About this property

Unique private cottage steps from the river

Book yourself a romantic week-end in a stylish and modern guest cottage, located in a quiet family-oriented neighbourhood steps away from river swimming, fishing and great walking trails - 2 min walk! The house is open-concept with a comfortable queen bedroom and a very functional layout and its own private garden. Get fresh eggs from the host's chickens. Downtown Courtenay is a 15 min walk away and the whole Comox Valley, from ocean beaches to golfing and skiing, is within a 20-min drive.

Kick back and relax in our cottage designed by Goldfinch Small Home Design. The indoor space features one queen size bedroom and an open-concept galley kitchen with dining space (seats 4) and a living room. The living room includes a very comfortable pull-out couch and the bathroom features a luxurious tiled rainfall shower. The kitchen is compact but very functional and fully equipped with the usual appliances (induction hotplates, convection toaster oven, coffee maker, etc... ). The unique-shaped windows fill the cottage with natural light.

Outside the glass side door you will find a wrap-around deck that gives onto your own private garden area and a view of the forest. The cottage sits next to our main house and the garden is fully-fenced (we have a big gentle dog) and includes our veggie patch and chicken coop. We look forward to providing you with daily fresh eggs!

Cozy cabin

This is a wonderful little cabin in a great location. The hosts were responsive and the check-in and check out was very easy. The property is clean and well equipped, the bed was really comfortable. Easy access to downtown and the river. Would stay again!

The place was beautiful and in a great location. Our only thing is it was super hot so to try and cool it down we had to open windows and there was no screens so lots of mosquitoes and flies came in.

Perfect Little Home

We loved our tiny home. We stayed here for a week while visiting our daughter and new baby. It had everything we needed and Andy our host was very helpful. It was a short walk to the river and many beautiful hiking trails. Downtown was also a short walk with access to restaurants and shops. We will be back.

Perfect for our purposes

We as a family were visiting friends in the neighbourhood so used mainly for sleeping. Very close to park and nothing that far away. Well appointed accommodation, very comfortable.

Perfect sized get-a-way close to walking trails

This property is spacious and clean. It is in a perfect location for river trail access and is not far from downtown Courtenay. The friendly property owner lives on site and is quick to respond to questions and issues. There is no cable TV and the internet is very slow making it impossible to watch Netflix with our own account. The property has big beautiful windows, which is lovely during the day, but if you like darkness for sleeping, the blinds are not room darkening, so I recommend bringing an eye mask. This is a nice quiet neighborhood with little street noise.
