About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Scarlet Oak: Ground level suite in a heritage country home and garden.

Scarlet Oak is a 1930's country home on the old Kirby Shingle Mill site, nestled under boughs of a heritage Scarlet Oak tree amid towering cedars, firs, and Pacific Dogwoods. The one+ acre property is known as one of Sooke's beautiful old gardens, and has been featured on the Sooke Secret Garden tour. We will be on the garden tour this coming June 2027

A variety of wildlife visits Scarlet Oak, and is a favourite stop over for migrating birds. This is a private gated property on a quiet street - on a popular local bike route just steps to the Galloping Goose Trail. The walking/cycling Trail can take you to the Sooke Pot Holes Regional Park over a railway trestle, and stretches as far away as Victoria. We are getting a number of guests riding bikes from Vancouver to Scarlet Oak, via BC Ferries, Lochside Regional trail, and Galloping Goose.

Your private spacious "no stairs" suite contains a full kitchen and is always supplied with coffee beans, teas and sugar. Soaps, shampoo/conditioner, and laundry soap are also provided.

Beautiful and welcoming stay

Nancy and Tony were extremely friendly and welcoming and made us feel like we were staying at a friend’s house rather than a vacation rental. The property is beautiful and was great to walk around in, and the suite itself was full of amenities and very comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be back next time we visit Sooke!
