We had a fantastic stay here! Stunningly gorgeous spot on the lake, we loved the fire pit at sunset. Our dog was thrilled to be able to swim right out the front door, and Chris and Sarah are incredibly kind and welcoming - perfect hosts! The lake is close enough to Port Alberni to make easy trips into town for groceries, lunch, etc. Truly wonderful experience!

Check in was easy, Chris met us as we arrived and provided a wagon to help load our stuff down the walking path. Unit was clean and well organized, with a little retro vibe. Bed was comfortable, the room was nice and dark for sleeping. Kichten was well stocked, and BBQ was excellent. Lots of outdoor seating options. We especially liked the dock and the propane fire table. Canoe and kayaks were added bonus. Loved the view and the sunset.

This venue provided me with a much needed retreat. Chris is the most accommodating host and a great person to interact with. My dog fell in love with his two pets, Yoda and Ozzy. Be prepared that there is limited cell service, but it was welcomed by me. WIFI was perfect.

Amazing lake and host!

Chris is such an awesome host, great communication, always out there to help and let us checked in earlier!! Thx Chris!! Having a great dock by the lake with kayaks and canoes, what else can you ask for?On top of it all is pet friendly! And with all things available for your furr.. baby (poop bags, treats, bowls, etc) with plenty of space to run around and swim (mind you there are local pets too).I guess the only downside is that the place is on a basement, so temperature difference is a thing (either hot or cold), but overall is amazing! shame we only spent a couple nights there, but for sure would come back.

We had a wonderful stay here- the weather was great and the lake warm and clear for swimming. Chris and Sarah are excellent hosts, responding to our needs quickly with good communication. The suite is downstairs from their level in the house so never got too hot in the hot weather and was quiet. We had all we needed and the kayaks/canoe provided for us to use are a great addition. The views of the lake from the suite are beautiful and the huge dock available for our use as well as theirs was fabulous. It was nice to have Prime Video access on the TV as well! Good TV reception and wifi. We used the air bed also and it was comfortable. The Cameron Lake/ Wesley Ridge area fire did not affect us on our trip - no smoke at Sproat Lake while we were here. We loved this area of the lake. Just beautiful! Looking forward to our return! Thank you so much!

Beautiful lake front stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The suite had an absolutely stunning lakefront view! The suite was clean and well-equipped. We had everything we needed. The hosts even supplied everything our dog could want, including dog bowls, dog treats, a ball and poop bags. So nice that it was so dog friendly! The hosts were friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and the hosts kindly made their watersports equipment and toys available to us. Our 3-year-old had a great time! The only thing to note is that the suite is very much part of the family house. It is the downstairs suite under the main house, and the patio is right below the family's main patio. We did not mind (aside from occasionally smelling smoke from one of the visiting family members) but for those looking for privacy or to be well away from the hosts, this may not work for them.

We had a wonderful time! Chris is a great host - the right combination of super responsive and helpful but busy doing his own thing as well. You can't beat the location and we loved all the thoughtful additions: the bbq station, the firepit and especially the wonderful floating deck. The view was just stunning.

The hosts were lovely to deal with and quick to respond to any questions we had prior to our stay. I appreciated just how clean the suite was, and the little touches throughout, like extra toiletries in the bathroom, and dog treats and such for our girl, Emma. Our host, Chris was on site, and he was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely book again in the future.
