Linda's communication was excellent. The house was cozy, and met the needs of a relaxing retreat with my bookclub. Would definitely stay here again

Linda was nice and helpful in communications. Hot tub was nice. Some of the beds were a bit thin on the mattress. The beach was nearby and nice to take photos at, but not a large long sandy beach. The house was well layed out, the fireplace kept things toasty, and the kitchen was well stocked. Overall lovely stay for a boys board game getaway.

This home was lovely! We had such a lovely time here. A highlight was the wood fireplace and the amazing BBQ. The weather was rainy, so we never got to enjoy the hottub, but we had a great time anyhow.

Great for families! We went with another couple and their kids after a couple days in Vancouver. Very private location, but only 15 minute drive to the main strip with restaurants, kayaking, shops.

We had a great time. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. We loved the cosy log cabin feel about the house on a rainy day. Having power outlets just outside the garage where the car was meant to park was really helpful for a level 1 charge that our car needed. We look forward to coming back!

If you are looking for a cozy cottage in the woods, this is the place for you. Other people stay in the property but all the property guidelines are easy to understand and follow. The hot tub is a great feature but so is the beach only a few minute drive away.

The stay was immaculate! Easy to follow the instructions provided by the host. The area becomes quiet during the night which allows everyone to just embrace the solitude around them. Lot of space to keep to yourselves or can get cozy in the living room.

Great weekend getaway!

We had a great family getaway at Linda’s place. Check in was super easy and the place has everything you need. There’s multiple beaches within walking distance. The BBQ was great and we enjoyed eating on the patio and spending time on the sun soaked deck. Peakaboo view of the water. Would recommend!

Weekend getaway

A lovely property that feels like you're staying amongst the tree tops. A lot of beds for biggers groups means everyone gets a bed. And the BBQ on the deck makes feeding said large groups easy. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Home - Great for Any Occasion!

My friends and I booked this home for a bachelorette weekend and were more than pleased with not only the home itself but the hosts quick response & easy to follow instructions. The beds were comfortable, home was clean and had plenty of space. I would recommend this place for any occasion whether it be for a bachelorette or family weekend away - I will be booking here again in the future!
