What a beautiful and cozy place! The views, food, and hospitality were excellent! We had such a great time staying here and the rain stopped enough for us to do a little hike and kayak! We even loved the view when it was socked in. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property, with great views. I rate it a 9/10. If we had been able to walk down to the water directly from our front door, it would be a 10/10. Excellent location and wonderful hosts!!!

We just returned home from our stay at Dave and Michelle's place. We had a wonderful time and created some great memories! The house was lovely and recently renovated to high standards. The kitchen had everything that you could possibly need which was important to us as we planned to enjoy family meals in every day. The view from the large patio was mesmerizing and it was interesting to watch the activities in the harbour. We remarked that the beds were very comfortable and there were a variety of pillows to choose from. My granddaughter who is 2 had the most wonderful time swimming at Katherine Lake and Ruby Lake. Dave and Michelle have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable; they are 5 star hosts and we sure hope to return.

The hosts, Dave and Michelle, are very nice and friendly people. Rooms were cozy and clean. Very nice quiet house. There is a nice and comfortable living room with two couches with an ocean view. The kitchen has pots, pans, dishes, spices, coffee machine, kettle, air fryer, microwave, etc. There is a smoker bbq on the deck that can be used. The hosts offer to make a meal- a menu is provided. It’s very useful on the arrival day when you had no time to do grocery shopping. And the food was hot and delicious. There is a deck with a few chairs and a table where you can have your meals. There is also a hummock hanging in the corner. It’s a very nice place to stay. We strongly recommend staying here.
