Modern Carriage House on 5 Wooded Acres
About this house rental
Situated in Southern Gulf Islands, this lovely house for $128 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. The modern Carriage House sleeps four comfortably. There is a queen Bed in the master and two singles in the second bedroom. A full stainless steal kitchen is ready for Gourmet meals with fresh BC fruit and vegetables bought from the farmers markets or sea food bought directly from the fisherman's boat. A wood burning stove in the living space is wonderful to cozy up to in the evenings and enjoy a glass of wine or a good book. A covered balcony over looking the beautiful property is the perfect place for your morning coffee and evening cocktail . Sitting on the deck down at the pond you may see an abundance of wildlife. Deer, fish, blue heron, bald eagles, mink, and numerous feather friends have been spotted many times. Certain times of the year the pond is nice to swim in . If you are up for a challenging hike, the property backs onto a lush undisturbed forested area with a beautiful creek. You may be able to make the short hike up the stream to the small water fall, but you are going to get wet.

Absolutely loved our stay at Cedar Hollows. Felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We were travelling with our toddler (3) and baby (8months), and it was perfect for us! Tara was ways quick to respond and a fantastic host. The property is beautiful and our toddler loved watching the goats and having a wander around the pond every day. Kitchen was incredibly well equipped with everything we needed and super cozy beds. 100% recommend!!

Very private and well stocked with everything you need, great location, wonderful hosts. The property is quite large and very well maintained, the hosts accommodated EV charging at no extra costs. The property is in a farm setting yet the air is very clean with no bugs at all or extra noises. Thank you for the hospitality, will come back.

A true oasis. Great property and great hosts.
Inside, the flat is modern, very comfortable and well appointed. Outside is a serene environment, perfect for strolls by the pond or to visit with the goats. The balcony, overlooking the garden and forest, is a perfect place to relax.

This place was excellent! The lodging was comfortable and felt like home away from home. The location is great as it’s out of the city but close enough to most locations on mid and South Island. The owners were great and the property is lovely. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We found Cedar Hollow to be very charming and comfortable with everything we needed. The property was lovely and made for a very relaxed holiday. It was easy to find our way around and would love to visit again. We also want to thank Jamie for his recommendation on whale watching. We went to Ocean Ecoventure In Cowichan Bay and had a wonderful experience with a captain that was very knowledgeable who made it fun and educational.

Great spot, perfect for our family of 4!
Cedar Hollow was such a fantastic spot for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers) while we were in the Victoria/Cowichan area. The house was exactly as described and it was great to have a full kitchen, good sized bedrooms and a nice sitting area.
We went all over the place in our 5 days in the area and everything was really easy to get to because of the location of the house - Victoria, Sooke, Langford, Cowichan, Salt Spring, etc...nothing was too far away.
If we are ever back on the island and in the area, Cedar Hollow will definitely be our go to spot to stay!

Perfect escape from the city.
My family and I stayed in the Carriage house while attending a weeks worth of family wedding events in Saanich and Victoria. Although we were about 30-40 minutes away from our events, it was well worth the drive. The cottage was a perfect getaway from the busyness of Victoria and gave us something to look forward to at the end of our busy, wedding event filled days. The views were outstanding including thick woods, flowers, deer, horses and goats. The owners of the home did not engage with us unless we sought them out which made the rental feel even more private. The house was cool despite the hot summer climate and the deck was, by far, my favorite place to be; in the morning with my coffee and in the evening with my glass of wine. We will certainly consider this location again when we return to Canada.

Cosy carriage house on a lovely property
Our family really enjoyed staying at the carriage house. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully functioned for breakfast and dinners. It was nice to be able to wash our laundry before we left. Beautiful property. We saw deer in the yard every day we were there. And would enjoy a nightly coffee on the balcony. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Only downfall for us was the TV has very little channels. Which wasn't bad for us, but for our young daughter when we were cooking supper it would have been nice. Overall a nice property and Tara and Jaimie were great to deal with.

