The cottage is riverfront, on the Sooke River with a riverbank trail down to the water and a natural swimming hole on the property

The cottage has a large deck overlooking the river with a propane barbeque and hot tub.

Riverside Cottage has two bedrooms and one bath. The master bedroom located on the main floor has a queen-sized bed, quality linens, stained glass windows, antiques, folk art and overlooks the secret garden. The master bedroom has easy access to the main floor bath.

Upstairs there is a loft bedroom with a double bed and fabulous views of the river.

This brightly painted room has a shower as well as a "maid's tub" that will delight the children. Adults will enjoy the thick towels!

This space feels like home from the moment you walk in the door. The comfortable furniture grouped around a gas fireplace is the perfect spot for family chats.

A chair with an ottoman and a reading lamp invite you to spend time with a favourite book. There is also a large TV, a stereo and a DVD player.

Views of the river, the lawn and the outside deck with its pots of herbs and flowers add to your contentment. Folk art, memorabilia, hardwood floors, bright cushions and rugs complete the decor.

The compact kitchen is well designed and has all the standard appliances as well as some delightful memorabilia. An island with a two burner cooktop allows the chef to part of the ongoing activity. The kitchen opens to the large deck where a propane barbeque extends the cooking options and where pots of fresh herbs are available to enhance your meals.

The kitchen is well supplied with cooking utensils, china, glassware and cutlery for four. The eating area with a wooden table and four chairs is between the living room area and the kitchen. Guests can also choose to eat on the deck or to take a picnic down to the river's bank.

Beyond the deck on the west side is a lawn and the property is surrounded by mature trees giving privacy and shade. There are steps down to the river and on the north side of the property there is a small secret garden.

The deck opens directly from the kitchen area and from the front door.

The cottage is within walking distance of two of Sooke's main attractions, the Sooke River Potholes and the Galloping Goose Trail.
