Our 38-day stay at The Two Dogs Inn was amazing. Val and Paul provided unparalleled hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcomed and at home. This was our best VRBO experience yet. We brought along our 12+ year-old Yellow Lab, Roxy. Val and Paul were fantastic with her, and Roxy was always thrilled to spend time with them. We were pleasantly surprised to find supplies (eggs, milk, breakfast cereals, treats for Roxy, and more) waiting for us – a thoughtful touch we hadn’t encountered at other VRBO properties. The accommodation had everything we needed. It was impeccably clean, the bed was comfortable, and the warm shower had excellent water pressure. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the kitchen well-equipped. The fenced grounds were stunning and a great place to relax. At one point, we mentioned that the TV was on the small side for reading show descriptions. The very next day, Val and Paul replaced it with a brand new 55” HD model. Their attentiveness and responsiveness were truly outstanding. The location, on the other side of the bay from Highway 1, is rural and peaceful. We spent many hours on the deck, reading, sipping wine, and trying to capture the perfect photo of the many hummingbirds. Val and Paul’s local insights allowed us to explore the area to the fullest. We particularly enjoyed visiting nearby beaches, perfect for leisurely walks with Roxy. We look forward to our next visit to the island – The Two Dogs Inn is undoubtedly our first choice for accommodation.

Once again, a peaceful and relaxing stay at a beautiful location, and with great hosts:)

Once again, great owners and a great property = a great stay! Will do it again:)

We loved staying at the Two Dogs Inn! Very clean, cozy suite with all our necessities provided, hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable! Beautiful + peaceful area, lots to do close by in Ladysmith (stores, coffee, etc.). Hosts were very welcoming and helpful with any extra things we needed, and any questions we had about travelling! We enjoyed our stay, and hope to return!

This is such a great place! The property is beautiful, and Val and Paul are very friendly and really go above and beyond to make your stay great. I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

The property was as advertised. The hosts were warm, friendly and accommodating. There were wonderful touches throughout the suite such as bowls of chocolate, a welcoming vase of flowers and a fridge stocked with bread, butter, eggs, yogurt etc. I especially enjoyed the lovely garden, complete with a grape arbour seating area. Captain, the lovely dog, and the super friendly cat were the icing on the cake.

Valerie and Paul are wonderful hosts and now friends I will visit every time I am on the island. Their property is wonderful, the apartment is everything you could ask for, and it was stocked with some food and water and other necessities that you don’t ever see in a rental. Most of all, I enjoyed sharing time and stories with Paul and Valerie while Captain guarded us and the property. I had a wonderful stay and look forward to staying there again and visiting with the best hosts ever.

Val and Paul are wonderful hosts and have their suite set up very nicely. They are very gracious and friendly and have numerous amenities including fresh farm eggs for breakfast! The barbecue came in handy as well!

Val saw to the details that make a stay a memory. Her energy and graciousness reflected the beauty of the property.

This Vacation let us for 3 weeks nearly forget our home, The fantastic hosts Valery and Paul are so good-hearted and friendly so that we hope to see them again. The accomodation was as well as described. We found all things we needed to feel well and home-like. The several things in the kitchen and the fridge where so valuable to bridge a gap. Located is the property that you can reach all interessting thing at Vancouver Island very easely. A very importend mentioning are the two housemates "Captain" and "Lucky" (Dog and Cat). Both are so very kind and complementary to the landlords that we never forget these faithful animals. We hope to see these four lovely guys again. Many, many thanks for these fair and beautiful hollidays. Kind regards Ulrike and Holger

Wonderful, beautiful, stunning, fully supplied, gracious owners.

What a wonderful, slightly off-the-beaten-track location on Vancouver Island! The hosts (and their two dogs) are some of the most welcoming and hospitable people. A well-stocked kitchen, a wonderful in-unit sauna, a warm and comfy bed, and all of it close to the charming towns of Ladysmith and Chemainus - what more could you ask for? We will surely look to stay here again next time we're in the area - thank you!

The property was lovely, quiet and just what we needed for a short stay in Ladysmith visiting family. Very well equipped, complete with breakfast fixings. Hosts were gracious and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Second stay, and looking forward to a third! Great hosts along with the Captain and Ruby:)

Yeah +

Our stay with Val and Paul was very enjoyable. We stayed one week and lacked for nothing. Fully equiped kitchen and a very comfortable bed. It is in a beautiful rural setting close to Ladysmith and many great trails. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place to stay and relax. Large suite and lovely patio to enjoy a glass of wine. Amazing hosts - loved hearing their stories. And if you need a book (or two!) to read they’ve got you covered. Thanks Val and Paul.

