Had everything we needed for 5 adults. The deck and propane fire made for beautiful evenings looking out over the ocean. Hot tub was hot and clean! Well equipped kitchen! Made homemade soup and biscuits the first night and chili the second night. Enjoyed a beer in town after hiking to Botanical Beach. Ian was very communicative with important information to make our stay smooth. Great suggestion to get your groceries prior to arrival and to be aware of no cell phone service until you reach wifi at the cabin. Download the map! ##### Susan E.

We found the couch almost unbearable to sit on and the beds lacking comfort as well. There were lots of dusty ceiling corners, but besides that, pretty clean. We also reached out to the host on thr first day asking a question about the wifi and never heard back. ##### Allison Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 27 Sept 2025 #### Er enjoyed The Great house Hi Ian, we enjoyed the time in your great house, it was the last week of our 3 week trip over Vancouver island.
