We loved staying at the Two Dogs Inn! Very clean, cozy suite with all our necessities provided, hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable! Beautiful + peaceful area, lots to do close by in Ladysmith (stores, coffee, etc.). Hosts were very welcoming and helpful with any extra things we needed, and any questions we had about travelling! We enjoyed our stay, and hope to return!

Beautiful Gardens
The property was as advertised. The hosts were warm, friendly and accommodating. There were wonderful touches throughout the suite such as bowls of chocolate, a welcoming vase of flowers and a fridge stocked with bread, butter, eggs, yogurt etc. I especially enjoyed the lovely garden, complete with a grape arbour seating area. Captain, the lovely dog, and the super friendly cat were the icing on the cake.

2 Dogs Inn
Valerie and Paul are wonderful hosts and now friends I will visit every time I am on the island. Their property is wonderful, the apartment is everything you could ask for, and it was stocked with some food and water and other necessities that you don’t ever see in a rental. Most of all, I enjoyed sharing time and stories with Paul and Valerie while Captain guarded us and the property. I had a wonderful stay and look forward to staying there again and visiting with the best hosts ever.

A Vacation you will never forget
This Vacation let us for 3 weeks nearly forget our home, The fantastic hosts Valery and Paul are so good-hearted and friendly so that we hope to see them again. The accomodation was as well as described. We found all things we needed to feel well and home-like. The several things in the kitchen and the fridge where so valuable to bridge a gap. Located is the property that you can reach all interessting thing at Vancouver Island very easely. A very importend mentioning are the two housemates "Captain" and "Lucky" (Dog and Cat). Both are so very kind and complementary to the landlords that we never forget these faithful animals. We hope to see these four lovely guys again. Many, many thanks for these fair and beautiful hollidays. Kind regards Ulrike and Holger

Fantastic! Kind hosts, beautiful surroundings, warm sauna
What a wonderful, slightly off-the-beaten-track location on Vancouver Island! The hosts (and their two dogs) are some of the most welcoming and hospitable people. A well-stocked kitchen, a wonderful in-unit sauna, a warm and comfy bed, and all of it close to the charming towns of Ladysmith and Chemainus - what more could you ask for? We will surely look to stay here again next time we're in the area - thank you!

Wonderful place to stay and relax. Large suite and lovely patio to enjoy a glass of wine. Amazing hosts - loved hearing their stories. And if you need a book (or two!) to read they’ve got you covered. Thanks Val and Paul.

Val and Paul were great hosts. Very knowledgeable. The suite was clean and very well stocked with a variety of breakfast choices including eggs, yogurt, English muffins and cereals. A pleasant surprise. Would recommend this place to everyone. Looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the pool and a glass of wine with our hosts.

Perfect in Every Way!
We had a wonderful week at Two Dogs Inn. Our hosts, Val and Paul, couldn’t have done anything more to make us feel comfortable, welcome and appreciated. Their beautiful dogs, Captain and Ruby, were happy to greet us every day (I’m sure it had nothing to do with the cookies they love so much)! The suite is large, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It was also stocked with many food and drink surprises! Two Dogs is in a peaceful rural setting yet just a short drive from Ladysmith and many beautiful and varied hiking trails. We’re so glad we discovered Two Dogs Inn!

Val & Paul have the gift of hospitality
Val and Paul did everything possible to make our stay a wonderful experience. The fridge was stocked with supplies and treats when we arrived. There was a beautiful yard look at as you sit under an arbour of grape vines with fresh grapes to nibble on. (Not available throughout the year🙂) Val even sent us off with a fresh loaf of sourdough bread! 😋

Excellent Spot!
This was a perfect space! We are traveling for our daughters wedding, and it gave us a bit of time away, to also give her some space. We totally loved the thought and details put into this space. It was excellent! Nothing missed. We had some downtime, and rest from road tripping and from business. Our three nights went too soon, and I wasn't ready to leave. The outside seating in the evenings was a perfect way for us to end our days and the doggie visits were fun. The space is quiet, private and spacious. There was everything we needed, and it was the absolute perfect respite for us, from our busy lives! Can't say enough!

Perfect place to relax and recharge
We enjoyed this perfect get away from our busy urban lives properly. The self contained suite is quiet and clean and provides for everything you need. The garden facing patio for private use offers lush, green views and, if you sit still, some hummingbirds show up and will greet you :) A lovely cove and beach, wonderful walks and the beautiful Nanaimo river are close by. Valerie and Paul are fabulous hosts and their dogs Ruby and Captain are fun to be with. This was the perfect place for us to stay and recharge during our one week holiday in the Nanaimo area.

Great hideaway near Ladysmith
The unit is the lower level of the owners home and is spacious and well equipped. Snacks and other modest provisions, kitchen supplies, comfortable seating and eating areas are provided indoors, and there is a wonderful shaded sitting area outside. Valerie and Paul are very generous and friendly hosts, and their two dogs are very simpatico with guests! The location is in the Yellow Point area and there are little beach parks around the peninsula, a great outdoor pub/restaurant (the Crow and Gate), and hiking areas (Holland Creek, Heart Lake) nearby. Not to mention Cafe Plantitude in town!
