Had a wonderful experience during our stay at Two Dogs Inn. Our hosts Val and Paul treated us like family. Gave us great local suggestions on trails and restaurants. Very clean comfortable accommodations that were well stocked for all our needs. Would not hesitate to return.

We enjoyed a precious slice of paradise at Two Dogs Inn. Our pups were delighted with the amenities too and spent time enjoying the large fenced yard and lovely lumpy dog bed that they preferred over their own beds from home. Our hosts, Val & Paul are lovely kind people who made us feel very welcome there. We appreciated the farm fresh eggs, yummy Canadian made bread, watermelon and a variety of dog treats that they left for us. We hope we can return next year.

This is a hidden gem on Vancouver Island. Located outside of Ladysmith, it allowed us to unplug and truly enjoy our time away. The suite is comfortable, clean, and quiet. The outside area provided to us was amazing. We were able to sit outside, listen to the birds, and relax in the sunshine amongst the tree and flowers. The hosts are super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area, suggesting interesting locations and activities based on our interests. We would absolutely return for another stay.

Our little mid-week getaway was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! The hosts, Val and Paul, welcomed us warmly upon arrival. We had our little dog with us and we were all well received. The suite was wonderful…spacious, very clean, with a VERY comfortable bed, and the grounds were spectacular. The hosts provided lots of extras…treats and snacks, a well-stocked fridge and all the comforts of home. Even a private sauna! They gave us EXCELLENT recommendations of places to go that were pet friendly. The hosts were wonderful; we left feeling like we had made some wonderful new friends. We cannot wait to return again. We cannot recommend this place highly enough, but we want to keep it as a best kept secret so it will be available when we want to come again.

Beautiful back yard in a quiet setting that is very pet friendly. Val and Paul were very gracious and knowledgeable hosts willing to provide anything you need.Val provides many little amenities including breakfast items. We had a very nice little anniversary getaway to see the sites where some of our favorite TV shows and had a 5 course meal for our anniversary.

My sister and I spent a few days over Spring break on the island, and were looking for a place that was both relaxing and accessible to the Gulf Islands. The Two Dogs Inn surpassed our expectations. Val and Paul were incredibly friendly hosts with lots of ideas on things to try and the suite was clean and cozy. Thank you so much! Would recommend to anyone.

A beautiful property with such lovely hosts. Val and Paul were welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. The stay far exceeded my expectations. It was ideally located for my needs and the fenced yard was perfect for my dog. Fozzie made himself at home and didn't take long to learn where to get the best scritches. My only regret was that I couldn't stay longer.

This place feels like home. Our hosts, Val and Paul were there to greet us and walked us through the property. Everything is very neat and clean, bed and linens are great and kitchen has all the necessities. We really appreciated the breakfast food that was provided. There are walking trails and beaches close by. The property has gardens and fruit trees and relaxing sitting areas. Paul and Val are amazing hosts and it was lovely to share our stories. Loved this place.

Would stay longer next time

Beautiful suite in beautiful surroundings! The hosts are warm and thoughtful and really went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The suite was thoughtfully equipped with extra things to make one's stay comfortable. It was like a home away from home.

We came in as strangers and left as friends. Java and Toffee enjoyed the large fenced in property, although Toffee wanted out when we left her the first time. Thanks to Paul and Val, for providing everything we needed for an excellent stay. Donald & Claudette

Vancouver Islands best kept secret with the perfect hosts to match, property is absolutely beautiful, the unit is very generous, a perfect getaway, sleeping quarters black right out and you can be comfortable if you like to sleep warm or cold, Val and Paul were so welcoming and were quick to start the relaxing vacation, and answer any question thrown their way!

Our 38-day stay at The Two Dogs Inn was amazing. Val and Paul provided unparalleled hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcomed and at home. This was our best VRBO experience yet. We brought along our 12+ year-old Yellow Lab, Roxy. Val and Paul were fantastic with her, and Roxy was always thrilled to spend time with them. We were pleasantly surprised to find supplies (eggs, milk, breakfast cereals, treats for Roxy, and more) waiting for us – a thoughtful touch we hadn’t encountered at other VRBO properties. The accommodation had everything we needed. It was impeccably clean, the bed was comfortable, and the warm shower had excellent water pressure. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the kitchen well-equipped. The fenced grounds were stunning and a great place to relax. At one point, we mentioned that the TV was on the small side for reading show descriptions. The very next day, Val and Paul replaced it with a brand new 55” HD model. Their attentiveness and responsiveness were truly outstanding. The location, on the other side of the bay from Highway 1, is rural and peaceful. We spent many hours on the deck, reading, sipping wine, and trying to capture the perfect photo of the many hummingbirds. Val and Paul’s local insights allowed us to explore the area to the fullest. We particularly enjoyed visiting nearby beaches, perfect for leisurely walks with Roxy. We look forward to our next visit to the island – The Two Dogs Inn is undoubtedly our first choice for accommodation.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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 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!

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!
