Anthea was lovely. Very responsive to messages and happy to allow us a slightly later check in of 630. It was easy to find the location was fantastic. Anthea was really helpful to direct us to food in the area, but also for our onward travels through British Colombia. The accommodation was cozy and clean. She had two lovely daschunds who were very friendly and a great perk of the accommodation. Definitely would stay again

There was a grocery store a short walk away. The accommodations were a good size and the price was good for the area. Clean bedding and towels. If you're looking for inexpensive, this is it. If you're looking for well-kept, this marginally meets that point.

Clean and comfortable accommodation. The place had everything we needed and I wish we could have stayed longer! Wayne and Michele provided lots of helpful information to make our stay easy. Lots of small things made our stay very welcoming - when we arrived late at night the place was warm with lights on.
