Centrally located private studio in Chemainus
My home is a little bit funky and a little bit Zen like. There are beautiful trees and plants. It is very private and quiet. I have a grape vine in my yard and a hugh windmill palm tree. My home is close to everything that Chemainus has to offer - Kin Beach and the very best Thai Restaurant in Chemainus is around the corner. Everything is within walking distance - Latte and Expresso coffee, Shopping,, a market and world famous murals that illustrate the history of Chemainus. Also Live Dinner Theatre, golfing, hiking trails. You may want to take a day trip to Thetis Island. This ferry is 1 block from my house.

Bright ground floor unit with all the listed amenities, although we ate out for all meals. Coffee and tea available to start the day. We easily walked all around the area. So many murals in the downtown area!! Nice to see the older homes from days gone by. Smaller beach 1/2 block away. Visitor info had good options for things to do in the district.Loved the Chemainus bakery around the corner for 7 am fresh sausage rolls and yummy pastries. Took the old valley highway drive to Merridale Cidery, beautiful property, excellent menu (try the charcuterie) and delish ciders. Many of the local wineries are closed M/Tu. Nice to see smaller towns off the main hwy.

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.

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
All very comfortable and easy. I would have been helpful to have instructions on how to program the thermostat.

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.
