This truly is a "lovely cottage set amongst the cedars". We spent an extended weekend with our grown daughter, and enjoyed many of the sights from Chemainus to Parksville. The location was quiet and absolutely beautiful, we will definitely return. Our host was very easy to work with, and the listing is exactly as shown. There were no surprises.

A wonderful week long stay in a perfect cottage amoungst the cedar trees. A nicely decorated two bedroom fully equipped unit, fully stocked with all the needed amenities,.. salt, pepper, coffee, tea and sugar to get that first morning started on a positive vibe. Perfect for one couple or two. Close to all kinds of shopping, food or otherwise, and a great quiet relaxing base for sightseeing pleasures, whether you explore the town of Nanaimo, or venture further afield for hikes to waterfalls, a visit to Cathederal Grove for the big trees, or even a day or overnight trip to Tofino for the surf.Kudos to Host Michelle for providing such a comfortable place to rest and recover from each days outing. Thanks for hosting us!Steve CSt Catharines Ontario

This cottage was picture perfect. Our family enjoyed our stay here. It is close to many stores and dining options, but the kitchen is perfect to cook in as well. As others have stated, the landscaping is absolutely beautiful.

We had to be out of our house for 8 nights for some renovations and we were lucky to find Michelles property was available. The cottage was very impressive and in a very quiet area. Highly maintained and very well equipped best describe the property. Would recommend to anyone.
