The space is very accommodating and comfortable! The hosts were awesome to deal with and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Great views and plenty to do from kayaking or paddle boarding to relaxing on the dock. Will definitely try to rebook when we come back to the area.
The pictures do not reflect how exceptionally beautiful the accommodation is. It is even more beautiful than in the pictures. We really enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend Gio and Julie as hosts.
What a beautiful place to be and stay! The perfect place to relax and enjoy the lovely views of the lake and serene setting all around you. Julie & Gio are wonderful hosts, too! Highly recommend this VRBO...
My family thouroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment on Sproat Lake. We kyaked, swam, hiked and fished with a nearby Charter based out of Port Alberni. A great Fall weekend get-away for couples and families alike. The hostess, Julie, was incredibly welcoming and accomodating! We highly recommend this property for those seeking a quiet and relaxing weekend on a lake.

Our time at this property was one of the highlights of our trip to Vancouver Island! It was very clean and comfortable with a wonderful view. We would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area.
Our family had an amazing time! Julie and Gio were gracious hosts and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and provide information about local activities. The property itself is beautiful and location on the lake was wonderful. We enjoyed lounging on the dock and taking the kayaks out on the lake. Would not hesitate to book this property again.
We had a fabulous time! Julie and Gio are wonderful hosts and their attention to detail was great. We relaxed on the deck and borrowed their kayaks and paddle boards to explore the lake. It was a perfect and relaxing summer vacation! We will definitely be back!
We arrived later than expected but we were greeted warmly. The space was absolutely wonderful. Views of the lake from every window. A fully equipped kitchen, everything we needed was available. The sound of the lake and a full moon were fantastic after a difficult 12 hour day of travel. We enjoyed the dock, paddle boards and kayaks. Julie and Gio know how to make you feel at home.
We had such an amazing time on the lake. The suite was more than we could have asked for or needed. Julie and Gio did everything possbile to make our stay one that will be remembered. Thank you both for sharing such a wonderful place.
Great place to destress and relax. Just what we needed. New, clean and cozy. Wonderful, sunny deck with very nice furnishings throughout. We had perfect weather and enjoyed the BBQ. Beware of the stairs. I would definitely come back!
Julie and Gio were incredible hosts. The property, accommodations, and amenities are outstanding with everything you could need for a great vacation. My teenagers made full use of the lake, paddle boards and of course the wifi. The deck was a perfect location for morning coffee or evening meals and everything in between.
Besides being incredibly well appointed accommodations, the hosts were very in tune with our needs and ensured that everything about our stay was perfect.
Definitely plan to return.
We had a super stay at Julie and Gioâs. Despite arriving during a downpour they greeted us and were available to help get us settled. Julie even had the fireplace going for a cozy welcome. Julie was very accommodating and checked in with us, via email, a few times to ensure we had everything we needed.
The unit is clean, spacious and well-appointed with everything you would need from kitchen items, linens and general comfort items. Despite sharing the property with Julie and Gio, we felt we had lots of privacy.
Had the weather cooperated, we would have enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks that were set out for our use. The view of the lake is awesome and having the undercover outdoor sitting area helped us to enjoy that, even in cooler temperatures.
We would definitely recommend a stay in this unit.
Julie and Gio are wonderful people and fantastic hosts! We greatly enjoyed our stay in their two bedroom, 1 bathroom suite. We spent a lot of time swimming from their dock, and enjoying the kayaks and paddle boards that they provide for their guests to use. They even took us on a boat tour of the lake, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you Gio and Julie!
The house is situated on Stirling Arm and the location is incredibly beautiful. The water is so clear and inviting. We settled in quickly and felt very comfortable. It was perfect for our family of 3. We feel very thankful that we had the opportunity to enjoy a week in their suite in August.
For our first lake visit to Sproat Lake we couldn't ask for a better experience. Julie and Gio's home was immaculate. A comfy and well considered home on the second level with everything you need. Julie met us upon arrival and went above and beyond by helping me carry in some luggage and then showed us around the property. They allowed us to use their paddleboards and kayaks as well as their beautiful dock on the water. It was a dream for all of us and our children said it was the best vacation ever! Thank you!!!
We couldn't have been happier to stay at Julie and Gio's lovely place on Sproat Lake, which is even better in person than in the images! The deck is the perfect spot for watching the geese take off and the clouds drift by while having a glass of wine and catching up among old friends. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking great meals, the beds are luxuriously comfortable, the rain shower is spa-like, and the place is spotless. Wonderful hosts in a magical place.
Other notes: this is not a property for people with mobility issues due to the flight of otherwise easily navigable outdoor stairs. The second bedroom is much cozier than it looks in the pictures and has a view through the kitchen out to the water if you keep the sliding doors open. We took Julie's recommendations of the Lighthouse trail walk in Ucuelet and the taco truck and ocean beach walks in Torfino for a perfect (but full) day outing.
Quiet, clean, and super comfortable place. Beautiful views from the primary bedroom, no windows in the 2nd bedroom and itâs off the kitchen so not especially private but just fine for my 9yo twins who donât mind sharing a bed. Beds were so comfy, I slept 9-14 hours every night. Lovely to sit outside on the deck or the dock, and swimming off the dock was EXCEPTIONAL; Iâm an avid open water swimmer and enjoyed it so much. Clean, clear, perfect refreshing temps. The lake bottom isnât nice, itâs rocky and mushy - so itâs best for kids that will wear life jackets or can swim in water over their heads. Jumping off the dock was so much fun and they have beautiful and safe stairs for getting in and out. 2 paddle boards! 4 kayaks! So much to explore! Julie and Gio are charming and friendly hosts who really respected our privacy and were always on call for anything we needed.
-Sparklingly clean.
-Well constructed home.
-Solid bed with fluffy comforter.
-Excellent kitchen for those who enjoy cooking.
-Access to rental requires use of 20 or so steps down and then back up. Only including this in case you are travelling with elderly or infirm loved ones.
-Stunning view from expansive patio.
-Rental is on floor below main home. For those who this may concern, the owners were onsite but truly respected our privacy.We felt like the house and property were ours alone. They greeted us and came out to say good bye. Very nice people.
-Home is nicely located so we could drive to Cathedral Grove and Little Qualicum Falls
-For those who enjoy an invigorating, scenic and twisting drive that gives opportunity to actually 'drive' a car then the home is also nicely located for a drive to Tofino or Ucluelet.
We hope to return one day and recommend this property without hesitation
We had an amazing time at this property, the kids are 8 & 10 and this was a perfect property for exploring. Thank you so much Julie and Gio for being such kind hosts, we hope to be back one day.
The apartment is a beauty. First class construction, super clean. There's a sunny deck looking over Sprout Lake. It's one of the best swimming lakes I've been in (early September) with a large party/swimming dock on the lake. Separate entrance and parking area. We really enjoyed meeting the owners - they are nearby and helpful but not intrusive. Would come back in a minute.
Relaxing and fun family stay. Suite had spectacular views of Sproat Lake with access to its own dock and convenient access to paddle boards/kayaks and floatation devices. Great hosts. Thank you Julie and Gio for a very memorable family stay!
Julie and Gio have a beautiful home on Sproat Lake. The suite has all the comforts of home and is very well appointed. I am looking forward to coming back one day in the summer when we can fully enjoy the lake.
