Amazing and restful stay

Suite was even better than described. The grounds were so beautiful - lots of space to spread out and congregate outdoors. There is another suite onsite in addition to the owners’ house but you can be in separate areas if you want privacy. The flowers were beautiful down by the pond and we saw lots of wildlife. The pond and grounds were so relaxing, I wish we could have stayed longer. We would absolutely love to come back and stay longer next time.

About the host

Hosted by Jo-Ann & Rob Kevala

Host profile image
Hi, we are Rob and Jo-Ann Kevala. We are both semi-retired now and enjoy life on this amazing 10 acre property. Never a shortage of gardening! We love dogs and have two of our own on the property. We welcome visitors with their own pets. Our goal in opening Hidden Pond was to share this amazing property with other amazing people and provide a luxury option for people who want to travel with their own pets.

Why they chose this property

Hidden Pond became a reality in 2020. As we began to develop our property and build trails through the forest we found an amazing spring-fed pond hidden in the woods. Alot of landscaping and a year of work we spent reclaiming this pond from the wild. Today it is the home of a private beach, pergola and where we spend our summer and winter months

What makes this property unique

Hidden Pond is a unique retreat. Often people come planning to visit Victoria and Metchosin, then find the pond and don't leave the property for their stay. Whether you choose to relax in the hot tub, sit on the beach, wander the forest trails on the property, play with your pet in the orchard or warm your toes at the firepit in the evenings you won't find a more relaxing getaway.

This suite an also be booked to ajoin with our Hidden Pond 2 bedroom family suite. VRBO listing for our sister suite is:
https://www.vrbo.com/en-ca/cottage-rental/p9671362?uni_id=8753646
We operate as both a Bed and Breakfast and vacation rental so lots of options for your stay.
