Spent 3 nights at the Arbutis house. Beautiful grounds, stunning views and the owners were kind and helpful. There was a group of us renting multiple accommodations on the property - we’ll be back!

Room was fine. But I don’t know if it was the heater or something else in there that caused this but the air tasted gross and now my lungs are absolutely destroyed, it hurts to cough and I’m freezing. Idk what’s up with that but I’m 100% certain it’s something to do with the room I stayed in.