Val and Paul were great hosts. Very knowledgeable. The suite was clean and very well stocked with a variety of breakfast choices including eggs, yogurt, English muffins and cereals. A pleasant surprise. Would recommend this place to everyone. Looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the pool and a glass of wine with our hosts.

The title sums it up:) Clean, quiet with great owners. Highly recommend!

My time with Valerie and Paul was limited due to my schedule. It would have been easy to hang out and enjoy their company on this beautiful property

We had a wonderful week at Two Dogs Inn. Our hosts, Val and Paul, couldn’t have done anything more to make us feel comfortable, welcome and appreciated. Their beautiful dogs, Captain and Ruby, were happy to greet us every day (I’m sure it had nothing to do with the cookies they love so much)! The suite is large, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It was also stocked with many food and drink surprises! Two Dogs is in a peaceful rural setting yet just a short drive from Ladysmith and many beautiful and varied hiking trails. We’re so glad we discovered Two Dogs Inn!

Val and Paul did everything possible to make our stay a wonderful experience. The fridge was stocked with supplies and treats when we arrived. There was a beautiful yard look at as you sit under an arbour of grape vines with fresh grapes to nibble on. (Not available throughout the year🙂) Val even sent us off with a fresh loaf of sourdough bread! 😋

This was a perfect space! We are traveling for our daughters wedding, and it gave us a bit of time away, to also give her some space. We totally loved the thought and details put into this space. It was excellent! Nothing missed. We had some downtime, and rest from road tripping and from business. Our three nights went too soon, and I wasn't ready to leave. The outside seating in the evenings was a perfect way for us to end our days and the doggie visits were fun. The space is quiet, private and spacious. There was everything we needed, and it was the absolute perfect respite for us, from our busy lives! Can't say enough!

We enjoyed this perfect get away from our busy urban lives properly. The self contained suite is quiet and clean and provides for everything you need. The garden facing patio for private use offers lush, green views and, if you sit still, some hummingbirds show up and will greet you :) A lovely cove and beach, wonderful walks and the beautiful Nanaimo river are close by. Valerie and Paul are fabulous hosts and their dogs Ruby and Captain are fun to be with. This was the perfect place for us to stay and recharge during our one week holiday in the Nanaimo area.

The unit is the lower level of the owners home and is spacious and well equipped. Snacks and other modest provisions, kitchen supplies, comfortable seating and eating areas are provided indoors, and there is a wonderful shaded sitting area outside. Valerie and Paul are very generous and friendly hosts, and their two dogs are very simpatico with guests! The location is in the Yellow Point area and there are little beach parks around the peninsula, a great outdoor pub/restaurant (the Crow and Gate), and hiking areas (Holland Creek, Heart Lake) nearby. Not to mention Cafe Plantitude in town!

Very close to town, very quiet, very large, very well stocked pantry, very comfortable bed, we were very grateful for the furnace at 7 am ish even though we did not ask, Paul and Val are very warm hosts. Will stay again Bev and Sid Fort Sask AB

From welcoming us, providing information on the suite/yard, sharing information on the area and showing interest in our adventures it was like staying with a loving family. Hope to come back

Great place, amazing people, very friendly dogs. We enjoyed staying in this place very much.

The unit is the basement suite of the host's house. It is located in a quite rural area a few kilometers from Ladysmith. It was very clean and well equipped and the hosts were very welcoming and accommodating.

Paul and Val were great hosts, making sure everything was perfect, and chatting about plans and previous trips. They were assisted by Captain and Ruby, their Pyrenees Mountain dogs, who are the most friendly dogs even if they are quite large. The suite was spotlessly clean, well furnished, lots of space and being supplied with very fresh eggs was a bonus. We enjoyed being able to sit and eat outside everyday under the vine-covered pergola, and be visited by the two dogs.

The accommodations were very clean, cozy and spacious. Kitchen was very well equipped and the extras that the owners provided such as fresh eggs, bread, snacks, etc. was very thoughtful and greatly appreciated. It was a great location. The backyard and deck was a great place to sit and relax. Val and Paul were great hosts. Last but not least, the two dogs Captain and Ruby and the cat Lookie were great to visit with. Definitely would stay there again the next time we are in the area.

Great landlords
