Amazing Place to Stay in Sechelt

An incredible property to stay. We absolutely enjoyed our two night stay here. The owners were great to deal with throughout our stay. We went out on the canoe and were able to see some beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this location if staying in or around Sechelt.
