This place was great! Super clean and comfortable, in a quiet part of Duncan. Lots of stuff to do in the area, and everything feels pretty close or is at least easily accessible. Lots of little touches, like ground local coffee and cocoa, made our stay feel special. Check in and out procedures were extremely easy, which is always a plus, and Christina was super communicative.

Good location in Duncan in a quiet neighborhood. No cooking other than a barbecue and a microwave. Mini fridge on floor in a corner requires being on your knees to use. Presents well, very comfy king bed.

Gretchen, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear our quiet neighbourhood and the king-size bed met your needs. Regarding the kitchenette, we understand that cooking facilities would have been a welcome addition. As noted and portrayed in our listing, Studio Cedar Guest Cottage is equipped with a mini fridge, BBQ, electric kettle, coffee maker, Bodum, and blender. We have a renovation planned that includes an upgrade to a full kitchen, and once it's complete, we'll update our listing to reflect the new indoor cooking facilities. We hope you'll consider staying with us again when that time comes!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Hamill

Host profile image
I love relaxing and being active in nature. I enjoy time with family & friends, doing yoga, walking, hiking, cycling, camping, paddle boarding, and swimming in rivers, lakes and oceans. When I travel, I like to be in discovery mode rather than plan everything. Both nature and travel inspire my photography and poetry writing.

What makes this property unique

Whether walking or driving, our property is in very close proximity to nature and downtown Duncan. The private fenced and treed yard provides a secluded space to relax, BBQ and eat outdoors.
