About Dorothy's Guest House

 

   Dorothy's Guest House is located in Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island , BC.

     I am often asked "what's the difference between a B&B and your guest house".  Simply put, at my guest house you are welcome to bring your food and prepare a meal at anytime in the well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen has a full size fridge & stove and includes cupboard space for all your supplies. This way you can eat what you want, when you want it. 

     I have lived in this beautiful home since 2008.  On the main floor of the guest house there are 2 separate bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room and a large bathroom with double sinks.  My personal living space is located on the top floor of the house.  I share the kitchen and deck area with the main floor guests.

    There is also a self-contained  private 1 bedroom suite located in the lower level of the guest house. Please go to "Rooms & Rates" for a full description of each option.
