Karen is a gem of a host! She has so much local information at her fingertips that you will not want for something to do. Or, as I did, completely relax beside the cozy fireplace in the reading room. So much is within walking distance and the bus is only a block away if you want to travel further. One bus to Butchart Gardens!!!!
Karen is so friendly and interesting to talk to. Her communication prior to and during my stay was exemplary. Her place is close enough to the hustle and bustle but far enough away to have a quiet time as well.
Thank you Karen, for your respites from the storm(s)!
