It's a beautiful property in a pretty town. The room was outstanding and the hosts couldn't have been nicer (including Ozzie).

Has station was 2 does away but is now closed. The nearest gas station is 45km South in Ferndale so you should gas up before arriving. You can walk to ships, restaurants, village, and cruise docks and leave the car.
I hope we get to stay there again!

Very close to the different parks in the area, and the town was very walkable if chosen to do so. 10 min walk into the town, 15-20 min drive to singing sands or the grotto. Also close to food spots if you're hungry for a meal.

Jim and Robin were great hosts, breakfast every morning was fresh with fruits and a sandwich/burrito. They provided wonderful recommendations that did not disappoint, and they were knowledgeable about the area. Rooms were clean, nice hot shower, and a mini fridge to store anything you brought.

Overall, great experience and some of the kindest people around. Would definitely recommend and come back again!

We were greeted by our host as soon as we arrived. Robin and her husband gave us a warm welcome and introduced us to our room that back to a enchanted forest. The deck was so welcoming to relax contemplate or just read a book. The room was rustic decor but yet very cozy.
Every morning we were invited to the outdoor kitchen and enjoyed a warm breakfast prepare Robin and Jim (I hope I got your name right) and hot coffee!
Thank you both for a wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our stay. The owners Jim and Robin were nice. The breakfast provided was good. We were not pleased that we couldn’t smoke outside our room as they have bears around at night. We had to go to the road area where our car was. They should perhaps put this on their listing of the property. Also it was over priced for what we got.

Never saw a bear

We loved it! Stayed in the loft upstairs and it was lovely. Huge bed, great open space and the private deck overlooking the parks/woods was wonderful.
Breakfast was able to be ‘to go’ so warmed breakfast sandwiches and burrito types. Perf loCation - easy and safe to walk on the road. I also used the provided bike and biked around a bit too. Two taco places across the street.
Loved the views and both Robin and Jim were incredibly personable!

We brought our dog and she was welcomed without issue. I have nothing negative to say.
