We cannot express how great our stay at Hidden Pond was! Rob (Jo-ann was away) went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay and he succeeded ten fold. The property was beautiful and the place had plenty of room for our girls weekend. We did not have kids or pets this time but can see the potential for everyone to enjoy the space, children and furry friends alike. Again, such great hosts. Highly reccomend Hidden Pond.

This place is so unique! The surroundings are beautiful and worth the short drive from Victoria. The cute little pond and lots of space inside were hits with our group. Jo Ann is so welcoming and friendly and the place had little touches that make you feel welcome. Highly recommend.

10/10 stay! We spent 7 nights here and couldn't have been happier. The home was exceptional: it was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the rooms were spacious. The kitchen was the best stocked we've ever seen in a vacation rental! We also appreciated the thoughtful extras like muffins, fruit, and treats for the kids. The property was beautiful! The pond was great for swimming, and the boats provided hours of entertainment for our kids. The walking trail and surprise forest “office” was really cute and fun. The hot tub was great for the cooler evenings. Our host was friendly and responsive when we had any questions. A beautiful property and an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay on Vancouver Island

This place is wonderful! Jo-Ann made us feel so welcomed. Her place is beautifully equipped,including welcoming fruits and sweet treats. After a long day of travel,we enjoyed a dip in Hidden Pond followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our children and grandchildren with us to enjoy this wonderful spot.

Wish we could have stayed longer

The property is immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was big enough to fit all 8 of us comfortably and has plenty of room to stretch out. The kids loved the pond. Thanks for your hospitality Jo-Ann and Rob!

We had a wonderful time! We were welcomed upon arrival, instructions were very clear and the property was fantastic. There was more than enough space and more than enough things to do on site. Hot tub was hot and clean, and even the trails had a little surprises along the way for us to check out! We had a great deal of fun. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be booking for the summer months when we can enjoy the property even more highly recommend Hidden Pond! The only very minor suggestion I would make is to have a more updated library of books and games. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Myself, my parents, and our two dogs stayed here and absolutely loved it!! We were a short drive to Victoria (didn't have enough time to explore Sooke or Metchosin this time), and sometimes didn't even want to leave as there was so much to do at the house! It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub, pond with floaties, hammock, trail to walk the pups, the incredible deck to watch the sunset, and berry picking. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we needed to make a special birthday dinner for my dad or anything else! Jo-Ann and Rob were wonderful hosts, fantastic communication. 100/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat!
