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.

Girls Weekend Away

We had a wonderful time in your little cottage. It was the perfect size for the three of us. The kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the random blankets to cozy up with in the mornings. We walked to the water (might drive to the park next time) but it was doable. The little boat launch beach had the most interesting rocks and sea glass. It was close to everywhere we were going and you could pick up a bottle of wine at the liquor/gas station on your way in. We felt very safe staying here well off the road and into the property with the other homes close by. Thanks for the fun stay.

Cosy getaway

Lovely cottage. Very clean and modern remodel.comfortable beds. The stairs to the upper two sleeping areas has a very narrow tread so a little scary but manageable. Would come back again.

This historic cottage is charming, spacious and functional. The Cable Bay Trail out to Joan Park along the coast is an absolute must walk. We had four days of rain and still enjoyed ourselves greatly, thanks to the games room.

Adorable cottage, lovely property manager.

Extremely charming property with fun amenities. We loved the game room and well kept kitchen, and the surrounding area is beautiful. One of the beds was somewhat uncomfortably rickety and the attic rooms were were rather warm in the summer heat, but everything else about the place was above and beyond. We had great interactions with the managers and all of their animals. Without doubt, we'd stay again! Absolutely worth the price point.

About the host

Hosted by Lacy Ebert

Host profile image
We are a busy family of 5, raising our kids with good work ethic and skills. We love where we live and have put countless hours into this dream.

Why they chose this property

We truly believe that we live in paradise. Our cottage tells so much history of the area and its generations of families that have once lived in it. We love its rustic charm and have tried to keep it as original as possible when we renovated it.
The community of Cedar has it all...beauty, trails, beaches, restaurants and pubs, to name only a few.

What makes this property unique

This property truly is a hidden gem. On a peaceful 10 acre farm our guests can truly unwind and absorb the tranquility of our rural lifestyle. We are walking distance to the beach and Cable Bay Trail community park, an amazing local hike that leads to Dodd's Narrows where sea lions and Orcas are often spotted. At the same time, we are within a short drive to any of Nanaimo's plentiful amenities.
