About this property
Barb’s by the Lake
Welcome to Barb's By the Lake. Large, bright self contained one bedroom lower suite. Private patio door entrance. Rustic, quiet location. Across the street from pristine Florence Lake. Two minute drive to Costco. Loads of shopping, restaurants, recreational facilities, walking trails and 5 minutes to the highway so it's quick to head downtown or up island. I put a lot of love into making my suite comfortable and cozy including hand painted furniture and bathroom floor. Really comfy bed too.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Barbara MacDonald
I grew up on the mainland but moved to the island in 1979. I never wanted to leave!
I have been hosting for several years and love it. I love hiking, yoga, shopping and telling guests about great places to visit while here.
We have the wonderful Royal BC museum about 30 minutes from here. There are lakes and trails all over the island, many within 10 to 15 minutes drive from here. World famous Butchart Gardens is about 30 minutes away. There is so much to do on the island from horseback riding to skiing.
Many guests love it so much that they return every year.

Why they chose this property
When I bought my house 25 years ago I chose it because of the great location. I always wanted to live by water and the lake is just a couple of minutes from our house.
We are close to loads of shopping and amenities but are surrounded by tall beautiful trees.
It’s just a fabulous location.

What makes this property unique
Guests are always blown away by how large, clean and comfortable our suite is. All the windows look out onto the yard. We often have deer, raccoons, bunnies and other wildlife on the property. Tons of squirrels are quite entertaining. And there are, of course lots of birds. A couple of years ago there was a Junco nest right outside the kitchen window in a planter and guests could watch the mom feeding her babies while they enjoyed their breakfast. Very cool!
