Lovely private space. Cute garden area. Very convenient to town businesses and the water. So nice to have coffee, tea and cream handy to start the day, and the bakery around the corner is great. Hoping to stay again when I come back to the island.

Sweet little studio, conveniently located within walking distance of many of Chemainus’s attractions. A great place to stay in the heat of summer as it is nicely shaded.

Property is thoughtfully designed for function and comfort. It was more impressive than the pictures shown. We enjoyed having our coffee, which our host thoughtfully provided with fresh cream,in the side garden. The rainfall shower was huge and the linens were new and fresh. The location was quiet but near the beach and restaurants in the old town. Perfect stay and spot!

Suite was excellent overall, with a lovely private garden and wooden fence, perfect location, lots of windows, and the most comfortable bed and pillows ever! The only issue was quite small in comparison to all the lovely qualities and that is the shower caulking is in need of a refresh. However, I would definitely stay here again in the future. The kitchen and suite was stocked well with necessary equipment, cleaning/bathing products, towels, and bedding.

A charming suite totally in sync with the charm of Chemainus itself. We stayed for three nights as we did lots of visiting in Duncan area with family. This was our quiet haven to relax .

Bright ground floor unit with all the listed amenities, although we ate out for all meals. Coffee and tea available to start the day. We easily walked all around the area. So many murals in the downtown area!! Nice to see the older homes from days gone by. Smaller beach 1/2 block away. Visitor info had good options for things to do in the district.Loved the Chemainus bakery around the corner for 7 am fresh sausage rolls and yummy pastries. Took the old valley highway drive to Merridale Cidery, beautiful property, excellent menu (try the charcuterie) and delish ciders. Many of the local wineries are closed M/Tu. Nice to see smaller towns off the main hwy.

Could not sleep in bed - it was too soft.
We were both ill with the flu but the furniture we could rest on looked like outdoor wicker furniture and not comfortable at all. We left early.

Wonderful little cottage in a quiet community
The check in process was extremely easy. The list ofrequirements and expectations was straight forward and to the point. The mattress was like sleeping like I have never slept. The decor and anesthetic was pleasing. Sue was a delight to deal with and I know when I'm back out this way I will be checking for availability with her property
All very comfortable and easy. I would have been helpful to have instructions on how to program the thermostat.

Sweet suite
Spacious accommodation for two with a fully equipped kitchen which suited our needs. Nice nook/covered seating area in the back which would be great in spring and summer....*my only suggestion would be if you are a light sleeper to bring an eye mask as the sensor light illuminated the space which was unfortunate as I had forgot mine. All in all we enjoyed the space.
