A breath of fresh air, this modern suite has a West Coast vibe. The suite offers everything you need for a relaxing stay: • queen-sized bed with a Canadian-made mattress • comfortable Canadian-made queen size pull-out couch • luxurious soaker tub with a shower attachment (please note there is no standard shower) • fully stocked kitchen includes a dining area and the covered outdoor patio in our garden is ideal for morning coffee, rain or shine. • energy efficient ductless heat pump (air conditioning & heater) which you can set to your desired temperature all year long. • we provide umbrellas, earplugs, toothbrushes and other extras — just in case! On rainy days, cuddle up on the couch with complimentary popcorn and watch CBC Gem or Crave on the smart TV. You’re also welcome to check out the collection of DVDs, log into your own streaming services or surf the channels of Samsung TV Plus. We even provide an HDMI cable if you'd prefer to connect to your own device. We take pride in offering locally roasted Salt Spring Coffee beans, coffee grinder, and a choice of brewing methods including French press, pour-over, and drip coffee maker. Coffee not your thing? There’s also a selection of Westholme Teas from the Cowichan Valley, featuring both black and herbal blends. We love all flora and fauna, and take great joy in wild spaces. The Wayward Inn is surrounded by beautiful shade and flower gardens, a vegetable garden, and a small orchard. It is a sanctuary for nature lovers. We practice permaculture, using compost from our chickens in the gardens, and incorporate native plants including sword ferns, cedar trees, and columbine. When in season, enjoy complimentary fresh produce from our garden — now that’s local! Family-Friendly Stays at The Wayward Inn: We welcome families to enjoy a relaxing getaway at The Wayward Inn! As parents ourselves, we’ve designed the space with families in mind and are happy to provide: • Understanding hosts that know kids will be kids and will make noise (not to worry, we won't hear you as we will be hearing our own kiddo!) • Queen size pull-out couch bed for extra sleeping arrangements • Pack & play travel crib (available upon request) • High chair (available upon request) • Umbrella stroller (available upon request) • A cozy space perfect for game nights or family movie nights • Kid’s dishes and toys Our location, just a 1/2 block from the ocean, offers easy access to family-friendly beach outings, a spacious playground, picnic areas, a boat launch, and a treasure-filled shoreline. Whether you're strolling together or exploring, there's something for everyone. If you need anything to make your stay more comfortable, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re always here to help make your family vacation unforgettable! Are you traveling with your furry best friend? We welcome up to two dogs per reservation. We charge a one-time fee of $25 per reservation to help cover the extra cleaning it requires. We welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and more - come as you are and stay a while! Accessibility: Our unit has 15 stairs with varying gradients, and only a few steps have a handrail. If navigating stairs or using a deep soaker tub poses challenges for you, our space may not be suitable for your needs. Please see photos and send us a message before booking with any questions, we are happy to help. Pets live on property: You may see our dog Norman or hear our chickens from time to time. They do not have access to your space. Potential for noise: We live above the unit so you will hear us living our lives above you. This includes hearing our toddler and large dog (who rarely barks). We aren’t tap dancing above you but you will hear floorboards creak sometimes. Good news: we can't hear you and we are nearby if you need anything. Please Note: Our home is equipped with security cameras monitoring the exterior. No cameras are placed inside the unit or on the private patio, prioritizing your privacy. Feel free to ask us for more details.
