Wedding Stay

Our son was getting married near Parksville and so we booked this location to be near family staying at other resorts. We also needed enough room to accommodate extended family. We were so happy with the accommodations, how well equipped the place was and the communications with Jennifer. It all exceeded our expectations and the groom and guys ended up using the place to get ready with the photographer. Highly recommended and would love to come back!

Lovely end of summer getaway!

We had a really nice stay at this property. Super clean, lots of space. Cozy place to relax in after a day on the beach or out exploring many of the beautiful lakes/rivers in the area. We'd have no hesitation booking here again or recommending it to others. Would be lovely in winter too.

Great getaway

The cottage was perfect for 3 adult couples. We made dinner two of the nights, and there was everything we needed to do so in the well appointed kitchen. Very clean and comfortable. Good location, close to beach and short drive into Parksville. Communication with host was good. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay.
