The rural feel within a suburban setting was relaxing and visually pleasing. The horses next door were a plus. Very much open land around the house gave privacy. Well equipped stay. The interior was designed with an eye for elegance that I didn't expect. More room that we needed as a couple...3 couples could be accommodated, but after Victoria and Tofino, the serenity and space were welcomed. Plenty of hot water, towels, pillows and kitchen supplies. We recommend this property

Beds are comfotable. Host replied to messages very quickly too.

Quiet area next to horse stables surrounded by wooded area. The house is well furnished, beautifully decorated, and the kitchen appliances and pots/pans and utensils are stocked for cooking. The house is about a 5 minute drive from Westwood Lake and 15 minutes from the Nanaimo waterfront. We would stay at this property again.

Well stocked spacious house perfect for our needs to explore Nanaimo & surrounding areas and cook at home in the gorgeous kitchen. So much thought has been put into what a person might need during their visit. Three queen beds suited us perfectly and the mattresses were very plush and comfortable. There was even a memory foam cot we folded out for my youngest. The air conditioned rooms were so lovely and there were 4 TVs in the home with Roku - perfect for rainy spurts. A very spacious kitchen/family room/dining room space. My daughter loved to look at the horses seen from the house or the geese that visited the property. We would definitely stay again - the only problem was having to leave.

Serenity Farms was such a wonderful place to stay during our visit to Nanaimo. My daughter, my service dog & I had such a comfortable, peaceful stay there, and I’m so grateful we found it. We stayed for a full week.The home is roomy, beautiful, amazingly comfy & very easy to get to, with so many thoughtful little touches throughout the house. There were plenty of lights, everything felt welcoming & comfortable, and my pup was very happy there too! Definitely a nice home away from home. I especially appreciated how well supplied the kitchen was with dishes, cookware & utensils. We ate breakfast there every morning and also prepared several other meals, so having everything we needed made our stay that much better. Anne Marie was wonderful... friendly, responsive, stayed in touch & was very helpful anytime I needed anything.Overall, it was just an incredibly pleasant stay. Serenity Farms felt peaceful, comfortable & thoughtfully prepared for guests. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nanaimo.

The host was extremely responsive and very easy to deal with, and the house was exactly as pictured. Very nicely done, well maintained and clean. As a nice touch, and especially for a house in a quieter area, the kitchen was very well supplied in terms of equipment and food staples like flour, oils, some spices and coffee/tea. Wholly recommend.

Stayed for a week in the summer

I stayed here for about a week with two colleagues while we were in Nanaimo for work. The place is spacious and lovely. Anne Marie and her daughter Christiana were super responsive to our messages, and worked to quickly resolve a few issues we had while there. The rental is a short drive from downtown Nanaimo, and a close to Westwood Lake, which was nice for jogging/walking/swimming.

Beautiful property next to a horse farm with fruit trees all around. Deer were coming by every night. It's right outside Nanaimo but very quiet.The house itself is very nice and well equipped. With 3 comfortable bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 showers it could easily support 3 couples staying.Very happy with the stay and the host was incredibly responsive. She never took more than a couple minutes to get back to me.Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to rent for any occasion!
