The place was great. It was super clean, centrally located, and had a gorgeous view over the lake. It was a pleasure to sit on the patio and enjoy a coffee and book as the sun came up.
Very clean, quiet & loaded with anything you may need for a comfortable stay. The Halloween vibe was very cool & the view over the lake in the morning was great.
Great Location! Stayed for a short visit with family, provided just the right about of amenities and comfort. Friendly owner, and was able to assist quickly. Unique Halloween theme made it fun, and I will definitely be booking again, way better than staying overnight with your parents.
Great location and well-equipped for a longer stay.The property is in a very convenient location, close to amenities and easy to access. Parking was straightforward and more than adequate for my vehicle.The kitchen was well stocked. The coffee setup and other kitchen essentials were especially appreciated during my extended stay. The bathroom and shower were very clean, and there were plenty of towels provided. The laundry was convenient and worked well. The TV setup was excellent, with access to Netflix, Prime, and YouTube, which was a nice bonus in the evenings.The view is beautiful, and the deck looks like a lovely space to enjoy, although the weather didn’t allow me to use it much during my stay.At times, some noise from upstairs could be heard, but it was always quiet during reasonable hours and never disruptive overnight. The bed was a firmer than I’m used to, but that comes down to personal preference.Overall, this was a comfortable and well-maintained place to stay, and I would recommend it to others looking for a convenient and well-equipped rental.
The property was exactly as described. Nice and clean and all the essentials in the kitchen. The hosts were very responsive to questions and everything was clearly communicated (from the check-in process to labelling of the various garbage and recycling bins). Highly recommend.
Great area, right off the main coastal highway. Had everything I needed. Easy parking.

This was a very beautiful, neat, quaint, well-stocked accommodation with a lovely view and the hosts were communicative and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay here and were able to relax and wind down at the end of each day.
A lovely, well equiped apartment with the bonus of a beautiful view from the balcony. Air conditioning unit outside was a little noisy and may disturb light sleepers.
Our favorite Nanaimo stay yet! Beautiful view of Long Lake from the patio. Fun homey vibe, comfy beds, lots of hot water and had everything else we needed! Would love to stay here again!
Great communication from the hosts and a pleasure to deal with. Great value and walkable distance to some amenities. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Thanks Craig and Tricia!
