Lovely property and amazing backyard. We arrived at night and it felt like a little oasis. Hot tub was absolutely perfect! Amenities were good in regards to the coffee machine, TV and ability to control the heat. Just be careful of the bed posts in the master room, my husband and I both stubbed our toes multiple times as they stick out. But likely more of an an us problem

This beautiful gem is perfectly located at Shawnigan Lake, approximately 30 min from downtown Victoria. This property comes fully equipped with a kitchen, BBQ, king size bed, patio, and a hot tub. And of course, Ruby the Doodle is an extra addition to the full suite of amenities, offering security, taste testing, and companionship. We really enjoyed staying at this property and we would recommend this home away from home to anyone! Thank you Sylvain!!!

Short get away

The house and yard are exactly as described. The suite was so comfortable and spacious. The flowers were just starting to come up but I’m sure they look as great as the pics show once fully bloomed. We got to enjoy the hot tub for a few nights and the outdoor fire table when the weather prevented us to relax in the tub. Ruby was the best co-host anyone could ask for. Sweet, cuddly, playful and funny are just a few words to describe this amazing pup. We looked forward to all her visits, especially the morning ones. Would definitely stay here again.

The perfect suite!

The indoor space was so cozy and bright with lots of windows and an eclectic fireplace. The outdoor space was spacious and beautiful. We love dogs and every morning Ruby came to greet us. The weather wasn't ideal while we visited but looking forward to going back when the sun is out.

A Relaxing Stay with Our Dogs in the Oasis

We, a party of three with dogs had a great stay. The house had everything we need for a 2-day stay. The courtyard setting had a great ambiance, very welcoming and relaxing, just like in the pictures. What I enjoyed most is having my dog lying on one side and Ruby, the house dog, on the other side with me, listening to the soothing flow of water cascading from the fountain next to us. That’s my version of a mini vacation ! Thank you Sylvain and Ruby, the best four-legged hostess!

Enjoyed our stay. Great amenities, we used the bbq, hot tub & yard was big & fenced. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to use the outdoor space which included a fire table & a outdoor covered seating area looked really nice. Hopefully, next time when the weather is warmer. Host was kind & we would definitely stay here again.

Family Visit

Great communication for our stay. Pictures are accurate and exactly as posted. Hot tub, barbeque, outdoor fire & comfy couches on the covered deck are bonus. Sylvain & Karen were available for any questions when needed. Of course sweet Ruby is an added bonus - esp for our pup who eagerly waited to see her come down the stairs. Def hoping to return again when visiting family in the area. Thank you Sylvain, Karen & Ruby!
