LONG LAKE WATERFRONT BED & BREAKFAST REVIEWS

Amazing place for a great price. I'm very iffy on staying at B&B's, but this place is gold. It doesn't even feel like a B&B. I stayed 4 nights and wished I could have stayed longer. Beautiful location, the views are amazing and Rebecca is such a sweet lady who really takes care of guests. Plus the breakfasts are incredible. Free access to kayaks and a canoe is a bonus. Thank you for such a wonderful time. I highly recommend this place for a nice getaway.

Stayed in the King Suite for 2 nights for my birthday. We arrived on a later ferry and the host greeted us as soon as we pulled up. The suite was lovely and the breakfast both days was terrific (we had the cheesiest omelette I've ever had one day and a Benny the next- nom nom!). We even had a chance to get out on the kayaks in November and took a dip in the hot tub! Had a wonderful time here and would stay again.

Every moment of our stay was fabulous. We loved our view, breakfast was wonderful and we loved our suite. This is not a 5 star hotel, it’s an B&B on a lake. Exceptional value for your money. Wonder hosts. We will be back.

MGM SEASHORE B AND B REVIEWS

We spent two nights as a family (3 kids) at Marilyn and Glenn's house and couldn't have done better.|The accommodation is very lovingly furnished - absolutely nothing is missing.|The breakfast was so good that we will try some of the recipes at home.|Marilyn and Glenn were wonderful hosts. We hope to see them again.

Marilyn and Glenn gave us a very warm welcome and they were great hosts. The accomodation is beautiful and from the honey moon suite we had an amazing view on the ocean. Marilyn gave us some nice tips for a walking tour along the coast. We can really recommend the accomodation. Thank you very much, Marilyn and Glenn.

Marilyn and Glenn are lovely and generous hosts. The bedroom and guest areas are very comfortable and the view from the house and shore deck is spectacular. Breakfast we delicious and healthy. We were delighted by the entire experience. We would love to return someday soon.

ISLAND VIEW BB REVIEWS

Darlene is a very sweet host, the breakfast she made us was delicious and the drinks in the fridge were a sweet extra touch. We actually had the whole apartment on the ground floor to ourselves which was great for the price. If I ever visit Nanaimo again I’ll definitely be staying here.

Beautiful gardens, very comfortable bed, the room has everything you need. Doreen is an excellent hostess, makes your stay very enjoyable. View of the water and gardens.Will visit again.

From A to Z good place to stay.. location apartment are cozy and the owner is the best.! Breakfast is more than food is a social experience with Darlene.Love it!
