Built in 1918

year-round destination

The coziest of cottages that’s great for any time of year. Start your day off with a coffee on the front porch, taking in the peaceful sounds and surroundings of country life. Close your day out curled up by the fireplace enjoying the finer moments of life with family and friends alike.

The cottage is tucked up next to the forest and full of trails to explore across the street. Muir Creek is just minutes away, giving you an expansive beach to wander and sunsets that are as good as it gets.

The space

Once part of a much larger historic farm, The Cottage was built in 1918. We are located on the South west Coast of Vancouver Island 12 Km west of Sooke.

Situated in a forest and farmland setting, the property has a large yard and 2.5 acres to explore. On the property there is also the main farm house which was built in 1914 as well as a Tiny House. The moment you step out of your car you will feel a sense of peace and tranquility.

The Cottage is really a fully equipped small house with two double bedrooms on the upper floor, one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. There is a queen size master bedroom with ensuite on the main level. Plus a double pull-out in the living room.

Most guests describe the cottage as spacious and peaceful. There is a living room with a wood-burning fireplace insert (firewood included), a large kitchen/dining room and full bathroom.

There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer.

The nearest beach is Muir Creek Beach about 500 m away.

Muir Creek runs into the Straight of Juan da Fuca here and the estuary provides a great opportunity for bird and wildlife watching. Canadian Geese, Bald Eagles, Heron, River Otters, Seals...

From here you can look across the Straight to the Olympic Mountains. Whales and Sea Lions are often spotted here.

Farther along the coast are the many beautiful beaches of the area; Gordon Beach, French Beach, Sombrio Beach, China Beach and many more. Botanical Beach at Port Renfrew is a must see at low tide.

The Farm is 1hr 15min drive away from Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal and Victoria International Airport. One hour to Victoria and 15 minutes to Sooke.

There are many things to do and see in the area.

Mead tasting at Tugwell Creek Honey Farm, tour the Salt West salt making company, Foggy Mountain Forge and the Sherringham Point Light House are but to name a few.

After all your adventures, stop in at Shirley Delicious for a coffee and some delicious food and treats, the name says it all!

Stoke Wood Fire Pizzeria is just down the road with their authentic Italian style wood fired pizzas- DELICIOUS!!

Did we mention that there are 3 micro breweries in the area? Bad Dog Brewing Company being the closest and our favourite! Enjoy!
