Very private acreage for a family or friend gathering. Perfect for children of all ages with nature walks, fairy houses on the trails, lakes and golf courses outside your door. Kyaking from your own private ocean front around the small islands and exploring the coastal waters is a lovely way to see the westcoast landscape. 3 Kyaks and oars are all provided. You don't have to leave the property to have a wonderful vacation. The property is a unique mixture of agriculture, equestrian property, estuary and 800 year old trees leading down to the ocean. Horses and deer are companions. Expansive fields, walking trails through private forest, 1/4 mile running track and grass areas for family games such as bocce ball, badminton, croquet and soccer. We have lots of lawn games here to use. Various walking trails along the ocean bluff. 40 fruit trees can be enjoyed during the fruit picking seasons. In the summer time you can swim off the dock in waters heated by the tidal sands. Digging for clams and oysters is also a favourite pastime in season. Horses on the property are always there for a good nuzzle looking for a carrot or treat. This private and beautiful house is spacious and comfortable for large groups or families who enjoy nature. All four bedrooms have private ensuites and there is a lower level relaxation, yoga and play area. All yoga mats, props already provided. Wonderful for any self directed workshops, book clubs, quilting groups or yoga groups looking for a spacious area to set their workshops. The host can also organize scavenger hunts, nature walks, horse drawn carriage rides or yoga and meditation. Lovely big fields and walking trails along the ocean bluff to your private dock. We are within walking distance of a beautiful golf course, Chemainus has a preforming arts theatre with quaint shopping and dining experiences. Within a 25 mile radius are some of BC's most celebrated vineyards, with farm to table restaurants.

The pictures on VRBO do not give it justice. The walking trails and oceans and amenities offered as well as the house and everything in it could not be improved upon. If you're looking for a place to stay with fresh air Outdoors trails and yet all the modern convenience of the whole house, I wouldn't pick anywhere else. ##### Tamara J.

Spectacular attentive host who provided enriching activities for the kids and responded to any questions/needs from adults. Kind, engaging, generous.

Our stays have always been a wonderful mix of tranquil peace and reading in the shade of the porch, combined with energetic outings (swimming, canoeing, kayaking, pickleball, fishing, walks, biking, etc). One of our sons found it a great place to prepare for his next triathlon. Great to re-connect as a family in such a spacious place. Francie and Kaydee are regular "visitors" to the guest house grounds, and we discovered that Francie likes to have her tummy rubbed! Our host Heidi is great at communicating and always gives us a warm welcome. We are very much looking forward already to our next (4th!) stay. ##### Maggi W.

The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. Each bedroom was equally comfortable--having a private bath for each bedroom was great! The kitchen was well-stocked with the basics and more. The best part of it was Heidi, the property manager. She lives next door and responded to every message immediately. She was so thoughtful about what we might enjoy. She arranged for the kids to brush the horses and take a ride into town in a horse-drawn carriage, which was fun for the adults, too! Our 6-year-old girl was captivated by the fairy houses, so Heidi brought over a beautiful box of materials that we used to build a fairy house. The property is beautiful. There is a big meadow and beautiful woods, and a lovely shoreline. The tide goes out a long way, so pay attention to tides if you want to go to the water. ##### Maureen T.

This is like having your own private park in your backyard. Decades old, towering cedar trees, local wildlife, interesting trails and all backing onto an inlet of the Salish Sea. When not exploring the amazing property there is a great nearby freshwater lake (if that is your preference) as well as the Saltspring Island Ferry and communities like Cowichan Bay and Chemainus.We liked the “farmhouse” feel of the home and the surrounding property was perfect for a family vacation. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eb52e891-a073-41c0-b93f-a7517bedb7f4-1753651069648.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/578f3aec-4c98-4ebe-b825-6b5e66357289-1753651074935.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d11ad8d4-5f2d-4c53-8cb6-18f225b5fe72-1753651082817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1de5d859-f4ea-46b0-b9ed-1e8bbb9d2e38-1753651089531.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rudy Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon M.
