About this property

100 year old Farm Cottage. Minutes from the beach!

  • This quaint, rustic cottage is located in the community of Cedar, just south of Nanaimo, on an accessible, yet secluded acreage.

    It is walking distance to the beach and boat launch and amazing trails, yet less than 15 minutes from downtown Nanaimo, as well as both ferry terminals and the airport.

    The quiet yard is surrounded by beautiful old maple, walnut, and fruit trees and overlooks the horse pasture and pond. It is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful morning cup of coffee or an evening sunset.

    An attached games room includes ping-pong, air hockey and foosball tables, as well as a dart board, for all to enjoy and entertain a family. Kids big and small, young or old will love it.

    The cottage boasts a cozy master bedroom on the main floor, situated off the main living area, and next to the bathroom. Upstairs is split in the middle with two additional attic-style bedrooms.

    A double futon is available in the living room, as well as a single sized roll out cot, both with supplied linens for additional guests. Also provided is a Graco pack and play, playpen for your little one.

    This 100+ year old original farmhouse has been freshly renovated, keeping its original rustic charm. We love it and think you will too!

    $50 cleaning fee for first couple ($25/guest thereafter)

    This cottage is located on our farm property, where where you may encounter our horse and our large friendly dog.

The place was beautiful and quiet. Lovely well stocked kitchen. The location is central to everything we wanted to do. The only thing that was a bit of an issue was the staircase to the 2nd floor. It's almost a ladder and impossible for people with age challenges or disabilities. Well worth the price. Would return.

Christmas in the cottage! It was easy because the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a festive dinner. The cottage was clean and comfortable, the games room would have been fun but it was quite chilly out so didn't spend much time out there. This is a great place for a family to stay and would highly recommend it.

Great quiet place to gather in fall/winter when the weather means you want to spend more time indoors. Very authentic old house but has all the necessary updates. The stairs to bedrooms are extremely steep - I'd be nervous of some kids around them. The host has clearly put a lot of work into it - lots of extra touches to make it homey.

Just like it says it's a 100 year old cottage with a games room and plenty of space for my 3 kids. The kids stayed in the upper floor - note there are steeper than normal steps leading upstairs but my boys didn't mind. Plenty of attention to details throughout the house with all of modern comforts of home. Good central location close to Nanaimo for all of your day trips.

Peaceful Getaway

This was a fantastic getaway to end summer! Close enough, yet far enough away from the bustle of Nanaimo. The cottage was tastefully decorated, had everything we needed and the games room provided endless entertainment....as did the resident horse!

Super clean and organized, amazing location, lovely host re: communication.As other reviews say, the stairs are extremely steep. Also felt like the upstairs were not really "bedrooms", it was more like the upstairs double bed "room" is like a doorless bedroom and and the single beds are right there, at the top of the steps.You need to walk past them to access the other double bed room.Still - the place is well worth the price, and we will likely be back one day.
