Summary: What a wonderful place to stay! Jennifer and Howard were excellent hosts. We had a safe spot to keep our bikes, a great grill to use and easy parking in front of the house. Howard made sure we each had a Nanaimo bar in the frig waiting for us. What a special touch! Lots of towels and washer and dryer with soap provided. We highly recommend this stay!
