Loved the experience
Cozy little place with suprisingly lots of privacy. We loved all the little details in the place. 2-3 minutes walk to a beautiful lake where you can go for a quick dip. Elizabeth was super hospitable and helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place for some down time and disconnect.

We enjoyed our stay here. It's just the transition stay we needed between tofino and going back to the real world. Simple room with a nice view of trees. The lake is very close and we had a nice early morning swim before taking off.

Perfect lil oasis!
We only stayed here one night but wished we could have stayed longer! Such a cute and cozy spot and super close to the water to catch a beautiful sunset. We hope to be back!
