Wedgewood House | Private Cottage, Hot Tub, King Bed | Near Beaches & Trails

Over three decades ago, I made the life-changing decision to leave the mainland and settle on Vancouver Island. Drawn by its breathtaking landscapes, slower pace, and deep connection to nature, I knew this was where I wanted to call home.

Seventeen years ago, my husband and I found our perfect retreat in Metchosin—a place where the forest meets the sea, and where every day feels like a step closer to nature. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the quiet charm of the community, where neighbors feel like friends and the rhythm of life is set by the tides and seasons.

Metchosin is more than just where we live—it’s where we thrive. We spend our days biking scenic trails, hiking through lush forests, and exploring rugged beaches that stretch along the coastline. The beauty of this place never fades, whether it’s the golden glow of the sun setting over the water or the crisp morning air as we walk through the towering trees.

Hosting guests in our home allows us to share the magic of Metchosin with others. Whether it’s a visitor looking for a peaceful getaway or an adventurer eager to explore the island’s natural beauty, we love welcoming people into this special corner of the world.

For us, Wedgewood House is more than a home—it’s a gateway to tranquility, adventure, and the simple joys of island living. We hope every guest leaves feeling refreshed, inspired, and as in love with this place as we are.

When my husband and I were looking for a place to call home, we knew we wanted somewhere peaceful, surrounded by nature, and with a strong sense of community. Seventeen years ago, we found exactly that in Metchosin—a hidden gem on Vancouver Island that instantly felt like home.

What drew us here was the unspoiled beauty—forests, beaches, lakes, and endless trails right outside our door. We love how easy it is to step outside and be surrounded by nature, whether it’s biking through wooded paths, hiking along the coastline, or simply enjoying the quiet sounds of the outdoors.

Metchosin is also a place where community matters. It has a small-town charm that makes it special—friendly neighbors, local markets, and a welcoming atmosphere. Despite feeling wonderfully secluded, we’re still close enough to Victoria, making it easy to enjoy the city while retreating to our peaceful haven at the end of the day.

Choosing Metchosin wasn’t just about finding a house—it was about finding a lifestyle that balances adventure, tranquility, and connection to nature. Every day, we’re reminded why this place is so special, and we love sharing it with guests who come to experience its beauty.
