Quaint and cozy private studio that was very well appointed with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was excellent — very close to the ferry, shops, and everything we needed. Sandy was a wonderful host: friendly, responsive, and quick to communicate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

This is an ideal property for a couple. It is quiet and comfortable and reasonably priced. The cottage is within walking distance of restaurants and the theatre in Chemainus, a charming town to visit. The studio has a comfortable bed and furniture. It is in a residential neighbourhood and close to a regional park on the ocean. We recommend it.

I needed a simple studio for a workshop I was taking in the area. I didn’t spend much time at this property other than to sleep, but it had everything I needed and was perfectly located. Communication w owner was outstanding she was so kind and had great recommendations. Beautiful area and some great restaurants and a lovely park on the waterfront all within walking distance.

Lovely private space. Cute garden area. Very convenient to town businesses and the water. So nice to have coffee, tea and cream handy to start the day, and the bakery around the corner is great. Hoping to stay again when I come back to the island.

Property is thoughtfully designed for function and comfort. It was more impressive than the pictures shown. We enjoyed having our coffee, which our host thoughtfully provided with fresh cream,in the side garden. The rainfall shower was huge and the linens were new and fresh. The location was quiet but near the beach and restaurants in the old town. Perfect stay and spot!

Suite was excellent overall, with a lovely private garden and wooden fence, perfect location, lots of windows, and the most comfortable bed and pillows ever! The only issue was quite small in comparison to all the lovely qualities and that is the shower caulking is in need of a refresh. However, I would definitely stay here again in the future. The kitchen and suite was stocked well with necessary equipment, cleaning/bathing products, towels, and bedding.

Wonderful little cottage in a quiet community

The check in process was extremely easy. The list ofrequirements and expectations was straight forward and to the point. The mattress was like sleeping like I have never slept. The decor and anesthetic was pleasing. Sue was a delight to deal with and I know when I'm back out this way I will be checking for availability with her property

Could not sleep in bed - it was too soft.

We were both ill with the flu but the furniture we could rest on looked like outdoor wicker furniture and not comfortable at all. We left early.

Sweet suite

Spacious accommodation for two with a fully equipped kitchen which suited our needs. Nice nook/covered seating area in the back which would be great in spring and summer....*my only suggestion would be if you are a light sleeper to bring an eye mask as the sensor light illuminated the space which was unfortunate as I had forgot mine. All in all we enjoyed the space.
