| This is the place to be if you want to get away from
it all in the quiet, peaceful country and still only be an eight minute
drive from Courtenay on central Vancouver Island. Our recently remodeled
home is set amongst towering cedars on five acres of farm land at
the base of Forbidden Plateau Mountain. Wake to the pastoral sound
of a rooster crowing or frogs croaking in the pond. Drive out wonderful
country roads through farm lands and forests and over sparkling rivers
to our country retreat.
The towns of Comox and Cumberland are part of the Comox Valley and are 15 to 20 minutes drive away. The Comox Glacier on Forbidden Plateau Mountain is the Comox Valley's famous landmark. The Forbidden Plateau area is the southern gateway to the internationally famous Stathcona Park and is only a 10 minute drive away. Legends say that the area is inhabited by evil spirits, but at our B&B you will only find friendly spirits and superb hospitality. The start of the Mount Washington Highway is only 6 minutes from our home. A newly paved road takes you to fantastic skiing in the winter and wonderful hiking in Strathcona Park in the summer through alpine meadows and by shimmering lakes . Behind our property there is a 350 acre forest reserve with miles of trails leading from our place to the Puntledge River and beautiful Nymph Falls Park. The trails have recently been extended right up to Comox Lake. If you feel like a dip, there are some of the nicest swimming holes in the Comox Valley. The Puntledge Fish Hatchery is nearby where you can see salmon being raised. They welcome visitors. Relax in our gazebo amid the trees at the back of our property. It is a wonderfully private place to picnic, read a book, share a glass of wine or just commune with nature. For the birdwatcher, we have many varieties, including robins, stellar jays, woodpeckers, pine siskins, eagles, Oregon junkos, varied thrushes and in season, hummingbirds. The day starts out with our full country breakfasts featuring homemade baking and jams, seasonal fruit from our garden and our special green or brown eggs, fresh from our chickens. Our freshly ground coffee is high quality and the pot is bottomless. |

We have two cats and a friendly dog, they are outside pets. Your well behaved dogs are welcome, please contact us. Our home is a smoke free environment. Smoking is permitted on decks and patios. |
