Summary: If you love peace, tranquility, and privacy, look no further. The grounds and lake are stunningly beautiful, even in the fall. Suite is tastefully furnished, well-equipped, and with many thoughtful extras you don't typically find in a vacation rental. Jodi and Randy are exceptionally wonderful hosts who go out of their way to make sure guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Summary: We had the most excellent stay at Jodi and Randy's place! Our kids absolutely LOVED spending time out on the dock looking for frogs and fishes. There are many activities that the owners allow guests to use - canoe, paddle boat, life jackets, etc. We absolutely love that it was a private lake so we have plenty of privacy! The guestsuite is sparking clean. All the cooking amenities were available for a nice bbq grill in the patio. Towels and toiletries were available and very clean. We felt like we were staying at a resort! Randy greeted us when we arrived and Jodi was our main contact. They were very prompt to all our inquiries and super friendly! They definitely treat you like family! Overall, this was our favorite place at Vancouver Island. It's close enough to the ferries and within driving distance to stores. I would highly recommend Jodi and Randy's place for those looking for a private resort style lodging. Thanks Jodi and Randy for an amazing stay!

Summary: This perfect Oasis by a small private spring fed lake was heaven. We had such a wonderful relaxing time. The place was modern and clean. We ate our meals outside on the deck overlooking the beautiful grounds and lake. Jodi and Randy are lovely hosts and they have thought of everything to make your stay stress free. You can hang out at their private dock and swim, float and paddle around on a board, or canoe. If you are looking to de-stress or just to get away I would highly recommend a stay at the aptly named Dragonfly resort.
