Earthen home in Mayne Island

Cob Cottage

Channel the pursuit of pause in this one-of-a-kind earth house. The cozy retreat was hand-sculpted using local and sustainable natural materials, and features a central living space with cantilevered slab stairs leading to the loft bedroom. Guests have access to the entire cottage and surrounding property. We live in the neighbouring house, and are happy to give advice or answer questions to help you make the most of your stay. The neighborhood is quite rural and mostly agricultural with several farms and a small private vineyard. The home is a 10 minute walk from the beach and a 20 minute walk from a family grocery and deli specializing in local organic produce. Mayne Island has a small community bus. Times and routes are limited, particularly in the winter. It will stop at the driveway. We also have an official hitch hiking system with signed Car Stops where you can wait for a ride. Usually you don't have to wait long. We are happy to offer pickup and drop off at the ferry dock as a courtesy to encourage car-free travellers, on days when the community bus is not running. Please let us know ahead of time that you'll be coming without your own transportation, and we will make sure that either we or the community bus (which will drop you off at our driveway) are there to meet you when your ferry arrives. The BC Ferries terminals near Victoria and Vancouver are easily reachable via public transit from their respective airports and downtowns.

Farm stay in Duncan

Charming countryside cabin with large private deck

MarkRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Frankly, not enough text space to summarize this whole place but will try my best. First holiday for my wife and myself as first time parents with a newborn, the hosts were incredibly accomodating & ensured the best fit for a little family and new borns first holiday, they were most welcoming and hospitable. Farm products available for purchase are top quality and freshly made from the farm itself - perfect! A tour was provided free of charge and we got the full history of the site and the buildings with a closer look into the architecture and livestock onsite. The Granary was spotless and pristine, the interior decorating/furniture suited the history of the restorated Granary. The building has such character inside and out - the best part is, all the restoration materials were from the existing Granary itself! Scenery surrounding is beautiful, listen to the sounds of the variety of birds and trees, grab your binoculars and get out on the deck! Bath, unreal. Wifi, who needs it? 10/10

Cowichan Bay Private Entrance 1-Bdrm Suite Quiet

JeccaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Cindy was super welcoming and kind. I was working late shifts and she turned her pretty outdoor lights on overnight for me to be able to have a lit path to walk when I’d get back in the middle of the night. I also have a feather allergy and she was super accommodating, making sure the suite was down free and clean for me before I arrived. Directions for arrival and parking were super clear and check in and out was simple. I was there for a little over two weeks and I had a wonderful stay.

The Zen-Den in the Properties of Maple Bay

MelaniaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My partner and I have spent 8 days at Connie and Douglas's accommodation, and there are no words to describe our super pleasant experience. It exceeded our expectations. The location is exceptional, the apartment is spacious and Connie has put details in it that make you feel at home. Moments in the private garden, surrounded by nature, are priceless. Baths in the jacuzzi with views of the forest, at sunrise and at night are an extra to take into account. But the most remarkable thing has been the extreme kindness of Connie and Douglas, always attentive, but without being intrusive, they responded to any need instantly. In addition, they treated us to snacks and delicious BC salmon. And coffee available all week. We also had a pleasant time chatting and drinking beers with them. They are great hosts and great people! We recommend them 100%, and hopefully we'll see each other again. We already miss the beauty, peace, and gratitude of the place and its owners.

Cedarsongs Suite Cozy and bright in Kinsol Valley

NicholeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a wonderful relaxing weekend away at Cedarsong’s suite and Celina was a great host. It is a very well appointed private space with modern furnishings and a cozy vibe. The linens and beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked, even with a waffle maker that we enjoyed using! They provide wonderful local bathroom products and artwork to appreciate. The outdoor area was beautiful with a bird feeding station full of local birds whose songs filled the air. We enjoyed our coffee and breakfast outside each morning and explored a nearby river, Kinsol trestle, Mill bay and Cowichan bay - all within a close drive. Would love to stay again and would recommend to anyone wanting to escape into nature with conveniences still nearby.

Private, guest house getaway!

GinaRating, 5 stars4 months ago

I had a wonderful experience staying at Milas suite. Her place was very clean, cozy and modern, with everything I needed. Mila was an amazing host - she was easy to reach and prompt with her responses. I even had to extend my stay and she graciously accommodated me. It was a quiet space for me to work. I enjoyed my time there and highly recommend it. Plus, it's a short distance to town for any errands.