Fantastic!
My family of 4 (2 kids 11 & 9 yrs old) & I had a wonderful stay. The carriage house was comfortable, well equipped & impeccably clean. Tara & Jamie were friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcome. My boys enjoyed checking out the goats & horses & the freedom to check out this beautiful rural property. We enjoyed visiting a few of the local wineries & lakes. We would highly recommend staying at this property & to anyone who asked.

The property is clean and new. It had everything we needed.
We ended up staying an additional night because it was so nice there, and there is so much to do in the area. We could have stayed two weeks and still not experienced all that is available. Hopefully we can stay again soon.

Perfect location; perfect hosts
This is such a beautiful property and our hosts, Tara and Jamie, couldn't have been more welcoming. The carriage house had everything we could ask for and the surrounding property was perfect for a relaxing stay. We even had a very friendly encounter with the goats and horses. We will definitely return to the island and we would time our visit based on the availability of Cedar Hollow.

Such a charming place to stay!
My wife and I stayed there for a week while on our house hunting trip. The place was super clean and welcoming. It’s the perfect little getaway. It was really lovely to have a coffee on the deck and just enjoy the nature and animals around. I would 100% recommend Tara & Jamie’s carriage house!
The washer and dryer and dishwasher was an added bonus too!

Felt like home. Very quiet, peaceful country side.
Jamie and Tara are great hosts and made it feel like home. We enjoyed the very well equipped carriage house, and woodstove. The farm was quiet, and the scenery was beautiful. Enjoyed watching the wildlife stroll through, and the farm animals. We loved how close the parks and beaches were from their place. If the carriage house is well equipped then in our opinion we felt that the mattress could use an upgrade.

Beautiful, modern, cozy little carriage house
Clean and comfortable carriage house on an acreage on Shawnigan-Mill Bay Rd. A short drive to Mill Bay, Kerry Park, and the Trans Canada Highway. About a 5 min drive into Shawnigan Lake. Plenty of parking and easy access.

Fantastic relaxing holiday
This property has everything you need. It’s clean and very well maintained. It is set in beautiful grounds that you are free to explore at your leisure and there are some woodland walks close by and an abundance of wildlife to admire. Tara and Jamie are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble any problems however small are dealt with immediately. You are about a 5 min drive from the Mill Bay Centre and 20mins from Duncan. We stayed for three weeks could of stayed for three months. definitely recommend

We stayed at Tara's place for 4 nights. It is a separate guess house on the 17 acre lot next to the owner's mansion. The place is spotless and everything is brand new. Bed are very comfortable. We loved to walk around the huge back yard and enjoyed the pond, swing and beautiful trees surrounding the garden. We also enjoyed interacting with Tara and her family. My kids loved playing with her son. The outdoor spa is also very nice. I will come back any time on our future vacation!!!!

It was so nice staying by your carriage house! It was beautiful, comfortable, and a luxurious home to stay in. It was a perfect relaxing getaway- Just what we needed! We loved the lounge chairs to relax in while reading or watching a movie! The top of the line hot tub was a wonderful extra. Tara and Jamie were so accommodating and easy to work with.We hope to stay again in the future as well (next time for longer!)

The Carriage House is beautifully decorated, very tasteful and thoughtfully equipped! The linens were clean and ample! The property was well maintained and included a goat, a couple of horses to watch, a firepit, fish pond, hot tub, BBQ.
We appreciated the coffee, tea, spices, Brita water jug, all left for our enjoyment.
We slept well ... It was peaceful and great fun to awaken to the fawns playing the yard! The Roku television was a learning curve but we successfully watched several great movies during the evening!
The pictures on the VRBO site reflect the property well! The hostess and her family are warm and welcoming and we enjoyed our interactions with them.
We absolutely would recommend this property to family and friends!
We loved being close to our family but we loved having our own retreat to return to after our visiting!
Mill Bay offers an amazing grocery store, Thrifty's. We shopped daily for our eats! There are a couple of wineries close, one with spectacular food serve (Wed - Sat) ..both offering tastings. Shawnigan Lake is not far and we loved the Oma Bakery and coffee shop next door. We enjoyed two meals at the Mill Bay marina restaurant (lunch, dinner) and some playtime at Bamberton beach. We used the Brentwood Bay - Mill Bay ferry coming and going from the Victoria airport as we enjoyed the short trip on the water.
