This was a great house for our family of 6. Since we are a big group, it’s often hard to find affordable places that are comfortable. We appreciated the big couches that had room for all of us to watch movies together, the large table to eat at, and the comfortable sleeping options. It is so close to the beautiful Westwood Lake. We could walk back and forth. The hosts were perfectly helpful if we needed them. Thank you for a wonderful family trip!

This was a great property for our family vacation. The location was excellent for access to the town, shops and the main roads to travel to other parts of Vancouver Island. There was the bonus of the lake, West Wood Lake which is just behind the house which is lovely for walking, swimming or sitting.The house had great living space, good kitchen with every thing you need and more. The bathrooms were excellent and the master room has impressive views. Nice addition is the outdoor space for dining. I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again

Not a place three adult women should ever consider renting. The listing and the title are incredibly misleading. The unit certainly would not sleep seven - there aren't even three proper beds! The unit was very clean and bright. The kitchen was well stocked with the exception of a knife to cut vegetables. I would say a couple with young children would be comfortable here except that the backyard is not fully fenced. As for tranquil - not exactly. The unit is located on busy suburban street no where near the lake. I realize the fine print does point that out, but it should not be difficult for a renter to find this information.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re very glad to hear you found the suite clean, bright, and well stocked. We’d just like to add a little clarification for future guests, as we work hard to provide as much information as possible so everyone can decide whether our home is the right fit for their stay. The suite accommodates up to seven guests, with a king bed in the primary bedroom, a double/single bunk in the bunk room, and two foldable sleeper chairs with bedding in the game room. The listing includes both detailed descriptions and photos of these spaces, so guests can see exactly how the sleeping arrangements are set up before booking. We completely understand that different groups have different preferences, and some may prefer three separate traditional beds. Our flexible sleeping arrangements are particularly suited to families and groups who are comfortable with the configuration shown in the listing. The location is also openly provided in the listing. Guests have access to the property map, written description and can ask questions before booking. The listing describes Westwood Lake as a scenic 15–20 minute walk through the trails, there is no suggesting that the home is directly on the lake. The unfenced yard is also clearly noted, along with our request that children be supervised. These details are not hidden in fine print. They are part of the main listing information and are also included in the rental agreement provided to guests before their stay, that all guests agree upon to prevent this type of confusion. We’re sorry that the home wasn’t the ideal fit for your group. Every group has different needs and preferences, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to host guests who enjoy what our home has to offer. Our goal is always to be transparent and provide guests with the information they need to feel comfortable and confident when choosing our home. Thank you again for your feedback!

Our stay at Where Trails Meet Lake Tranquility was top notch! The home was very nicely appointed and decorated. All amenities provided were in excellent like new condition. Lots of cool appliances! The rental was immaculate and clean. The owner provided a plethora of resources from tear off maps of the area ( very cleaver) , nearby restaurant locations and menus, local activities and much more. This VBRO rental was one of the best we have stayed at. If we are ever in the area of Nanaimo again, we will definitely rebook.

We really enjoyed our stay here as it was extremely clean, comfortable and spacious. You can’t beat the location as it was so close to a beautiful lake, Westwood lake, close to groceries, great restaurants and just a quick drive to Parksville and Comox Valley. The house had everything we needed except for top sheets on the beds, the kitchen had everything we needed and we were so grateful that the house has AC. We would recommend to families.

This rental was perfectly cozy, for our whole family of 9 including many sleeping options and a full kitchen for all!It was so clean and had that "new" feeling through out: bedding, towels, showers, and beautiful dining table -- WOW! Loved the kids' cute sleeping bag options, games and books. The couch was a rather comfortable quick bed for the grandpa who tagged along. The popcorn in the kitchen was an extra snacking bonus for when we arrived. With laundry included, and with soap, it was so easy to do everything we wanted and needed.We explored the neighbourhood and LOVED the hiking trails (especially at sunset :D) It was super easy to get around to everything and rather central the everything too! Host was super accommodating and communicative. Highly recommend this location to anyone needing an easy spot to enjoy and take in all that Nanaimo has to offer!
