Lovely property
Lovely property with plenty of comfortable relaxation space inside and out. The owners really tried to cover all our needs. The driveway and walkways are pretty steep, which can be expected on a hillside, so as long as you are prepared for that you will have a wonderful stay.

Fabulous Get-Away
We had a wonderful mini vacation at Hidden Pond. Our hosts were great at communicating with us, right from the time of our booking to responding to a few questions that we had and during our stay. The entire suite is really beautiful and you can see the care and attention that went into decorating it. They really thought of all the little details. We had such a great time swimming and floating on the pond and enjoyed our walks around the property. There is even (a very clean) porta-potty nearby to use so you don't have to walk all the way up the hill to use the washroom. We would bring our snacks and refreshments in a small cooler and stay down by the pond for hours, there is equal amounts of sun & shaded areas to enjoy. *The only thing we would add is that for future stays, it would be great to have a 12-cup coffee maker provided, as there was only a French press, and we really just wanted to press a button to brew, no fuss or muss! The hot tub was a short walk up a small hill through a little garden filled with blueberries and flowers. The hot tub fits 4 people comfortably with seating around the edge, & white fluffy robes are even provided. We will definitely be returning to this great place. Many thanks to our hosts!

Peaceful Retreat
We were so happy to have found this wonderful property. The house is beautiful and it has everything anyone needs to feel comfortable and at home. The pond was amazing and my teenage kids had a blast with the row boat and flamingo. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking to get away and relax. The property owners were very nice and available since day one but we really didn’t need anything because they did such a great job making us feel welcome. The breakfast place they recommended was delicious so please ask them about it! Loved our stay.

A little piece of paradise
We really enjoyed our stay in the family suite at the hidden pond. The accommodations were beautiful and we were taken back by how much room there was. The amenities were amazing, from the hot tub, to the garden, to the peaceful pond. The fresh baked goods were a lovely touch. Can’t wait to come back and stay at hidden pond again!

Wonderful secluded property and swimming pond
We had a great stay here, everything was exactly as we had hoped from the listing and photos. Swimming pond was a definite highlight! The hosts struck a perfect balance between being helpful and available when needed but also very relaxed and not in our way at all. We would definitely return and would recommend this stay to friends and family.

Annual cousins summer vacation
Hidden Pond was an excellent choice for our summer vacation. The accommodations were exactly as pictured in the VRBO. We felt very comfortable and at home. It was peaceful and private. And the outdoor area was perfect for a group of 5 energetic children with a swimming pond, hot tub, and orchard to go exploring around. I highly recommend it!

Cozy, Clean & Amazing Hosts
The host stayed in contact with us as we arrived on Vancouver Island to make sure that we found our way to their property and to offer a warm friendly welcome. Help with the luggage up the stairs to our suite was offered and the room temperature was quickly adjusted to our satisfaction from the thermostat in their living quarters above our suite. The host's availability and willingness to resolve any 'settling in' requests was impressive due to her high degree of cooperation and understanding; simply put, she is a lovely person. It was apparent that the host makes an effort to live quietly while tenants are in residence living below them and also to keep their pets from disrupting their guest's privacy. We have allergies and the suite was so clean that there was no allergic reaction to previous tenant's pets and the hosts kept their own dogs away from us at all times. There was lots of hot water for long showers, a plentiful supply of towels, a well equipped kitchen, a week's supply of muffins, cookies and fruit set out in the kitchen and comfortable furniture for reading and TV viewing. While cycling on the Galloping Goose Trail we ran into some difficulties (lost truck keys) and the willing assistance offered by the host and and her husband was remarkable and deeply appreciated. They went above and beyond what was expected.

Beautiful Suite & Location
My husband and I escaped the Alberta winter and stayed for 10 weeks. The suite was perfect ... spacious and clean with everything that we needed. The property is located in a gorgeous area, beautifully wooded and quiet. Just what we hoped for. Jo-Ann & Rob were great hosts and were very attentive to any requests. We would love to come back for another visit. Thank you Jo-Ann & Rob!!

Relaxation at its best!
We came to sit around a fire and relax in amongst nature and that is dxactly what we were able to do!. We had one brief fire outdoors (due to rain) but also enjoyed a beautiful fire inside. The home is spacious and tastefully decorated. Beds are extremely comfortable and we slept well. Huge deck with lots of furniture under cover to enjoy rain or shine! Lots of chairs for everyone to sit for eating and relaxing.

We wanted a place that could hold 3 families with their own privacy. This place is huge since we booked both units. My grandkids loved the woods and pond. The kitchens are stocked with things needed to cook meals (oil, katchup, etc). The welcome cookies and muffins were appreciated. Great spot

Great Time at Hidden Pond
The property is beautiful and quiet, we enjoyed time on the large deck eating dinners and lots of other furniture to lounge on. We swam in the pond every day. The inside of the suite is beautifully updated and decorated and was more then enough room for our family of four. The owners and their staff had everything well set up and answered all our questions and gave suggestions for things to do in the area.
