Cute Suite

Cute suite, suitable for 2 people. All amenities and full kitchen/ supplies. They even left bagels and cream cheese for us. Property owner was quick to respond to messages. As a suggestion I think it needs blinds at the side door. It is private but anyone can just walk up and see in. I also didn’t realize this suite was attached to the house but that may have been my fault reading the listing.

Excellent

We were extremely pleased with our unit and the owners. The only negative, there was no cable TV. There was only apple TV with Netflix. Otherwise, excellent stay.

About the host

Your host

We are friendly, easy going and down to earth people. We love the outdoors, traveling and living every moment as much as possible. We are sure busy people with our kids sports but love being busy. I have lived in Nanaimo for 30yrs and love everything it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This is the dream location to live. The quiet country style of living without the hard work of the farming style. The calmness and beauty of the forest all around us while being involved in the city lifestyle. It is seriously the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

It is your own private stay. Our suite is located on the right side of the house with your own entrance and fenced outdoor area. You come and go without having to have us in your way at all. We are close that if you need anything we can help but you get the vacation without the hassle of hosts in your way.
