It was easy to book and good contact with the owners. Had everything we needed. Our two year old wasn’t sure what to think of the life sized skeletons at first but he got used to them quickly and found them funny. The bed was very comfy and the patio was lovely for morning tea and breakfast. We would stay again ##### Nicole P.

We appreciated the haunted house theme as that kept it memorable. I was able to easily walk to the shopping center in 10 minutes, though I stopped often to take pictures of the lake and setting. I doubt I ever get back to Vancouver from Ohio, but if I did, would definitely stay here again. ##### Janet H.

Not a big fan of the "Hunted House" decoration though. The stove fan was very loud. Outside deck was a bonus! Enjoyed having coffee there in the morning. It was a pleasant stay over all. Thank you! ##### M K.

It was very clean. We loved the Halloween theme and the views of the lake. Easy self check in. My only suggestion is for the sofa bed. It was quite uncomfortable and could use an update or pillow topper. I was glad it was my kids on there and not me! ##### Mandy K. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phoebe Z. 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The place is amazing We stayed in this place for one night when I took my family to visit Nanaimo. It’s a cozy and nice place with super nice view. The decoration is special. My son had to ask me to cover the skeleton at night because he said he’s a little bit scared of them. 😂 The location is very convenient as well. In all, I give 100% recommend of the place to anyone who is going to visit Nanaimo. ##### Phoebe Z. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jess A. 28 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy with a view We stayed here for 6 days while getting settled into our new home. After driving across the country, this was the perfect place. It backs onto a gorgeous landscape of lake and mountain ranges, and feels a bit like a cabin, with the viewing deck being my most favourite part. The privacy is unmatched, as no one can really see in with the way it's situated. All amenities you could possibly need, and quite spacious for the two of us. Comfy beds, soft sheets, quality pillows. The couch is big and cozy for two. We found it to be very quiet, and we didn't have any issues with dog toys dropping above us. In fact, the dog was quite sweet and friendly! Great spot, and will absolutely recommend to friends and family when they visit! ##### Jess A. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl B. 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Really clean but too dark for us. The property was clean and the kitchen was very well appointed. The property was too dark for us (but we like lots of light) - it is the bottom level of a house with windows facing only south under a large deck for the upper level sticking out several feet from the house. However the view once out on the patio (also under the deck) was lovely. We thought from the pictures in the listing that it had more light. There was not much sound barrier between the suite and upstairs - the people upstairs were not overly loud but we could hear their TV well. The skeleton bride and groom in the living room were a little creepy for us, but would be absolutely perfect for hallowe'en fans. ##### Cheryl B.

Everything we needed was there. The pullout couch mattress did not inflate so was not useable. The property is to host 4; without the couch that made it only two. We reached out to host via vrbo site for advice on couch but did not hear back. Our daughter and her partner had driven from Victoria to join us but then went to a local hotel instead when we discovered the challenge with the pullout couch. Kitchen and bathroom clean and well stocked. While the Halloween themed decorations would have been fun in October, it seemed a bit out of place for May. Just a thought. ##### Jo-Anne K.
