I don’t understand some bad reviews . Breakfast is different every day, very healthy and good. Host is very gently person, he is very accommodating on our request. Everything is perfect. The view is incredible

Honestly I don’t understand the bad reviews . Host is the most kind person I have am ever met. Just stay here three days , this place is amazing, the view is unique and the breakfast in included with eggs, waffles and fruits. Never found in my life a peaceful and a silence place like this . The price is right for have a view with private free access to the lake and a room with jacuzzi. You have even kayak and canoe for free .

I can’t believe all the good reviews that people have written about this place. The decorations were the most bazaar things ever. The common room still has a Christmas tree and gigantic snowman up and it’s the end of June big red deer on the lawn and Christmas lights are still on display. Ridiculous for a summer holiday. They really need someone to come and design this place as the location is awesome the decorations are awful.

Avoid! I don't write negative reviews unless necessary. On first blush, things looked good, if not a bit odd, with the fake flowers and all. However, the breakfasts were not good, to say the least, as the other reviews note. And, with a power outage, the help we received was laughable at best, with the manager who lived upstairs giving us one tea light candle. The main reason for this negative review is that the jacuzzi tub was mouldy and should have been cleaned. The prices is high. Also, the bed and pillows make it challenging to sleep. And to other reviews, the management is different from what it must have been before the sale.

Beautiful place to get away for the weekend! Complimentary breakfast and coffee served every morning, gorgeous lakeside views. Owners are very sweet, they live upstairs in the property but it's a rarity you run into them so the suites seem very private! Paddle board, canoes and life jackets! Hot tub was beautiful at night Would definitely stay again!!

Every moment of our stay was fabulous. We loved our view, breakfast was wonderful and we loved our suite. This is not a 5 star hotel, it’s an B&B on a lake. Exceptional value for your money. Wonder hosts. We will be back.

Please note, I ALWAYS try to write the best review I can as I trust those that write for the rest of us. The ONE BEST thing about our stay (July 2022), was the gardens and the location - absolutely beautiful. It is our understanding that the new owner, Si, has owned this B & B for just over a year. He DOES not live on site and in fact, lives in Victoria, over 1.5 hrs away. His brother, wife and child live there, they do not speak English well but were very kind. The past owners obviously took a lot of pride in the B & B as they built what it is today. Sadly, it seems as though the new owner doesn't take the same pride. We had the largest of the three suites (but did meet the other two couples staying there & they had similar issues). It was VERY hot during our stay, thankfully there is AC. We had a few issues which we brought to Si's attention when we checked and he basically said 'thank you for the feedback, we will use to it improve future guests stays,' but he did not remedy the issues. A few things we experienced and a few things to share with those considering this B & B: This should be an AirBnB - because of the difference in culture (I do not blame those looking after us for this, but the owner should know better), the breakfast was not what you would offer in Canada.... Hot dogs cooked in a frying pan, chicken soup, sweet toast, fake eggs... The one thing that was nice, was a small bowl of fresh fruit. No juice, cream for coffee, no cereal, etc. If he moves to an AirBnB, then provide some proper kitchen basics.... We had a couple of pieces of mix matched cutlery, no paper towel, no tea towels, no glasses at all even although there is a very small kitchen. The hot tub - had an out of order sign on and looked like it had been there a while. Perhaps let your guests know this as this is one reason we stayed. Si said nothing even after bringing this to our attention. The bathroom was not very clean when we arrived and there was still toothpaste around the sink, I cleaned before we used it. The mini bar fridge had SO MUCH ice built up on it that you couldn't put anything in it, including ice. Again, Si said, 'I will tell my brother,' but nothing changed. The bed was comfortable and there was a closet but no drawers for clothes (we travel light). The décor, well, it was something else, some curtains were facing out, some in and with a little attention to detail, this stuff could look great and not thrown together. There were $ store flowers everywhere with the $ store tags still stuck on them; I have no issue with the $ store, but try to tastefully decorate. Cost - WAY over priced for what you receive. This is NOT a place for elderly folks to go and certainly NOT those with big suitcases, you have to turn sideways to get between the garage and the path to take you down the LONG stairs as there is a grotto walk through, a large suitcase on wheels would not fit. Garbage and recycling - there is NO indication where or how to sort garbage and recycling, this is important in today's world. While we did enjoy our stay for the most part, I am glad that I booked this in 2021 for our son's wedding in Nanaimo at the old rate (which Si honored) as had we paid the regular new updated prices, I would have been VERY disappointed. A little pride in ownership goes a long way, understanding the culture and food in the country you host a B & B would go a LONG way for the guests staying there. It simply should not be a B & B, but if it becomes an Airbnb, then more amenities must be added to the tiny kitchen. Lastly, there was a brand new beautiful BBQ in the common patio area by the lake that we all assumed we could use, however, when the other guests asked if it was ok to use it (and they had brought BBQ food), they were told by Si, it was not for guest use. If you consider this place, know the owner doesn't live there and actually didn't seem to care about any of our concerns other than a few extra towels.

