We had the most amazing family getaway here! The design of the place is stunning – you can tell they thought of every little detail. The private lake was absolutely perfect and so relaxing, and we loved the special treats of delicious cookies and muffins. Everything made us feel so welcome and cared for. We truly had an unforgettable family experience and will definitely be coming back again!

Myself, my parents, and our two dogs stayed here and absolutely loved it!! We were a short drive to Victoria (didn't have enough time to explore Sooke or Metchosin this time), and sometimes didn't even want to leave as there was so much to do at the house! It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub, pond with floaties, hammock, trail to walk the pups, the incredible deck to watch the sunset, and berry picking. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we needed to make a special birthday dinner for my dad or anything else! Jo-Ann and Rob were wonderful hosts, fantastic communication. 100/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat!

What an incredible property and incredible hosts! I would highly recommend staying at the Hidden Pond. We had children, adults and dogs and everyone enjoyed it equally. I would also say it would be worth it to have a day with light plans to be able to enjoy the property.

Great place to stay on Vancouver Island

This place is wonderful! Jo-Ann made us feel so welcomed. Her place is beautifully equipped,including welcoming fruits and sweet treats. After a long day of travel,we enjoyed a dip in Hidden Pond followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our children and grandchildren with us to enjoy this wonderful spot.

Paradise

Such an amazing spot for our first visit to Canada! The pond was a blast! My kiddos loved kayaking/swimming and finding frogs & salamanders. I loved spending time in the balcony and listening to the birds. Our kiddos loved the fire pit and the playhouse in the blueberry garden. Plenty of space for the 4 of us and the bunk beds were a huge hit! Everything was lovely and we can’t wait to come back!

Full of fun nature stay that was relaxing and well thought out

Seriously great stay if you are looking for a place to relax in nature, bring a family or have a pet. The natural pond was an absolute hit for our dog, kids and grown ups! Lots of floating toys, a dock to jump in from, plenty of seating/ lounging options and beautiful landscaping at every turn. We actually gave up many of our out and about plans just to stay and play in the pond. We loved the well stocked fire pit. The hot tub was nice and toasty. The rentals deck was huge and again had many seating options, a dining table and clean BBQ with spare propane. The beds were clean and comfy. All kitchen supplies were there along with plenty of spices and some common condiments - so you don't have to go buy them :) The owners are super nice. They helped us find some great local things to do and made sure our entire stay from pre-arrival to exit was above and beyond expectations. I would definitely go back to Hidden Pond.

Lovely property with plenty of comfortable relaxation space inside and out. The owners really tried to cover all our needs. The driveway and walkways are pretty steep, which can be expected on a hillside, so as long as you are prepared for that you will have a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jo-Ann & Rob Kevala

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 three 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.

We operate as both a Bed and Breakfast and vacation rental so lots of options for your stay. This suite can also be rented to join with the other Hidden Pond Gong Suite.
