About this property

The Treehouse at Matheson Lake Guest House

Enjoy the comfort and privacy of your own fully self-contained guest suite, thoughtfully designed for a relaxing stay. The suite features a private entrance, dedicated parking, and exclusive outdoor space, ensuring you can come and go at your leisure.

While the hosts reside in the lower level of the home, the guest suite is completely separate with no shared indoor living spaces, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful and private experience.

We value our guests’ privacy but are always nearby if you need assistance or local recommendations.

Whether you’re visiting to unwind, explore the beautiful West Coast, or travel for business, you’ll have a quiet, comfortable retreat to call your own.

Walk or drive down to Matheson Lake, a very popular spot to swim with various hiking paths including The Galloping Goose Trail. Ride your bike to the Metchosin town core, Roche Cove, Sooke, or as far as historic Leechtown. Visit the CRD website to discover more about the beautiful parks, trails, and beaches Metchosin has to offer!

Enjoy a country meal at My Chosen Cafe or order in from their pizza kitchen, the best pizza in town!

Pedder Bay Marina is a great spot to grab a Starbucks coffee and stroll along the docks where you will see a variety of birds and sea life. Rent a power boat or kayak and explore the beautiful and clam bay.

During the summer (non-burning) season, guests are welcome to use our propane fire pit. We provide one propane tank at the start of your stay; however, we’re not able to provide unlimited propane. If you plan to use the fire pit frequently, additional propane can be obtained by exchanging the tank at the nearby corner store or by bringing your own.

**IMPORTANT- We ask all guests to ensure that they have trip cancellation and extended health coverage at the time of booking. Refund requests outside our cancellation policy for personal health reasons and unexpected weather events (that may cause road closures or other delays) such as: snow storms, flooding, forest fires, power outages, ferry cancellations, etc. will not be given. Thank you for understanding why we these cancellation policies in place for our small business.

We were given a very warm welcome by Dave and Amanda when we arrived. The guest house was a lovely spacious place to stay. Set in a quiet oasis from the hustle and bustle of larger towns and a short drive away from Metchison Village. Victoria is a short half hour drive from the guest house. It was a lovely way to relax for the last few days of our wonderful self drive tour of Vancouver, The Rockies and Vancouver Island.

What a fantastic place to use as a base to explore the Sooke area! Dave and Amanda are amazing hosts, and their property alone would make a great destination. The rental is neat as a pin, the wifi is fast. Check in and check out were super easy. Absolutely nothing to complain about, nor suggestions for improvement.
