We stayed there for a job we were doing a on the island. Great spot, clean, nice surrounding area. Lance was quicj to respond to any questions or changes to the booking.
This is a very clean, bright, and beautiful place. We really enjoyed our time here. It has everything you need to be comfortable and relax after a fun day exploring Victoria and area. I highly recommend this gem in the treetops!
Beautiful relaxing 'home away from home'. Tastefully decorated with all the amenities you may need. The drive was absolutely beautiful to this location and the property was very quiet and you're surrounded by natue. Very relaxing. Would highly reccommend!
Highly recommend! This is a beautifully designed and detailed space. The owners have thought of everything. Easy check in, great communication, very quiet and private. We loved staying here.
Great place to stay. Our pups had a difficult time, there was no grassy areas, and tree sap (pitch) on walkway was quite messy. Maybe consider putting up an A frame
We really enjoyed our stay in the Highlands. This was the perfect way to relax after staying right in the middle of everything in downtown Victoria. We had a nice hike up to the Jocelyn lookout in Gowlland Tod Park as well. Great spot. Thanks.
Beautiful, serene, immaculate and very modern aesthetic. Everything that we needed was provided and more. The hosts were over the top attentive. Very comfortable. Close enough to necessities yet out in nature. So appreciated!
Really enjoyed staying in the suite. Surrounded by forest and lots of wildlife. It was quiet and peaceful. Loved being able to have our own patio area with comfortable chairs around a fire pit. Suite itself was very well built, very clean and nicely decorated. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable and enjoyable getaway. We were able to go on a nice hike in the Gowland Todd provincial park which was about 5 minutes away and also find dog friendly restaurants close by.
Me and my pup had such an amazing stay in the Highlands! We had to find a place for a month while our house underwent some restoration and this place really was such a beautiful home away from home. Thanks to the hosts, this stressful time felt like a vacation. They were great communicators and the place had everything we could have ever needed! Thank you for opening up this place!
Our family stayed here during spring break, and it felt like a breath of fresh air being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life! The home is wonderfully decorated and was well-equipped for all our needs. The location is truly gorgeous and it is so, so peaceful being up in the treetops. The property is also conveniently close to hiking trails, which is what we spent majority of our time doing. We really appreciated the addition of a dog bed and dog bowls. Would definitely recommend and we hope to be back again!