Not a good place to stay.

Fantastic location! Very nice landlords!

This was the most disappointing place we have ever stayed. The only part of the place that was even slightly the same as the web site photos and other booking sites photos was the view of the lake out of the window. Even this was marred by the giant reindeer ornament that was lit up right outside our window (it's July, Xmas decorations at this time of year are just a no go for an ostensibly 5 star place) which spoiled the sunset view. THE ROOM: The room we stayed in did not have a 4 poster bed with flowing draperies, the bed linens had an odd smell and were not particularly nice, the bed was so loud when turning over we never slept soundly, the wicker chairs at the glass table in front of the window were broken (and the lovely glass table you see in the photos which lends an airiness to the room was covered with a really bad table cloth), mold in the shower, a grubby looking sponge with dish soap in a container by the sink for washing dishes (and the container also had a used bar of soap in it for hand washing - found it under the grubby sponge - yuck), cotton swabs and cotton pads "presented" in plastic bags under the hair dryer when there were acrylic containers for these which would have presented better, over size bottles of dove shampoo and conditioner (again not very 5 star), in room coffee had no creamer, sugar cubes in a box instead of individual packets, coffee also not in individual packets which felt unhygienic in a post covid world. "Flowers" in the room were faux and bad faux at that which detracted even more from the overall feel of the room. The single bed in the room was a pull out with a 1" piece of foam. No bedding was provided for this even though we booked our room for 2 adults and a child. When we asked for bedding the owner / manager looked confused but eventually brought a pillow. We again asked for sheets and a blanket which was eventually provided. And as per other comments, there was a lot of noise from the owner / manager space upstairs with very loud footsteps, piano playing, cupboards opening / closing waking us up all 3 mornings we stayed there. COMMON AREA/DINING: more Xmas decorations including a tree and a giant snow man (in July!). Dining table held cutlery that was dirty, open ketchup bottle left out all day and night. And again, don't be fooled by any photos from years ago of the food. Food was served in the common area and was cold. 1st breakfast included 2 pieces of overcooked bacon, a cooked hotdog, eggs, white toast drizzled with creamy honey - all cold despite coming from the kitchen just up the stairs and we were at that table when it was served. Breakfast not being to our expectations, we advised by email that we would not need breakfast the next day. Nevertheless, they served it anyway. This time is was a home made, ethnic soup and fruit - hard pass for us as soup is just not a breakfast food for us. OUTDOOR SPACE: too much furniture on the dock, lots of astro-turf, planters needing care and deadheading, hot tub "out of service" and looks like it's been that way for quite some time, very narrow walkway to get to rooms making it tricky with luggage (not much they can do about that since there is a rock cliff right next to the path but it's not very good for people with mobility issues), parking for 3 vehicles (3 rooms) is very tight and you need to back out up the road quite a ways in order to get out. Buyer beware on this one. We read reviews that were really great but failed to notice that the reviews are from a few years ago. This place is definitely under new owners with a different aesthetic and concept of 5 star / luxury.

Extremely disappointed!! Traveled for 2 days to get to the island booking on the way and was very pleased to find this bnb was available ( booking online) finally arrived to a very confused man telling me they were totally booked he gave me a phone number to the owner who was equally confused saying that there was no way I booked for the same day because he was booked he continued to tell me that there must have been a glitch to his website and was sorry but there was nothing he could do for me so after traveling for many hours I had to find a hotel after thinking I was getting a luxury bnb super disappointed would never recommend!

We had a very good stay here .spent a very relaxing long weekend chilling by the water . The complimentary kayaks and paddle boards were so much fun . Will highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax
