We rented this VRBO as a place for our family of seven adults to stay and host another 20 extended family members for a family celebration. This place was absolutely perfect. The grounds are lovely and our dogs didn’t want to leave. The place was so clean and cozy - even decorated for the holidays! There is everything you could need for a peaceful, enjoyable get together. If we are ever in need of a larger group place to stay in Victoria we will absolutely stay here. A real find!

We stayed at the lake house over Christmas. Jonathon met us at the house when we checked in, gave us all the details we needed. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The log fire was a treat and kept the whole house cosy. The grounds are very well kept and a great place for our dog to run around. The walk along the lake trail was beautiful and so easy to access! We especially appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations, made it a perfect place to relax with our family over the holidays. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this VRBO, thanks so much 😊

We had an amazing time at Jonathan's property for our corporate retreat this year. Jonathan was very communicative, friendly and accommodating. The space was very clean and the kitchen was useful for preparing snacks and meals. The forest on the property is beautiful, and having the lake so close was a great feature. Lots of parking and outdoor space. It is a ways from downtown, so we had a designated driver for one of the nights. There are stores a short drive away to get groceries etc.

What a great place to stay! Close to Butchart Gardens, downtown Victoria and ferries, yet it feels quiet and secluded. The lake was so fun to swim in and the property was beautiful. We even saw deer right in the yard. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything thing we needed. There was plenty of space for our family of 6. Jonathan was quick to respond to messages and had great recommendations. We loved our stay here and hope to visit again.

The property is beautiful with many areas for times of gathering or quiet spaces. The 6 miles trail around Elk lake is great. The deer visiting in the evening are a joy to watch.

We had a wonderful time at this property. We spent most of our time outside in the great seating areas. All the rooms worked very well for the four of us. We cooked our meals and the kitchen had everything you could need. The host gave us a great tour around at the beginning. For those who like walking, the Elk/Beaver trail is just at the end of the property. We spent part of one day driving around the Peninsula visiting farm stands and markets. A great place for a get-away - thanks Jonathan!

After the Initial check in of the property(which is usually comfortable and easy), The owner insisted on meeting me at the property and showing me around. Even though it clearly states in the listing that no contact check-in, check out would happen. As a single lady with kids, it was a very unusual check in and made me feel really uncomfortable, especially when he blocked my path out of the kitchen. I was initially booked for 3 people(me and two kids) I ended up calling my sister to come stay with me for comfort and safety. There are no window coverings on of the bedrooms or bathrooms. There are several cameras throughout the property, 9 that we found, including sensors on all the doors. Some cameras facing inwards to the house and several facing an every angle of the property. Every move you make is accounted for and watched by the owner. No dishwashing soap, no laundry detergent, no garbage bags, dirty floors (we literally had to wash our feet twice the first day), musty smelling basement and bedding, crusty towels.Wifi was sufficient. Location of property was good, has lake access but is a pretty far walk through the wooded area and no beach unless you walk down the path to the Elk Lake park. Property definitely has potential, however it was not a comfortable experience for me. There was no welcome book or instructions on how to navigate the home.

We booked the place to host my mom's 95th birthday party with all her children and grand-children. It was perfect for this. On one day we hosted a little celebration with family and friends joining for a little while. It worked really well for this. There were lots of various spaces for people to gather in both inside and outside. It was a short walk to the beach with easy access to walking trails. A large yard for playing games in. We pretty well lived outside and there was lots of spaces to sit and gather and lots to do! We are thinking of making it an annual event!
