Great hosts, great property

Megan and her husband went above and beyond to make our winter stay a hit. From shoveling the driveway to lighting the hot tub for us, nothing but positive reviews

Week stay

Impeccable cottage, great hot tub, quiet. The only suggestion would be new mattresses. Otherwise, excellent experience with a kind and accomodating property manager.

Perfect Getaway House

We loved the house so much! The neighbors were friendly deer and rabbits. The beds were extraordinarily comfy. We enjoyed the hot tub under shooting stars and had a lovely visit from Sherlock too…

Relaxing and refreshing

My friend was visiting from TX and we planned a girls get away. The house was prefect with 2 bedrooms a living room, dining room, deck and patio. There was a heat wave, so Meg provided a portable AC unit which kept the house cool. We toured the Island visiting Sooke, Victoria and Nanaimo and places in-between. We went down to the Marina in the morning for coffee and found many delicious restaurants for dinners. It is a perfect location to relax and enjoy nature.

Metchosin 2 night stop

A bit more remote than expected. Recommend driving to Sooke for restaurants. Very private location but lots of road noise during the day and evening. Quiet through the night though. Did not use the hot tub but did make a campfire one evening. Star gazing was good. Cabin is modern and comfortable. Stay here if you’re looking for a quiet hideaway.

Beautiful Stay!

We all really loved this place a lot. It felt like home away from home. Super easy to find with great check-in instructions. Easy to operate amenities and very nice views of the surroundings. Would absolutely recommend this place!

The perfect getaway

We had the perfect stay at the cottage in Metchosin. It had everything we needed and more. It was tastefully decorated, well maintained, and made for a very comfortable vacation. The property was beautiful, with great views and tall trees. One morning we even had a visit right out front from a deer and her fawn. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and communicated well with us before and during our stay to ensure everything went smoothly. The cottage was child-friendly, and included all the amenities needed for us and our toddler. It was a well-balanced location between Victoria and other destinations. A few of our favourite close excursions included the tide pools at Witty’s beach (look up tide charts online), the food at My Chosen Cafe (and the petting zoo), and a walk along the Coburg peninsula. We also enjoyed the hike to Mystic Beach, eating at Red Fish Blue Fish in the Victoria harbour, as well as many other adventures. Our stay was great, and we hope one day to return for more. We highly recommend this as the perfect place to enjoy all the island has to offer.

A breath of fresh air

11/10!!! Perfect location if you want to go hiking or day trips into Victoria. Listening to the birds in the morning on the patio with a coffee was absolutely magical. Meg gave us local recommendations which were amazing! I will definitely be back :) Great for fires, very clean, friendly host, lots of privacy!

About the host

Hosted by Meg

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Meg. I am a Registered Nurse and my husband is a CAF Veteran. We fell in love with island life and moved to Metchosin two years! Like you, we enjoy travelling and have stayed at many different accommodations. We wanted to create a special place to explore the beautiful west coast. We are so excited to welcome you to our little retreat!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a home to put deep roots to raise our family. We appreciate the value of locally grown food and hope to start a small hobby farm in the future. We adore the slower pace of life in Metchosin; always surrounded by birds singing and plenty of wildlife.

What makes this property unique

There are so many beautiful places to explore year round. We enjoy walking to Matheson lake for a swim in the summer, or stroll down the Galloping Goose. Hiking is endless nearby with beaches (one of our favourites is 5 minutes away; Taylor Beach), waterfalls and trails. East Sooke Park - Iron Mine Bay and Coastal trail are some of our favourites!
