We spent the Memorial Day weekend at the Belle Vue Bed and Breakfast. It is a spacious home perched…read moreon the coast, overlooking the Georgia Strait, and surrounded by flowers. Walter and Haideh (pronounced like "Heidi") are the hosts, and are friendly, funny, and know how to make you feel comfortable and welcome. As dog lovers, we also had the chance to play with their two retrievers, Tip and Pocos. (We spent far too much time on the beach, throwing tennis balls into the surf, and watching the dogs race after them and bring them back.) Don't miss the food! Haideh and Walter use many local ingredients to create tasty meals for you. (I really enjoyed the zucchini jam, and the herb-mixture that Haideh used on the eggs!) The B&B can be a bit difficult to find -- be sure to bring your GPS. But it is well worth the trip! Plan to spend several days there -- once you begin to relax, you really won't want to leave too soon!

A bit late writing this one as our stay was in the beginning of December…read more The service was just fantastic. Location is excellent. Amenities, plentiful. Quiet B&B tucked away in a cove. Hot tub, large bed, feather pillows, amazing tub for two, excellent hosts, Haideh and Walter, two friendly retrievers (Pocos and Tip) as friends! It was wonderful. Walter's breakfasts were delicious and creative, Haideh's passion for a "shot of health" juice in the morning, the interesting conversations in the morning... such a wonderful stay. The house is decorated with the eclectic eye of a world traveler, the VHS collection and the VCR in the bedroom was a hilarious and entertaining throwback, Walter's spontaneous singing while he tends the kitchen - all of these character elements make this place a pleasant and very comfortable departure from the norm. Lastly, while arranging this surprise weekend for us, my fiancée noted to them that we were planning our stay as a way of celebrating our recent engagement and rather than reply with "we're closed for the season" - they opened up their home for us in the off-season. We only found this out later during breakfast on the second day.... and they were quite modest about the fact. They simply stated "it was too special an occasion to *not* have us stay." It was a touching cap to the stay. We'll be back for certain.

I am proud to claim the right of being the first person to review this splendidly wonderful little…read moreB&B they call the Willow Guest House. Before I begin the review, I think it is imperative that I preface it with a small but relavent note about myself. I am a well traveled person however, for all intent and purposes, I am very much a city guy. And being so, have a particular disposition regarding the finer things in life; the little but important conveniences of nicer living. So I would comfortably say that I have high expectations when it comes to accommodations and anything I plan to pay for or during a vacation. So having traveled a great deal, I have experienced a wide spectrum of quality in services and accommodations throughout the world. I am extremely pleased to say that I have never experienced any accommodations quite like the one at the Willow Guest House. In short, it truly felt like I was coming home. My biggest apprehension when it comes to B&Bs is the imbalance most B&Bs have between the business and the home. Either it is too business like with the warmth and homely coziness of The Adams Family or too much home and not enough business which leaves for rather awkward interactions and no sense of privacy. The Willow Guest House has this balanced magnificently. Never once did I feel like an intruder or awkward. Warren and Dee (the owners) are the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. The moment my girlfriend and I stepped into their home, it felt like we were family. It was quite remarkable actually. Their rare ability to be unconditionally welcoming and genuine is so refreshing that I found myself wishing our trip was longer than two nights! They are a perfect team and care so much about their B&B that every single detail towards excellence is considered. I would come back and stay at their brilliantly wonderful B&B any chance I can get. In fact I wish every hotel in Whistler would take some notes of what true hospitality and comfort is. This is undeniably the BEST BED AND BREAKFAST I have EVER had the pleasure of visiting. You will not be disappointed when you book with Warren and Dee. They are a true gem.

Indeed, I am creating their business page on Yelp just to do so (so it must be that good, right?). My girlfriend and I had a fabulous one night stay with our hosts, Margaret and Michael. So many memorable conversations with them both after we arrived and over breakfast the next morning. What lovely and interesting people! You simply must go meet them! :) The house itself completely dazzled me. I walked around slack jawed for the first 15 minutes. I wanted the name of their architect! Such a gorgeous home they've built. So open and full of light! Our room was spotless, modern and beautiful! The grounds themselves are also extensive. It would surprise you. We were free to walk around the property as much as we wanted and we took them up on the offer. They have a stunning flower garden and vegetable garden that wrap around the entire house and Michael has a work "shed" (read: beautifully constructed two-story workshop) back in the woods of their property where he can project in solitude. Oh, and to top it all off, Margaret's breakfast was dynamite! So incredibly delicious, my word! See picture. I am a sucker for a breakfast that appeals to both my savory and sweet palette and Margaret nailed it! Also, speaking of food, Margaret and Michael highly recommended checking out the Laughing Oyster down the road for dinner. Such a good call. We had one of the most romantic dinners of our lives out on the deck. We were so thankful for the recommendation! Bottom Line: This was one of the best - perhaps the best - bed and breakfast experiences I have ever had. And that is saying something! Do not miss this place if you come up the Sunshine Coast!

They were most enthusiastic about the scrumptious breakfast and I can certainly vouch for the attractiveness of the house and the fabulous views.

My Bed and Breakfast experience is mind-bogglingly vast. I have slept nearly every night of my life…read moreon a bed - at least 96% of all 3am hours have been spent between the sheets - and I often will consume a first meal of the day before the hour of 12am. As for the more traditional concept of a B&B - to wit, paying to spend the night in the home of a stranger - I have only done so once or twice before. That said, it is hard to imagine a more wonderful or welcoming environment than Our Place, as provided by Lewis and Lorraine. I was in Parksville for the wedding of a friend, and my girlfriend looked into possible locations for the night. She settled on Our Place, and it was a very wise decision... nearly as wise as dating me in the first place. Lewis and Lorraine were both gregarious and effervescent, even offering to drive us to the wedding (!!!) when my lady's car gave up the ghost. While we were able to arrange alternate transportation, that spontaneous and generous offer really helps highlight the Our Place experience. We stayed in the 'Jazz Room', a very clean and comfortable space, and lounged around on the chairs outside in the sun. The inclusion of a copy of the board game 'Clue' in the side-cabinet was an especially nice touch. Privacy was ensured by a locking inner door and separate entrance to the guest suites. The only thing that remains to be praised is the breakfast, praise is greatly deserves. Grand Marnier-infused French toast with orange zest, home-made muffins, fresh yoghurt over summer strawberries and a wide selection of juices - along with the stimulating and wide-ranging morning conversation - made the morning meal a gastronomic and intellectual delight. And all this for the very reasonable price of $110/night. We figured that breakfast alone was worth $30-$40, leaving the price of the room per person down to around $35-$40 - numbers that even MC Hammer can touch.
