I did not have a chance to meet our host, Carla, but she must have wings. We asked if we could check in early so we could go back to Saturday at Butchart Gardens. She made that happen. Then we changed our mind as it was too long of a trip. I asked if we could check in late because I did not want to disturb her, and she said "no problem". My friend and I stayed at several places on our trip and they were all the same: shiny new appliances, and furniture but little else. Walking into Carla's place felt like home. Not as "modern" as some places, but very comfortable with a big deck that has a view of the morning sunrise, Many places to sit and read, a desk with a view, and a comfortable welcome with towels on each bed. We like to cook some nights and most places have salt and pepper and perhaps an almost empty bottle of oil. Carla's herb and seasonings made me want to cook a big meal and invite the neighbors. We visited during Labour Day weekend and most people went to the west side, we decided to go to the east side and loved it. More of a community feel and would have liked to spend more time at places like Transfer Beach Park near Ladysmith.

Lovely home, fabulous view, great location to head either north or south. Lots of space. very quiet

Nice clean and spacious property in quiet area. Host was friendly and available. Only tiny downside was ocean view is partially obstructed by garage but upside was huge patio/deck to relax in. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous view, amazing clean right down to the shine on the taps. Beautiful house with so much attention to detail. Would definitely stay again

A wonderful place to stay---great hosts, great view, well-appointed and equipped house including bath and kitchen details. . .everything available for convenience and comfort! Loved it. Take in the nearby Pacific Raptor Centre for an extraordinary closeup with hawks, owls, falcons!

The property is just perfect for your family. Clean, comfortable beds, spacious, good wifi, carport for your vehicle, easy to follow check out instructions. The view from the deck is unmatched. Everything you need is there. Definitely recommend!

Our party of two couples enjoyed staying at this lovely, comfortable home in a quiet neighbourhood not far from the heart of Chemainus. It was spacious and well-equipped, and the hosts were very congenial. We enjoyed a day walking nearby trails (Askew Park, Wul'aam Park, Stocking Creek Trail) and another day exploring the town of Chemainus, including an evening at Chemainus Theatre. This home was a wonderful base for our North Cowichan getaway.

We loved our stay in Chemainus - the space worked so well for our working retreat. Beautiful views, walking trail nearby. Thanks Carla and Kyle!
