Thank you Jo-Ann and Rob for such a luxurious stay! The place was clean and very comfortable. All the added touches made the trip very enjoyable - the fruit, baked goods, chocolates, the Gong, the beautiful interior decoration, the hot tub, and serene vibe of the property. We look forward to returning soon!

We cannot express how great our stay at hidden pond was! Rob (Jo-ann was away) went way above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay, and he succeeded ten fold. The property is beautiful and there was plenty of space for our girls weekend. We did not have kids or pets this time but could see the potential for the best stay with your young ones and furry friends. Again, just the most fantastic hosts. Highly recommend.

Our stay was peaceful and rejuvenating. We loved sitting on the sofas and looking out the windows at the trees. Rob was just a text away, and so friendly and helpful. The linens were high quality, and the water for bathing was nice and hot! It was just as beautiful as the photos.

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.
