Here are the top 5 reasons to stay in a Lakeview Homes for Thanksgiving or any holiday season!

5. Beautiful Views

Each of our homes offers something unique, but several of our homes are situated right on the lake. That means a stunning backdrop (like this one) for your family meal on Thanksgiving or any other holiday! Families often tell us how special their holidays were in our rentals; whether they spent chilly evenings bundled up on the deck or enjoyed cozying up in front of the fireplace.

4. Vancouver Island Offers Excellent Fall Activities

The Nanaimo area has lots of activities for the entire family during the autumn season! You can spend your days kayaking around the harbor on a sunny day, foraging for wild mushrooms and plants in our luscious forests, taking the family to McNabb’s corn maze, hiking one of our many local trails, or even sitting in the garden, all cozied up in your favorite sweater or blanket and watching the leaves change colour!

3. A Great Excuse to Get Together

Life gets busy! Renting a vacation or rental home is not only a good way to mix up tradition, but it is also a great excuse to get together with friends and family that you may not usually see during the holidays. Why not arrange a girls’ weekend or invite those Aunts and Uncles you’ve been meaning to go visit?
