It was absolutely amazing!! Jackie was an amazing host. Extremely courteous, friendly and generous. Even allowing the use of one of her children's life-jacket when she discovered my grand-daughter's jacket was left at home. We discussed items like where we each from originally and family histories among other topics. She was very approachable and did an amazing job of showing us around her beautiful property and explaining its amenities. She also told us about local spots to visits. It was an amazing stay and I would highly, highly recommend it to anyone planning to stay in the Lake Cowichan/Duncan/Youbou area.
