Karin thank you the Sunden Family had such a great stay! Great location with fantastic views over the lake! We will be back! Now off to Calgary! Caitlin, Stuart, Oda, Josh and Marjory September 2006

 

We don’t want to go home!  We have had a fantastic time at the wonderful house on Long Lake.  Now we don’t want to go home – the boys have caught 18 bass in the lake and have really enjoyed fishing, using the paddleboat and kayaks.   A blissful way to spend a week – we wish we had longer here.  Thank you for such an enjoyable and fantastic stay.  One way or another we will be back! A big thank you for taking the boys out on the speedboat they loved it. Peter, Katrina, James and Charlie Sayer (York, England) September 2006

 

Happy Bare footing!  We had an excellent stat at the Long Lake house of elegance.  Wow the view couldn’t have been any better with such a gorgeous house Thank you so much for the excellent experience.  The water was flat but we could surely fix that. Happy bare footing!!! Chris, Christine Carissa and Tyler J.  (Campbell River, British Columbia)  September 2006

 

What a beautiful property you have here! Perfect location, right by the lake! We truly enjoyed staying at both houses. The front one has amazing new furniture & all! This house on the side is great too! Our family had a wonderful reunion here. Thank you so much for everything! Best wishes. The Etzkaorn Family. (Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary) September 2006

 

Fishing for “giant fighting marlins” off the dock!!  Karin our family had a wonderful holiday.  The Lakeview home is beautifully decorated, yet still homey and we loved the open concept allowing our small children ample room and still being able to keep an eye on them. Our son loved fishing for “giant fighting marlins” off the dock! We all enjoyed the beach and all the sights while here! Krista, Sam, David and Julian Aiello (Okotoks, Alberta) August 2006

 

Karin thanks for all the help Arranging fishing and other things for us! We had a great holiday Lillian and Len Rallady August 2006

Fish off the dock perfect!  It’s been terrific having a home-away-from-home for a week, being able to relax, fish on the dock, and a late night swim is “perfect”.  All the kids being towed around the lake was an added bonus, as were the fresh flowers in the vase that were here upon our arrival, making us feel truly welcome.  If we ever visit again we will know exactly where to stay, and will recommend this place to anyone in need of a place to stay in Nanaimo.  Thanks and again until we meet again!

We look forward to booking another stay with you! Just wanted to thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your Lakeview home! From the moment we walked in the front door, we felt at home! Our kids really enjoyed the swimming and throwing rocks off the dock and it was so wonderful being able to have grandma walk down for visits. We look forward to booking another stay with you next year. The Gardiner Family August 2006

 

If we ever visit this area again we’ll know exactly where to stay! It’s been terrific having a “home away from home” for a week. Being able to relax, fish on the dock or a late night swim was perfect!

If we ever visit this area again we’ll know exactly where to stay and we’ll recommend this place to anyone that needs a place to stay in Nanaimo. Thanks, till we meet again!  Peter, Emmie, Karin, Patrick, Jake and Bruce August 2006

 

This has been by far our best ground base for visiting all of Vancouver Island Thank you very much! As you have seen, we have been gone all during the day touring around, but the best part was everyday coming back home and feeling like this. The home has plenty of room for our group of eight and everything was perfect! We don’t want to forget to mention the canoe and tadpole boat which has been great for the boys. Simply perfect! We hope to see you sometime in Barcelona! I’ll send you some pictures by email. Thanks again! The Fortim’s (Barcelona, Spain) August 2006   

 

Thank you so much for a wonderful house and the lake! Patty swam every day. It was a great reunion with our son and his girlfriend. I’m sure we’ll be back again next year! Patty Kincaid and Jim Drivas (Eugene, Oregon) August 2006 

 

The kids had a lot of fun! Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful Lakeview home. We really enjoyed the open concept so that we could yak while someone cooked, and other took care of the kids in the living room. The large master bedroom was fantastic as it sits my entire family of four with room to spare! We also really enjoyed going out on the paddle boat. The kids had a lot of fun. In conclusion, all 3 families had a lot of fun and we’ll be sure to be back in the future. Mar, Pon, and Wop Family July 2006

 

It will be long remembered and talked about! We just wanted to thank you for a fantastic reunion.  We enjoyed the houses on the lake and all it had to offer. This was a reunion and vacation that will be long remembered and talked about again. Thanks- it was great!  Thanks. Taylor and Barraclough Families July 2006

The location is perfect … all the comforts of home Thanks for a great week at the lake. I can’t wait till next time. Next time we’ll get out on the lake, we did however get out on the ocean twice to prawn, crab, and fish. Out friends came to visit and loved the house and view as well. It was like entertaining at our own home… fantastic. Until next time!  Angie and Brandon April 2006

 

The house was great! Really well set up with no problems at all!  We have had a fantastic holiday!  Karin couldn’t have been more helpful. The island is beautiful and we don’t want to go home! We are sure that we will be back again! The Ward Family (Jersey, Channel Islands UK) April 2006

 

Home away from home! This home suited the needs of our family while visiting the area. Your town is ever changing and your waterfront development is very impressive. We enjoyed the accessibility by ferry to Gabriola Island, sea plane to Vancouver, and access to all the small hidden treasures along the way. Your house on the lake provided us with comfort and relaxation. I thank you for the natural and peaceful surroundings. We will highly recommend it! The McIsaac’s (Georgian Bay, Ontario) April 2006

 

It was my serenity to come home in a chaotic world! You have made my lengthy stay here so incredibly comfortable. It was my serenity to come home in a chaotic world. I loved waking up to the incredible view every morning. I appreciate your hospitality and would highly recommend without hesitation, Lakeview to all my friends and family.  Marilyn W (Toronto, Ontario) March 2006
