Liked: Cleanliness
It was nice and quiet. We even received eggs, snacks. They supplied us with lots of wood and drinking water. There were books and games. We met the hosts and they could not have been nicer. They gave us some places to see. The neighbors were friendly and helpful as well. We would not hesitate to stay at this location again. Would recommend to everyone.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was by far the loveliest Air B&B I have stayed at. The hosts were so great; providing a consistent supply of wood for the wood stove, fresh filtered water, and on arrival they left delicious muffins, freshly laid farm eggs, cream for our morning coffee, etc. The cabin is cozy and very well supplied. It's impeccably clean and private. I would stay again in a heartbeat, and would recommend it for anyone looking to stay in the Parksville/Coombs area of the island. It is a country setting, but you're only about 10 min drive to any amenities you need. Thanks so much Jacqueline & Tony!
