This is a beautiful little restaurant about 5km from our house. It is in a lovely yellow house on a hill near Peddar Bay, and Matheson Lake Road.
Closed on Tuesday and Wednesday but well worth the visit for the fantastic local food.

a 1km loop starting at the parking lot will take you through a beautiful Douglas fir forest, to a lovely rocky beach and back up along a meadow-y bridle trail. This trail has it all. Great for running, hiking or walking your dog. Gorgeous views and wildlife everywhere.

A wonderful place to swim in the summer. Follow the trail all the way around the lake to find secret rocks to stretch out on. The beach is a good place to wade in as it is shallow and warm. Dogs are welcome everywhere (except the beach area from June to October.)
