I have little to add to what others have said. Our room and the common areas were spacious and spotless, and the lakeside location was beautiful. Our hosts were welcoming, full of useful information and recommendations, and good conversationalists. The food that Gordie prepared was a treat. We were just passing through Nanaimo, but this would be a great place... More

Beautiful views from the property over Long Lake. A very comfortable B&B with excellent and varied breakfasts cooked by Gordie, who is also most helpful with sightseeing advice and weather forecasts! Just be aware that rooms are not serviced daily. A really enjoyable stay.

My boss and I stayed here for one night while on business. She stayed in the Lakeside room and I was in Arbutus. Both were spacious and clean and equipped with kitchenettes and fluffy robes. The wifi is good and the breakfast and company were great. We couldn't access our reservation and arrived 2 hours early to check-in and were... More

My fiancee and I were both VERY pleasantly suprised. We have never stayed at a BB before..and this was more than we imagined one would be like. I loved meeting other guests at breakfast and the secluded rooms. It really was a weekend getaway we both needed. We plan to go back for sure!

Thank you very much for your review. It is always a treat to see reactions of guests that have never stayed in a B&B and are surprised how much they enjoyed a private B&B on the lake. Glad you stayed with us and found a different way to stay. More

This is the perfect place to stay on Vancouver Island. It is a short drive from the ferry terminals. Janice and Gordie are wonderful hosts and the rooms are very comfortable. We spent two nights before heading to the northern part of the island and then another night on our way back. It was like coming home!

Our only regret was that our stay was one night. Beautiful, relaxing property with very nice and warm hosts. Breakfast was very good. We were celebrating my 50th birthday and this place absolutely added to a wonderful BC trip. Would highly recommened it.

From the moment we arrived we were made comfortable with our surroundings. This is not just a place to sleep; it's a destination. Lots of fun things to do at Long Lake Waterfront B&B - hot tub, kayak, sit and relax on the dock or in our beautifully appointed room - nothing was forgotten. We were celebrating our 50th wedding...
