Quiet retreat

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!

Heavenly Sooke

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.

2 days on the Galloping Goose!

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.

Spring at The Station

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!
