The location was spectacular, we saw dozens of bald eagles on the water and the trees around the property. I was unable to read at bedtime because the light was not working so the only light was the overhead one.

It was a unique experience to stay on a tugboat. The room and bathroom were teeny tiny which is to be expected on a boat but the beds were clean and comfortable. We had a sitting room adjacent to our room which gave us more space. The host was friendly and the breakfast was excellent. The host also recommended a Moroccan restaurant run by his wife which was 3 blocks away and which was excellent. The problem with our visit was that it was chilly during our stay and there was no heat upstairs in the boat where our accommodation was situated. Also, the window to the bathroom would not close. I was way too chilly to shower and the sitting room was also too cold.

I booked for a double bed room and was provided with a 2-twin bunk bed room. It was freezing cold at night. Before you choose this place search about sleeping in crew rooms in a tub boat.

I felt so uncomfortable being there. Nothing as indicated on hotels.com website is how the property actually was. It was not mentioned that you would have to shower a bathroom and shower with guests in 5 other rooms. The rooms were tiny with no AC and some of the most uncomfortable bunk beds I ever stayed on. The doors have no locks. The hosts ask you to go to your room at 1030 and not make any noise. I had to leave as I felt super uncomfortable especially with half naked people going from shower to rooms and since doors can’t be locked or closed everything was visible. On top of it town closes at 7pm with nothing to do afterwards plus highway is closed for next few years making it impossible to access property. Booked two nights asked owner for a refund of 2nd night and he said I had to discuss with Expedia and then he pulled out his machine to charge me. Extremely disappointed with this property as nothing from website is realistic of property. They offer breakfast so we mentioned we were leaving early just to get on highway before they closed and never offered anything to bring with us.

The Tug boat is such a neat experience to try, with amazing food and cute cabins to stay in. Daniel and Bouchra are outstanding chefs, and very accommodating. If you have any motion sickness, this is not the adventure for you. Even docked, I did not have the sea legs for this lovely boat. My husband and son did very much enjoy the stay!

Probably in the top 10 of unique lodgings in western Canada. 2nd visit, this time I brought my 70 yr old mother. She loved it. Leave your 5star hotel comfort and yacht expectations behind for this 100 yr old Tug boat. Rooms are as pictured.. tiny and not a lot of space. Shower and toilets are clean and shared. Breakfast is deliciously local produce and unique. The hosts are gracious, accommodating and eager to make your stay comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back for a third stay and you shouldn’t hesitate to experience it for yourself. Re: the review from Elaine.. this reads like someone who had unrealistic expectations, constructed a fantasy in her head and failed to review any info of the accommodations. When she discovered her fantasy was not matched with reality, instead of adjusting her expectations she took it out on the hosts. Having stayed numerous times, I find her review ridiculous, petulant and absurd.

I would not recommend it!! Upon arrival our lady host was full of attitude. The property was poorly kept up. The room itself was very small, no room for our luggage. Beds were were more for children. We were suppose to have dinner, no dinner. Not enough booked, so they canceled n never told us. When asked, she said take it up with her husband. It was very disappointing. We were looking so forward to the whole dinner n drinks n sleeping on the Tug boat. Just a whole disappointment. We stayed at another hotel last minute. We could not get our refund back, cause of that day of cancelation. Which I believe swept Away didn't live up, with what n how they advertise. We should of gotten a refund or half of it back. I would not recommend, this property.

This was the highlight of our mother-daughter trip to the Island! She’ll always remember the time we slept on a boat. Hosts were lovely - that unique combination of warm/welcoming and yet professional… gave us plenty of space for quiet reflection on the deck. And what a beautiful view of the harbour from there! Other guests were quiet, it’s not a party boat, which suited me fine. The hosts also pull the steps in and lock the gate at night, which made me feel that my teen daughter and I were safe while sleeping. Before our stay I was worried a houseboat would rock too much as I’m prone to motion sickness, but it barely moved. I was also worried that I would barely sleep on a boat bunk, but the bed was so comfortable, I slept like a log. Coffee was ready when I got up, breakfast was home-made and delicious. They even accommodated my need for gluten-free, which was a pleasant surprise. I would absolutely recommend the Swept Away Inn!
