Nancy and Brad were friendly and wonderful. The suite is clean and spacious and they have thought of everything. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed even muffins and croissants and fresh fruits and snacks. We highly recommend this vacation spot. Beautiful, relaxing and quiet.

Perfect Getaway

Spacious suite with all we needed for a two night friends getaway. We enjoyed the covered deck with a view of the property. We brought our e-bikes and went to the Kinsol Trestle and surrounding areas. Host was friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to book here again!

Shawnigan stay

My sister and I stayed for two nights. Nancy and Brad are very thoughtful hosts with the breakfast supplies and snacks they put together before our arrival. Check in was easy and the space was bigger than expected. Location is close to Merridale and Unsworth as well as places to swim.

Wonderful Shawnigan Retreat

Spent two nights at the property with my husband. Our hosts, Nancy and Brad, were so kind and hospitable. We got freshly made muffins, bread and a fridge stocked with eggs from their chickens, milk, yogurt and juice. The accommodations were spacious, clean and felt like home away from home. We fed the alpacas and chatted with the hosts. Great stay and can’t say enough good things about Nancy and Brad. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful!

Shawnigan oasis

From the moment we walked in the property was beautiful, and tranquil. Everything was provided from farm fresh eggs to muffins delivered in the morning still warm. The care, and attention to guest experience was evident in the details around the space. Our daughter loved the animals on the property. (we even got a chance to feed them!) We will definitely be returning.
