Cozy getaway

Cozy home from which to explore Sooke and points west. It was pouring almost all the time we were there but there are still beaches to explore (Whiffen Spit is amazing), and the Sooke Brewery has a heated / covered outdoor space that is child- and dog-friendly. In the evening, the sauna and 2-person hot tub can warm you up even if the weather isn't cooperating!

The Owls, Old Womem Laughing Society., enjoyed their stay in this , quiet, comfortable, log cabin.

Quiet, most of the traffic passing by were people walking their dogs. Comfortable, any problems with the sleeping accommodations were due to individual aging conditions.The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed our meals in an alcove just off the kitchen, so easy to prepare and serve meals. We enjoyed our evenings discussing books and catching up in the comfortable living room in front of the fireplace. We were not able to enjoy the lovely backyard and amities due to the weather. Highly recommend this place.

Really good value!

I have stayed at many places all over Vancouver island, but this one was one of the better experiences and is very good value for the money. The soaker tub outside, the sauna, the outdoor fire pit, and robes made it extra cozy and special. I will book again for aure!

Beautiful log home. Great location.

A modern, yet rustic log cabin home. Very cozy with private back yard. Just a couple of blocks from the Sooke boardwalk and a two minute drive to shops, restaurants, and a high-speed EV charger. Five minutes from Whiffen Spit. The property manager made sure we were comfortable and that we had everything to make our stay a pleasant one. Would highly recommend.

We had a good time. Very clean. Plenty of amenity. Bathrobes were great. Wished bedrooms were a little bigger. Blind in one of the bed rooms did not close. Tub outside was nice but not enough hot warren to fill it. Overall we had a great time. Thank you.

Great West Coast Stay

Michelles Log Cabin in Sooke is a great base to explore from. Our party of four adults and one dog had a fantastic time in the space and really enjoyed the large sunny garden (with lots of beautiful birds). Plenty of space for everyone, very comfy beds and everything you need in the kitchen to cook up some big family meals. Michelle was great with communication and has lots of information around the cabin to help you find interesting things to do in the local area. Will be back!!

Nice stay in Sooke

Our stay was great. The property was nice with a good kitchen for cooking. The location was good. We had 9 people which was a bit tight, but this property was much more reasonably priced than anything else we could find.
