The hot tub was full of leaf litter and so was the trampoline but the kids were expected to take off their shoes. After coming back in after 2 mins with slivers they didnt use it again. The owners also had dogs running around barking at us which was obviously a big deterrent for using the fire pit or play area. Both of my kids were quite disappointed. If you don't plan on using those amenities the rest of the place was great. ##### Kathryn K. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOHN B.

Our family found Sailor's Rest to be just right in terms of size, location and amenities. The house makes great use of space, is beautifully decorated, and really does have everything one might need. In addition to all the standard amenities and well stocked kitchen, we really enjoyed the numerous special touches, including games, art, books, and some real Canadian naval history. We found the house spotlessly clean, and also took advantage of the wonderfully landscaped yard and gazebo (and hot tub!) The host and his amazing family went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and provided lots of info on local activities. Three days in the area didn't really put a dent in everything Cowichan Valley has to offer, so we truly hope we get a chance to return. Thanks Mich! ##### Daniel I.
