Cozy Lakeside Retreat

Escape to this peaceful and cozy one-bedroom suite located in the rural community of Extension, just outside of Nanaimo, BC. Nestled on a private lake with direct dock access, only 5 other homes have access to the lake. This lakeside retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and privacy. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing getaway or a quiet long-term stay, this suite has everything you need. Inside, you’ll find a kitchen, a comfortable living room, a private bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with a queen-sized bed. The suite also includes Wi-Fi, heating, and air conditioning, making it a great year-round option. Step outside to enjoy stunning views, walking trails, and the calm, swimmable lake just steps from your door. The area is rich in natural beauty, surrounded by trees and wildlife, making it perfect for outdoor lovers, remote workers, or anyone seeking peace and quiet. The suite is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry companion along to enjoy the space. Despite the rural setting, you’re only a 10–15 minute drive from Nanaimo’s shops, grocery stores, and restaurants, giving you the best of both worlds—privacy and convenience. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the dock, swimming in the lake, or cozying up inside with your pet and a good book, this tranquil lakeside suite is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay.
