It truly is a hidden gem
A beautiful property with such lovely hosts. Val and Paul were welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. The stay far exceeded my expectations. It was ideally located for my needs and the fenced yard was perfect for my dog. Fozzie made himself at home and didn't take long to learn where to get the best scritches. My only regret was that I couldn't stay longer.

This place feels like home. Our hosts, Val and Paul were there to greet us and walked us through the property. Everything is very neat and clean, bed and linens are great and kitchen has all the necessities. We really appreciated the breakfast food that was provided. There are walking trails and beaches close by. The property has gardens and fruit trees and relaxing sitting areas. Paul and Val are amazing hosts and it was lovely to share our stories. Loved this place.

A Truly Exceptional Stay at The Two Dogs Inn
Our 38-day stay at The Two Dogs Inn was amazing. Val and Paul provided unparalleled hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcomed and at home. This was our best VRBO experience yet. We brought along our 12+ year-old Yellow Lab, Roxy. Val and Paul were fantastic with her, and Roxy was always thrilled to spend time with them. We were pleasantly surprised to find supplies (eggs, milk, breakfast cereals, treats for Roxy, and more) waiting for us – a thoughtful touch we hadn’t encountered at other VRBO properties. The accommodation had everything we needed. It was impeccably clean, the bed was comfortable, and the warm shower had excellent water pressure. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the kitchen well-equipped. The fenced grounds were stunning and a great place to relax. At one point, we mentioned that the TV was on the small side for reading show descriptions. The very next day, Val and Paul replaced it with a brand new 55” HD model. Their attentiveness and responsiveness were truly outstanding. The location, on the other side of the bay from Highway 1, is rural and peaceful. We spent many hours on the deck, reading, sipping wine, and trying to capture the perfect photo of the many hummingbirds. Val and Paul’s local insights allowed us to explore the area to the fullest. We particularly enjoyed visiting nearby beaches, perfect for leisurely walks with Roxy. We look forward to our next visit to the island – The Two Dogs Inn is undoubtedly our first choice for accommodation.

Beautiful Gardens
The property was as advertised. The hosts were warm, friendly and accommodating. There were wonderful touches throughout the suite such as bowls of chocolate, a welcoming vase of flowers and a fridge stocked with bread, butter, eggs, yogurt etc. I especially enjoyed the lovely garden, complete with a grape arbour seating area. Captain, the lovely dog, and the super friendly cat were the icing on the cake.

Valerie and Paul are wonderful hosts and now friends I will visit every time I am on the island. Their property is wonderful, the apartment is everything you could ask for, and it was stocked with some food and water and other necessities that you don’t ever see in a rental. Most of all, I enjoyed sharing time and stories with Paul and Valerie while Captain guarded us and the property. I had a wonderful stay and look forward to staying there again and visiting with the best hosts ever.

A Vacation you will never forget
This Vacation let us for 3 weeks nearly forget our home, The fantastic hosts Valery and Paul are so good-hearted and friendly so that we hope to see them again. The accomodation was as well as described. We found all things we needed to feel well and home-like. The several things in the kitchen and the fridge where so valuable to bridge a gap. Located is the property that you can reach all interessting thing at Vancouver Island very easely. A very importend mentioning are the two housemates "Captain" and "Lucky" (Dog and Cat). Both are so very kind and complementary to the landlords that we never forget these faithful animals. We hope to see these four lovely guys again. Many, many thanks for these fair and beautiful hollidays. Kind regards Ulrike and Holger

Fantastic! Kind hosts, beautiful surroundings, warm sauna
What a wonderful, slightly off-the-beaten-track location on Vancouver Island! The hosts (and their two dogs) are some of the most welcoming and hospitable people. A well-stocked kitchen, a wonderful in-unit sauna, a warm and comfy bed, and all of it close to the charming towns of Ladysmith and Chemainus - what more could you ask for? We will surely look to stay here again next time we're in the area - thank you!
