Close to Courtenay but a very quiet area. Looking forward to another getaway! ##### Cheryl M. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle A.

Kate’s suite had everything we needed for our stay. Close to town and biking but it feels like you are in the country. Backs onto water and walking trail. My dog Chloe loved it also and enjoyed Kate’s dog Cleo. Thank you for your hospitality. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/745e7a31-e554-4d6a-afae-d2da96ac2c14-1746730494816.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michelle A.

The location is unbelievable. Right on the ocean path. You can get to the mall in Courtenay through it, so I walked a few times with my son to Cobb's. The other way leads to a famous coffee shop, a bit on the expensive side, but the pastries are to die for. Coffee could be amazing, but I wouldn't know. I spent almost my entire time when we weren't away outside, staring at the water and the herons. Lots of space outside where you can find shade and a comfy chair or table.Whatever we needed we just had to ask. Kate even washed and folded our laundry! ##### Georgiana P.

We spent a lovely 3 nights at Kate’s property, and enjoyed every minute! We loved walking the seaside path right at the foot of the yard, and had the best sleep in ages! Had a wee problem with the fire alarm going off a couple of times, but she is trying to get this sorted.We cooked most of our meals in, and found the kitchen well equipped, and it was wonderful sitting under the grape arbor with a glass of wine every afternoon! We will definitely book again when we head up island in the future! ##### Debbie B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corrie A.

Great attention to little details and loved the owner’s artwork. Thoroughly enjoyed the lovely walk with our dog on the riverside trail behind the property. ##### Corrie A.

Host was there to greet us and easily reached at anytime. Can only imagine how beautiful her gardens are in the summer ( we were visiting in October). Even provided a great display of the Northern Lights lol. ##### Elizabeth W.
