The Swell Shack is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the incredible scenery and slow-paced life of Vancouver Island. The Shack is cozy, and its charm, ambiance, and superb location make it a true gem. Did I mention the all natural wood makes it smell amazing inside? Mo and James were excellent hosts: friendly, open, warm, and giving--I felt like I was staying with family for the two nights I was there. They invited me to look around their (impressive) garden and house, which they built themselves and is near the Shack for easy interaction between guests and hosts. I would highly recommend the Swell Shack to any single or duo travelers looking for lodging that is off the beaten track. I only regret I couldn't stay longer!
