Enjoy a masterwork of hospitality

Beck Lake Luxury Guest House is owner Gayle Gniazdoski's masterpiece, the culmination of a lifetime in the hospitality and service industry. Overlooking Beck Lake in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, this rural sanctuary amid west coast cedars and firs is the ideal location for her vision of the perfect Guest House retreat.

"I wanted an extraordinary setting, a place where people would feel privileged from the moment they arrived. I realize many of our guests juggle hectic schedules filled with the stress of constant demands, noise, and overload. I wanted to give them something everyone needs - a beautiful place to celebrate, to gather, and to unwind and rejuvenate."

Development of Beck Lake Luxury Guest House took five years, starting with the design and construction of the Guest House. Unlike properties which have been converted to serve as guest accommodation, Beck Lake Guest House in Nanaimo was designed from the outset to serve as vacation accommodation, with luxurious privacy built into every square inch.

"I'm especially proud of our four-and-a-half star rating, which reflects the effort I've put into creating this Guest House." A perfectionist with a talent for design, Gayle wanted every guest to experience an affordable world of luxury in which no detail had been overlooked.

Examples of her attention to detail include:

• Individual volume controls for the speakers strategically placed throughout the property, in the Guest House and on the grounds
• Custom-made, coordinated furniture designed specifically for the Guest House and for the Serenity Suite in Gayle's home
• A combination jacuzzi and hydro-therapy bathtub and shower, guaranteed to soothe sore bodies and ease stressed spirits
• Egyptian cotton sheets and feather-light pillows and duvets to ensure downy comfort and restful sleep

The creation of a luxurious and rejuvenating sanctuary continues on the grounds, which feature a delightful rock garden overlooking the lake in rural south Nanaimo. Dotted with multiple fountains, the private garden also includes a fire pit, benches placed to showcase the view, speakers for background music, and nighttime illumination.

In addition to the Guest House, Beck Lake also offers the beautiful Serenity Suite, a combination of bedroom, private bathroom and sitting room in the main house.

Gayle's previous hospitality industry experience includes six years' operating a successful bed and breakfast in Brentwood Bay, near the world-renowned Butchardt Gardens. She is also a superlative chef, having owned and operated five successful restaurants.

This wealth of experience gives her the skills to offer guests an enhanced level of service, whether it is ensuring the perfect wedding cake, catering for a business retreat, or sending the company limousine to pick up guests at the Nanaimo airport.

"Everything I've learned about hospitality is poured into Beck Lake Luxury Guest House," Gayle said. "This place is my dream realized and I always look forward to sharing it with my guests."
