Stay was great, was a long term 3 month stay... and we had no issues of any relevance. Owners were attentive, and very communicative. Would definitely rent there again... and can recommend this location for future prospects.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the moment we walked through the front door our cares melted away. The cottage is set apart in a quiet forested / landscaped area that gives you privacy and great views out every window. This place checks all the boxes. I almost hate to give it this review because I want to keep it for myself. Stay here! You won’t be disappointed.

We enjoyed everything about it. We looked at rebooking in early May but $50/night increase is disappointing. Peaceful & relaxing.

We stayed for three days in late August. The cottage is very new and nicely decorated. The setting is lovely and a short drive to restaurants and any shopping you might need.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would easily choose to stay again. We were visiting family for July in a other part of Lantzville, so used this place as our home base. It was very comfortable and secluded, giving us a quiet place to retreat in the evening. The cottage itself is stylishly decorated and very modern. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to explore this part of the island.

A real gem of a property. The hosts were great to communicate with and went above and beyond to ensure everything was catered for. The cottage is unique and has a lot of character. The location was also perfect for exploring the mid to north of the island. Our kids loved the property also - smart TV, patio area and plenty of places to hide! Highly recommended.

Beautifully decorated and immaculate. We loved the kitchen (very well stocked with new utensils etc) and the fireplace was perfect to curl up in front of and watch a movie. 5 stars!

We found a very nice cottage with perfect equipment in new condition. We were delighted with the wonderful and very well-kept outdoor area and the plants.
It is an absolutely quiet location with excellent connections to the infrastructure of Nanaimo and Lantzville.
For us it was a great starting point for excursions to beaches, waterfalls, hikes or whale watching tours. The nearest supermarket is 5 minutes away, the ferry 20 minutes.

The property was immaculate. Very clean and well appointed. The robes in the closet were a very nice touch too!
We really appreciated the quiet neighborhood atmosphere. I would definitely book here again and will be recommending to friends and family!

This cute little cottage nestled in the trees was an amazing place to stay. It was like a 5 star hotel and it had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the private patio with a bbq. We sat out and drank our wine and barbecued 5 out of 7 nights. It was 30 plus degrees during our stay but the cottage was very comfortable. This location is very accessible to all amenities in Nanaimo. We visit Nanaimo multiple times a year and look forward to staying again.

We had the best time at the Cottage! We stayed there for 3 night with our little family, including 2 children 5 and under.
The house was sparkling clean and so thoughtful decorated and furnished! It is cozy and comfortable.
We enjoyed BBQing and eating outside, loved seating on the patio listening to the birds while the kiddos were playing. The location is so quiet and peaceful, yet only minutes away from all major stores and highways.
We definitely wish we had stayed there longer and would love to go back. Feeling very privileged that we had the chance to stay at the cottage!

We had the most wonderful time in our eight day stay in this cottage in the woods. It is a beautiful place. It is new, with every detail as luxurious as can be. It was immaculately clean, serenely quiet, and equipped with everything you could need. Although it is tucked away in the beautiful forest, it is only minutes away from major roads, shopping and restaurants, and the scenic harbour and hiking trails of Nanaimo, and the places of interest from Duncan up to Parksville. We could not have been more delighted with this accommodation.

Michelle was amazing at giving us all the information we needed. She also gave us recommendations of fun towns in the area to visit.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have stayed an extra night had we been able to get a spot going back to Vancouver on the ferry.
Michelle was more than happy to assist us had that been the case.
Everything you could possibly need is thought of in this lovely tucked away home.
Thank you again!
