Great setting
Lovely peaceful property, yet close to shawnigan lake village. The host made some great sightseeing recommendations before we left. Would stay again at this property
Wonderful host. Brad was very helpful and friendly. Beautiful property. Fresh fruits, farm fresh eggs, muffins, coffee, milk and extras to nibble on. We loved our stay! We will be back.

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.
Love this property - we are repeat customers for the hospitality and comfort! The apartment has everything you could need and the hosts are lovely.

Never disappoints
Have stayed multiple times here and always a very comfortable stay.
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!
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.

Super clean and spacious walkout basement suite with beautiful view.
Online description was very accurate and the host and hostess clearly care for their property. I had the added bonus of fresh baked muffins delivered as a checkin surprise. Top drawer place all around.
