Nice Suite
I stayed here while doing a weeklong course in the area. Everything was very nice. The suite is charming and comfortable with a nice shower. Bed was very comfortable to sleep in and the location is central to everything. Would recommend!

May long in BV
Overall, the experience was excellent. The facilities were spot on. Enjoyed having the washer and dryer right in our suite. Only complaint was that the road is being repaired so parking was at a premium. Would suggest our host think about fixing up his walkway from the down the driveway. It's a little precarious
Very cozy suite in the heart of Shawnigan Lake. Great location, perfect for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. Close to coffee shops, restaurants, general store, and walking trails by the lake.

Great Location!
The place was very clean and ready when I got there. A cozy place in a great location. Shawn was fast to reply and easy to deal with.
Very charming decor especially for a suite in the basement of an older home. Everything there that would be needed for a longer stay. Cleanliness of kitchen and bathroom not up to par and was an issue for me. Especially kitchen sink, need to investigate smell that comes from drain when water is turned on.
