This is by far the most peaceful and serene property I have ever experienced. It is situated on a beautiful river in the middle of the forest at Shawnigan Lake. It is rustic, but charming and very comfortable.
Ezio - the owner was very welcoming! You greet him at his house, which is just down the road from the retreat. He will give you a property tour and explain in detail where everything is located. There is a stage, a meditation area fire pit, and many other outdoor amenities. It is such a beautiful place!
The reason for my visit was for a surprise birthday party. We had about 8 people total, but this house could easily accommodate more. There are so many rooms with so many beds. The indoor sauna was amazing! The hot tub location is great, but it definitely needs to be cleaned after every visit!
I believe that all of the water provided to the house is from the river, so as you can imagine, the hot tub looks and feels dirty. There was a lot of debris in the hot tub and it was a dark green color. It also had a funky smell. With it being warm water it was a breeding ground for bacteria. I would say that this was the only complaint that I had for the trip.
Thanks again Ezio!
Kind regards,
Todd & Sasha
