Lake Matheson Mystic

Our family of 4 adults and our dog enjoyed a wonderful stay with Ananda & Dave. They were terrific hosts, very accommodating. Their 2 bedroom property is well layed out and very well stocked with the essentials. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. We used the hot tub, hiked around the lake and cooked some terrific meals. I would recommend this very unique property to anyone. Thank you Amanda and Dave.

Amazing stay!!!

We absolutely loved this place. The hosts have thought of everything for a comfortable get-away. The location is perfect as it is close to numerous hiking trails but still only a short distance to Langford or downtown Victoria. We will definitely be back again.

Grad Trip

My friends and I went on our first solo trip and Matheson Lake Guest House was such a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed being a bit more removed and having the quiet surroundings, and having the dogs greet us every time we drove in! The place was very clean and the kitchen was well supplied.
