Excellent accommodation very clean and comfortable ##### Alan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth D. Oct 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous River view We loved our stay. Clean and quiet. Had all we needed. Air fryer, hot plate, pot, pan, dishes, microwave, coffee maker, etc. Comfy bed and pillows, plenty of towels, hair dryers etc. Loved having the grill to make some steaks, loved the firepit (that someone else had lit and had going), and the view could not be beat. Thank you! ##### Elizabeth D. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location and nice and clean. ##### Tanya Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya Aug 11, 2025 #### Beautiful property with everything we needed in our suite! Quiet, central location that has lots of space for everyone. Clean and tidy suite that was fully stocked. ##### Tanya This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy Aug 28, 2025 #### Amazing! So beautiful. We went for two nights to see if we wanted to plan for a week there. We will be booking for one week next year! Beautiful aesthetic. Loved the hammocks, games on the lawn and the fact that one end of the dock is protected by rocks from the river so you can walk around or float without ending up in the river. Loved the air fryer and induction cook top in the kitchen. Very friendly staff. Great lighting outside but just need one for the patio table so that you can play board games there. Thanks!!! ##### Christy This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Tyler Aug 16, 2025 #### Riverfront and amazingly clean The cabin type room with a small kitchenette, table, couch, and bed all in the same room was extra clean and great for one night. The bathroom was one of the cleanest ever! I was worried about the shared backyard and river area but the only other guests we saw out there were quiet and friendly. The only reason for 4 stars is the lightweight bed frame. While the mattress was comfy, the cheap bed frame is not going to hold up to the weight of a couple who weigh more than a combined 300 pounds ##### Tyler ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Prestige Oceanfront Resort, WorldHotels Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Prestige-Oceanfront-Resort.h4423936.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Barclay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Barclay-Hotel.h126239.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Fernie Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cranbrook-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Fernie-Mountain-Lodge.h597175.Hotel-Information) > > [SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-SookePoint-Ocean-Cottage-Resort.h25183454.Hotel-Information) > > [Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oyster Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Oyster-Bay.h21648061.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Tigh-Na-Mara-Seaside-Spa-Resort.h891260.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Duncan-Hotels-Oceanfront-Suites-At-Cowichan-Bay.h900514.Hotel-Information) > > [THE Beach Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-THE-Beach-Club-Resort.h1899963.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Lake Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Lake-Hotel.h63504.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Salmon Arm](https://www.expedia.ca/Salmon-Arm-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott.h57964334.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Penticton at the Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-Four-Points-Penticton-Convention-Centre.h93260034.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Mission City Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Mission-City-Lodge.h233951.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp Resorts Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels-Basecamp-Resorts.h45738469.Hotel-Information) > > [Sparkling Hill Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Sparkling-Hill-Wellness-Resort-And-Spa-Adult-Only-Resort.h3489503.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Sunrise-Ridge-Waterfront-Resort.h1743576.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Beach-Hotel.h1370041.Hotel-Information) > > [Qualicum Beach Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Qualicum-Beach-Inn.h12333217.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Abbotsford BC](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Abbotsford-BC.h4160.Hotel-Information) > > [Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Brentwood-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1077147.Hotel-Information) > > [Rowena's Inn On The River](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Rowenas-Inn-On-The-River.h8343282.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Parksville Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Coast-Parksville-Hotel.h7100062.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Bayside-Resort.h15138.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Shores Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Pacific-Shores-Resort-Spa.h16295324.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Merritt Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Merritt-Hotel.h18989275.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria Airport Sidney](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Victoria-Airport.h22468.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Abbotsford Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Coast-Abbotsford-Hotel-Suites.h163336.Hotel-Information)
