Firstly, Kristen was a fantastic host! She was a great local guide and had fantastic hike recommendations, plus she thought of everything! Firewood, laundry detergent, coffee, and tea, etc! She was such a kind and caring host. I wish every host were like Kristen!Secondly, the property and house were gorgeous! It was more out of the way for our time in Victoria, but soooo worth it. We are less keen on big cities anyway, so it was lovely to be out of the way of downtown Victoria, but still quite close. There was a stream right next to the house, and leaving my window open at night to listen to the stream as I was falling asleep was like my own version of heaven. PNW forests are the best on Earth (imo) and staying at Kristen's property really did them justice; it was tranquil and amazingly beautiful.
