About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quiet oasis steps from the Sooke River.

Your hosts live on the property and we are therefore not subject to the new regulations.

This 950 sq ft cottage was completely renovated in 2021, recycling old growth wood everywhere. A net-zero modern farmhouse that sits on 2.5 acres overlooking fields is away from the Sooke River & at the 44 km marker on the Galloping Goose. Two bedrooms and one bath, incredible kitchen with high end finishing- a perfect bit of luxury on the west coast. Private and secure garden with BBQ.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting
Corgi Doc loved the beautiful fenced yard. We loved everything. Beautiful cottage, lots of light, beautifully accommodated and wonderful location. Truly a magical little gem. My only suggestion would be for more hooks for coats, dog stuff and bags. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us, wish we could’ve stayed a few days longer.

Absolute Gem!
This property was beyond perfect! You won't be disappointed. The house is adorable, designed perfectly, immaculate. Private patio and backyard. Backs up to the beautiful, stunning, galloping goose trail. We walked everyday on this tree lined trail. The owners are delightful! We would have loved to stay longer. Highly recommend and would love to come back! Thank you Laura!

Paradise!
Our stay was absolutely impeccable. The property has such a warm and welcoming feeling, and the owners have put a lot of love and care into the River House. I love the sustainable development of the property. We spent a beautiful day at the Sooke Potholes and couldn't have asked for a better home and place to vacation.

Beautiful cottage in Sooke
We stayed for 11 days with our Golden Retriever. She is 12 years old and needed a place without stairs due to arthritis. The cottage was perfect. It is surrounded by large evergreen trees with the added bonus of a Golden Eagle nest. Our host, Laura is a dog lover and instantly bonded with our pup. She was extremely responsive to our needs. The cottage has a fenced yard with a lawn, barbecue and picnic table. It has close direct access to the Galloping Goose trail for hiking and is close to the Sooke River. We would stay there again in a minute.

A Dream Stay at the River House
Laura and Steve’s property is absolutely stunning! Not only is this VRBO beautifully located for a West Coast holiday, it’s clear that the hosts have poured love into every aspect of their space… down to the tiniest detail! We felt wholly at home and cared for throughout our stay. Our pup included! Who loved lounging in the fenced yard and snuggling up on the pet-provided blankets! We truly enjoyed every moment spent at the River House and can’t wait to return one day. Thank you so so much for making our stay, and intimate elopement, so incredible!

Beautiful Cottage in Serene Location
We spent 4 great nights at this beautiful property. The cottage is newly renovated and beautifully decorated. We truly appreciated being able to bring our dog and having the secure back yard was an added bonus. Easy access to the galloping goose and the Sooke River. Close to so many trails (East Sooke Park and Matheson Lake) for good hikes. Though we were only a 45 minute drive to downtown Victoria, we felt we were a million miles away. We will definitely be back.
