had 2 weeks touring around Vancouver Island and this was our last stop. Everything about the place has a relaxed and comfortable vibe with the added bonus of being spotlessly clean and equipped with absolutely everything you could need. This is a great location for exploring the area to the West of Victoria, but was also great for visiting Malahat and Shawnigan Lake, only 40 minutes away. It was the perfect place to round off the end of our holiday, thank you both

Countryside Getaway

We are visiting family and wanted to get away for the weekend with our children and grandkids. This place is in the country area, which is what we love. The guest house which we stayed was perfect, beautiful decor, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen with all the utensils you need. There is an outside fire ring for you to build your own fire. There is also an ax there to split your own firewood as well as make your own kindling wood to start with. Beautiful views, beautiful grounds and property.

Thank you Amanda and Dave! We loved our time at the house! It was a perfect way to relax and recharge being surrounded by the trees. We were able to swim and hike at Matheson Lake and explore the Juan de Fuca beaches. It is also super close to the galloping goose trail for amazing bike rides for the family. We loved every detail in the home, it has a fully stocked kitchen for making meals at home. We highly recommend it.

Lake Matheson Mystic

Our family of 4 adults and our dog enjoyed a wonderful stay with Ananda & Dave. They were terrific hosts, very accommodating. Their 2 bedroom property is well layed out and very well stocked with the essentials. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. We used the hot tub, hiked around the lake and cooked some terrific meals. I would recommend this very unique property to anyone. Thank you Amanda and Dave.
