We love this location. Absolutely everything you need for a comfortable home away from home. Amazing access to the galloping goose trails. Fire pit is always a hit! We will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Peaceful and accessible to great hiking trails. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for, especially the evening campfire and the fire station tour.
Everything about our stay was excellent. The property and location were perfect. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in the Sooke area.
What a great little spot, so nice and quiet, a wonderful place to relax and enjoy morning coffee on the deck. The space is excellent and laid out well. We really liked the place and the fire station themed wood working was very impressive. Hands down, I would stay here again!
Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Laura and Steven. The suite is modern, clean, and comfortable, and the property is beautiful. So quiet! Hosts are very accommodating and easy to communicate with. This was our second stay, and we won't hesitate to return!
The place was easy to locate and check in was seamless! Place was clean and neat and just what we needed for our little getaway. Love that we could also bring our dog!
Staying at Laura's was so comfortable and lovely. The access to the Goose can't be beat. I was close to all the hiking spots I wanted to visit. The symphony of ravens was a treat, and I even got to see a bear on the trail! Highly recommend for casual comfort, pleasant hosts, and fresh air and long walks.

The property was absolutely beautiful . So nice to be able to just walk right out to the galloping goose. The place is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had a very nice relaxing stay .
space was exactly as described.
clean and well stocked with everything we needed. plus the access to the trail for our pup was the best!
would say here again for sure.
host was lovely and helpful and quick to answer any questions.
Two old Ladies who used to cycle on the Galloping Goose spent two very comfortable days at Laura's apartment. This was ideal from our point of view with fully appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds, and lovely view of the garden at the end of which was the trail. It is close to downtown Sooke, which has a good grocery store and restaurants. The building itself has solar panels which serve the electrical needs of the apartment.. We were very happy with our choice of accommodation.
We had a great time at The Station. A great place to cook and rest after playing and exploring the island. Lovely to be right on the Galloping Goose trail.
Thanks Laura and Stephen for being great hosts.
Jane and family!
