Whether you are staying to relax and rejuvenate, to enjoy some good laughs with a friend, or to romance a loved one, the Serenity Cabin has a little something for everyone.

Located in the beautiful municipality of Metchosin, the Serenity Cabin is central to various hiking trails, sandy beaches, an abundance of nature appreciation, and borders Matheson Lake Park.

Drive or walk down to the lake to enjoy the spectacular scenery. As well as hiking, biking, trout fishing, canoeing/kayaking, and swimming. If you are looking to dine out MyChosen Café and MyChosen Pizza are only minutes away.

Just around the corner is Pedder Bay Marina, known for its world class fishing grounds. Enjoy a Starbucks coffee, alcoholic beverage and a bite to eat while watching the boats go by. Also offering power boat rentals, kayaking, and fishing charters if you're looking to spend time out on ocean.

The interior has that rustic West Coast feel with lots of wood features and accents. Accommodates four comfortably, with an open concept living area with pullout sectional couch and large bedroom with a king size bed. The space is completely furnished, has a fully equipped kitchen, full bath, and wood burning fireplace. Head outdoors where you will find the patio area, offering a private hot tub and outdoor shower, fire pit, seating area and BBQ.

The cell service is a little hit and miss but there is WIFI for you to link to. There is parking for multiple vehicles or trailer. We do allow smoking outdoors but have strict rules. There is no cable TV but there is a streaming device and movies.

During the hotter months campfires are not allowed. A propane fire pit is provided but unfortunately the propane is not. We do provide a tank but it would be up to the guest to have it exchanged for a full one at our local corner store.

A wagon load of wood is provided for the indoor fireplace. We have large bins of firewood in the shed for $20. E-transfer is preferred for payment, the email address is located on the fridge. Please send a quick message and we will respond with the lock box code.

We are pet friendly but ask that you respect our rules. There is an extra fee of $30/pet, ***please add this fee when booking. All pets have to be kept in close proximity (not free to roam) or on leash when outside. We ask that you use the shovel provided to flick into the bushes. We really dislike having to handle left behind bagged dog poop.

FABULOUS

The property was absolutely perfect for our stay. Very secluded and peaceful but close enough to for whatever we wanted to do. Walking around the lake Matheson or East Sooke Park, going to My Chosen Café for lunch or Pizza and shopping in Langford or Victoria. The house was very comfortable and warm and the fireplace was great. We made good use of the BBQ and Hot Tub. The Hosts were very friendly and helpful. All in all, a great week and we will be back.

A little slice of heaven

A beautiful, tranquille and serene spot. Most times you could hear nothing but the sound of wind in the trees. The hot tub was used a lot! Clear instructions for everything. Very comfy king bed and kitchen was well stocked with basics. We would absolutely return in a heartbeat 💓

Perfect in every way for our stay

We commented to each other at the end of our stay that this is perfect for our family of 4 for our 3 night visit. The rental filled all our needs and the hot tub was popular. Everything is in excellent condition. We hope to return again next year.

A little piece of Heaven!

My partner and I spent two wonderful nights here and wish we could’ve stayed longer! The cabin was cozy, very well appointed, there was firewood ready for a rainy night of staying indoors. The bed was comfy and the sheets were ultra soft. The entire cabin was spotless and the hot tub was a nice way to start and end the day…even in the rain! If you want an excellent getaway this is the place. Pack your swimsuit, some cozy clothes, some food and the rest is taken care of!

Stay at Mechosen

I enjoyed the hot tub during my chilly stay. The barbecue was great too. Not so sure about the yard art. (I’m really not into old rusting car carcasses.) otherwise the stay was good.

A hidden gem in the woods.

A tidy, bright large cabin and yard allowing/patio allowing dining in or out. Fire pit, bbq and hot tub available. All this in a private quiet area to relax and inviting outdoor options near by. We highly recommend this location.

So Peaceful!

Loved the privacy and cleanliness of the guesthouse! There were lots of nice touches and everything was very comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the wood stove, especially to warm up on chilly nights! It was nicely located, lots to do nearby in terms of nature and a cute little restaurant! The only improvement I would say is it would be nice to have a few more towels provided! Other than that we loved it and would for sure come again!

Beautiful spot with great privacy

If there is a complaint about this place, it's that she made it hard to have a complaint. It is a beautiful spot with wonderful privacy. The neighbors are far enough away that they stay out of site. The outside area is set up for a campfire and a hot tub. The location is far enough for a beautiful area and close enough to the area you don't have to drive far to get to anything. We happened to go during the coldest time, so we didnt get to enjoy the fire or hot tub outside. At 15 degrees F, we are wimps. The cabin is a quaint 1 bedroom home with a full kitchen. Great if you want to cook, in which my wife loves cooking. The living room is large and cozy with plenty of space. Overall, the cabin is cute and cozy. I do have to warn that the floor is hardwood and really cold in the winter. Bring warm socks. The heat takes time to warm the house, but does great in keeping it warm. She does have 2 tv's, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. Easy set up and easy to use. Only complaint is that the tv's are small. But if thats all there is, we could live with that. The cabin was very clean when we arived. No pet hair, no dust, dishes and bedsheets definitely clean. Bathroom was also very clean. One of the best things about this rental was the communication. Our host was very accomodating and answered any inquiry very quickly. There were never any problems if we had questions. She also gave us a couple places to visit that we took advantage of. I definitely will return.

Such a Gem!

My partner and I have been looking for a cabin in the woods for ages and this was the perfect one. Far enough away from things that we had all the privacy we wanted, yet close enough that driving to grab a latte and snacks was a breeze. We both can't wait to come back!

Cosy, cute & comfy hideaway near beautiful Matheson Lake & galloping goose trail

We loved this cosy and very well looked after cabin hidden away in a forest next to a lake. The cabin had all the comforts we wanted and the peace & quiet we hoped for. Even a fan for the hot summer evenings! We can’t wait to come back.

The perfect relaxing break!

We wanted a last minute getaway for the Canada long weekend and we could not have been more thrilled. This place was so perfectly set up to relax and had a well stocked kitchen. The hot tub was amazing and it was beautiful to relax there. We will definitely be back and could not recommend this place more!

Perfect Place for a Getaway!

House is beautiful, wonderfully decorated, super cozy , and had everything one could need! The hosts even had a fire going when we arrived, such a nice touch. It is a perfect place to get away and relax! It’s far enough away from the city, but still close enough to take a trip in to sightsee or just go wander! Thank you for the amazing property Dave and Amanda! I hope to return in the near future! -Jackie

Great Metchosin vacation spot

Located close to a number of great regional parks, and very close to the Galloping Goose trail, so bring your bicycles. Loved the old vehicles which hosts Amanda and Dave call "yard art". Made good use of the hot tub and both the indoor fireplace and the outdoor fireplace. This location is also great if one wants to zip into Victoria for a day (e.g., visit Munro's Books) or visit Hartley Castle (for the X-Men fans). We plan to stay there again!
