    It's a bit out of the way of amenities and such but really not a big deal as long as you have a vehicle.

    Loved the location in the forest, the do it yourself breakfast, our room looking out into the forest (it was snowing the morning we woke up, beautiful fluffy flakes) and 2 person hot tub with a starry night view deep in the woods was unreal. Also loved the unique gym/studio!

    We feel that the spa aspect was more limited than expected, partly due to water shortages, and that the cost was a bit high given that the spa was less than it sounded like in the advertising. We think the 'down-home' quality is a very good handle. On another topic, we recommend getting a couple of skillets that conduct heat better.

    We appreciated the 'rustic' feel and enjoyed the communal space (though we shared with only one other couple!). It reminded us of other positive experiences traveling.

    Tucked away in the Westcoast Rainforest, very secluded location for a quiet getaway. The hosts are very compassionate and were attentive to my special needs. The bed was comfortable and breakfast choices were good, especially the blueberry scones!

    I liked the options available to create our own breakfast. We made waffles and enjoyed the strawberries and bananas provided to go with it. We really enjoyed the sauna and steam room. Everything was very clean and the Eukalyptus spray was refreshing.

    We had a great stay, though some parts of the suites are not as sound proof as other, but this didn't bother us as other guest were quiet and respectful.

    Loved the shared kitchen with the amazing breakfast! The place was really clean and facilitiea comfortable - they thought of everything to make the stay convinient (robes, slippers, hooks, fully equipped kitchen, etc). It is about 15min drive from the "downtown" area and easy to get around. The spa facility is a great way to unwind at the end of the day.

    The first floor bedroom was cozy but if we did not have the lower section with the extra bed and couch, it would have been too small for 2 people. There was only two small chairs in that room. I would always book that room with the additional section.

    Every home needs were available. The kitchen was fully equipped and the fridge had enough supplies to make life easier. The beds were comfortable. The steam room was hot. The cold outdoor shower was cold. Things were aged but well maintained.

    We expected a traditional hot tub but adjusted our expectations and enjoyed bathing under the awesome trees.

    My daughter and I loved our stay and would have stayed longer if time had permitted. Danica and Eryk were very helpful and welcoming. The kitchen was a great feature with all of the essentials provided. The coffee in the morning and the meal set out was more than what we needed. Loved the farm fresh eggs option! I also loved the sauna and steam room. Sunset beach was a dream.

    This property was very clean with amazing bed and sheets. Great breakfast choices with local food and well equipped kitchen.
