About this property
Welcome to Willowbend a peaceful forest country retreat. Unique Yurt style cabin
Enjoy the privacy and comfort of this very special property. Serenely nestled by the beauty of the West Coast Evergreens, you will be able to feel a true Vancouver Island experience. The entry deck has a guest garden with herbs, the tranquil sound of a trickling fountain, both a propane BBQ, with a live edge bench to sit on while you are preparing your meals, and fire table for warm cozy outdoor evenings, as well as motion sensors to light the entrance and stairs. As you step inside, our artistically crafted Yurt style cabin welcomes you with beautiful woodwork throughout. The French Doors open to a second deck, which is overlooking a pasture with majestic trees and a seasonal creek (frequented by wildlife) with the occasional sound of a foghorn and distant waves. There is a very comfortable reclining loveseat and chair in front of an electric fireplace, a bookshelf with lots of information about local areas, plus more interesting and intriguing subjects and games. Smart TV, free Netflix. The queen size bed has an award winning Nectar mattress and pillows (guest favourite), extra blankets and throws, plus lots of storage in the dresser and Armoire for clothes. Full kitchen has everything you need with seating at the island and at the dining table. The bathroom includes a shower with a fold down seat in front of it, lots of towels as well as washer and dryer. There is direct access to acres of forest trails off property. It is a two minute drive to Gordons Beach. Further up the coast there are many spectacular Provincial parks and places to explore, offering amazing hiking and views. You will see several great places to stop in along the way up the coast to get delicious goodies and special drinks to take with you on your adventures . We are 8km from the village of Sooke where you can find world class fishing, whale watching, kayaking and paddle board rentals. There are also a variety of places for dining and artisan shops as well as three unique local breweries. We feel very grateful to be living is such a wonderful area and love to share it with our guests. We hope to be able to welcome you here for an unforgettable stay.

About the host
Your host
I spent many years working in Veterinary Medicine (support staff), as a professional musician, and I enjoy working as a trainer and coach with horses and riders. My husband has guided nature walks and operated Marine Tours . I enjoy spending time here at the farm in the gardens and going for beach and forest walks with my husband and our two dogs, Maggie and Jet. I feel very lucky to be living on such a beautiful property and we love to welcome our guests to share this.
Why they chose this property
Our property is in a rural neighbourhood nestled in a private forested setting. Farm fresh eggs are available across the street, with another stand further down the road. There are acres of forested walking trails right off the property and more down the road. The ocean is a two minute drive away and the sound of the waves and foghorn can occasionally be heard while sitting on the deck overlooking the pasture, or by the fire table. It is a very peaceful area and many guests have described it a 'magical' and 'tranquil'. There are several spectacular Provincial Parks a short distance up the coast with amazing hiking and beaches. There is a choice of unique places to stop along the way offering snacks, wood fired pizza, delicious baked goods.
What makes this property unique

With a focus on comfort and ambience, there is a full kitchen, with everything you need, an armoire with hangers, a chest of drawers, an electric fireplace, comfortable furniture and an award winning mattress (guest favourite) with extra blankets and throws. There is a Guest Garden with herbs, tranquil trickling fountain, a propane fire table and BBQ , with a live edge bench to sit on while preparing your meals. The second deck overlooks the pasture, forest and seasonal creek. Convenient storage for recycles and compost Guests are welcome to wander around the farm and go down our forest trails which connect to acres of more trails just off the property.. All in a very private setting. Truly a West Coast experience. Long and short term stays are welcome.
