Handsome Dan’s is a quiet, cosy and luxurious stay. We had a lovely winter getaway here. The steaming hot tub was bliss and the wood burning fire place kept us warm during a cold snap. We made great use of the fully equipped kitchen and slept well in the super comfortable beds. Dan and France are terrific hosts — they’ve thought of everything and we’re very responsive to any questions we had.
A great cabin with everything you need for a comfortable stay with a family. Getting in and out of the driveway with the car can be a bit challenging but otherwise a perfect stay. The house is well stocked and the hot tub was great. Clean and easy to check in
What a special space. Gorgeous property, beautiful interior, great fire. Lights around the stairs were a magical touch :) Only issue was it was raining a lot and there’s no covered area to keep towels or other things dry on the hot tub deck… but we made do!
We wanted to show our French exchange student a little slice of Canada. This property exceeded our expectations. We arrived to a warm glow up a magical staircase. The decks and hot tub were beautiful and the house was beautifully appointed and spotless. Every detail was charming. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Fabulous house and host! Super cozy and clean. Very comfortable.
As log cabins go, this one is ok, a bit tired in parts, 2 broken recliners in the lounge, work tops in kitchen need updating and we weren’t fans of the spiral staircase and the bedroom doors, but, overall it’s ok
My husband Steve, cousin Theona and her hubby, Milton and our two small dogs stayed at this lovely log cabin last week. We had a wonderful time. The cabin was very well equipped with everything you need in your kitchen. There was lots of room inside and the hot tube was a bonus. We would definitely go back again. Thank you France and Dan??
We had so much fun as a girls getaway thankyou so much
We had a fantastic stay with 3 kids (1, 8, and 11). The yard is gorgeous and the house is lovely. Our only complaint is that,we should have booked more nights!
My wife, daughter and I (and beagle) had a fantastic getaway experience in Sooke. Log house was comfortable with great amenities and location. Loved the hot tub and fire pit at night. Thumbs up!
We had an amazing time, the hottub was great. The fire pit and fire place were relaxing and the host was great at answering any of our questions. This was the perfect place to catch up with some friends I hadn't seen in a long time.
This property had all what we needed, I wish I knew there was a waffle maker. It had probably more cooking utensils then other properties I have stayed and were in good shape, my only regret was not staying a extra day. Communication with Dan was great , my dogs were comfy and slept infront of the fireplace .
We all had a wonderful relaxing time! Thanks for the experience!
It was great! Exactly as advertised
Our whole family from kids to grandparents loved staying at this special cabin!
This is a very well kept property and very nice overall. Just a couple of things that I missed in the listing when I made my reservation that I wanted to mention. First, no dishwasher. Definitely not a show-stopper, but I've gotten used to having one. Second, the master sleeping accommodations are in the loft and the bath is on the main level. This was also not a show-stopper, but I'm getting older and have to make more than one trip during the night and that meant a trip up and down the stairs. Might be a problem for someone with limited mobility. All in all, the hosts were excellent and the property is lovely. I would stay here again.
One of the best properties we've stayed at. Just so relaxing. All the little details in the space, all the helpful notes, the artwork, the amenities. We loved it.
A genuine log home experience with well appointed modern kitchen and bath. Very clean throughout, great communication with owners. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and the wood burning fireplace.
Very nice property and well kept. Regret not spending more time in the hot tub. Good location to explore east or west on hwy 14
