Peaceful and quiet!

We really enjoyed our stay at the guest house! It was quiet and peaceful and I loved listening to the frogs and birds outside. The hot tub was great and we used it every day. It was a quick drive into Metchosin which was lovely and everyone was so friendly! The space was large and welcoming, and the big couch in the living room was great! The beds were uncomfortable, though, and there were windows between the bedrooms and the living room, which let in light even when the bedroom lights were off. Most of the space was clean but the coffee machine had old grounds and water in it and the bedroom fan was very dusty. Some of the dishes and utensils were also dirty and we had to wash them before use. Overall though it was a lovely place to stay and the hosts were very communicative and kind!

College friends get away

Three college friends from the 70s got away to Vancouver island and REALLY enjoyed our stay. The lovely home, built built by the family who were so friendly, was nestled in a beautiful woody area. It had an awesome hot tub, super comfy beds, nice living area to visit and have our appetizers. It was especially wonderful to be away from the hustle and bustle of city-life and enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest. Seeing the fog roll across the mountains in the morning was delightful.

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.

Peaceful retreat

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful, homey, cabin. The large back porch overlooking the woods was great for enjoying meals. Amanda and David were ideal hosts with the perfect balance of friendliness, kindness, and respect for our privacy. It was not clear from the listing that the unit is on the second floor or that the road up to the house is quite long and steep. Unfortunately, this isn’t an ideal location for someone with limited mobility.

Awesome place, but...

The accommodations were quite nice, Felt a bit uncomfortable with the owners downstairs. Afraid to make too much noise walking, etc. Never went into the hot tub because it was outside their bedroom. At 10 pm, when I really wanted to enjoy it after an exhausting day at our conference, I instead had to fill the bathtub. Felt guilty using that much water.

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.

Perfect setting

Outstanding property and hosts, the space worked perfectly for our family of five. If you’re looking for country seclusion, this is it, with an easy commute to all the fun activities. Lake or ocean beaches minutes away, Victoria a nice little scenic drive. We stayed for 10 days and do not have a single negative item to list. Quiet, clean and perfect. Easy communication with the hosts Amanda and Brad made our extended stay a perfect family getaway.

A perfect place to land on the West Coast

We traveled as a family of 5 to BC for the first time and were lucky to stay at Dave and Amandas when we first arrived. It is the upper floor of their main house and it is lovely, quiet, private and very comfortable. The views are amazing which you can see from the front or back deck. We had everything we needed to make meals and they even have puzzles and games we enjoyed. There is a hot tub which was such a nice place to enjoy the view. We also made use of the outdoor fire pit. Amanda and Dave were both so helpful and kind to our kids which was a bonus :) Would go back any time! Rent it you won't regret it.

Beautiful! Comfotable! Everything we needed!

Most importantly the beds were very comfortable! The place had lots of room, a great couch for stretching out on and a fully stocked kitchen. The owners, Dave and Amanda, were friendly and helpful. They chatted with us about the local biking trails and they went above and beyond by getting a bikerack for when we arrived. They also had a selection of games and a couple of puzzles we could do on rainy days. The grounds have interesting things and places to look or sit at, including a deck off the back of the guest suite. Note: The guest suite is up a flight of stairs so if you have mobility issues this may not be for you.
