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.

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.

Great property and communcation was excellent. Ronnie the horse was an excellent neighbor and a kid favorite. Very quiet neighborhood and the house is cozy and well supplied with amenities. The stairs to the second floor are steep but to be expected on an old home. It can get quite hot upstairs in the hot summer days. The downstairs temperature is perfect. Would stay again for sure.

Family Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was clean and unique! My daughter lived watching the bunnies and hummingbirds. It is an old house so be prepared for creaky floors and bed, which added to the charm, for me. It was a bit of a drive when we wanted to go sight-seeing but I feel that that was fairly reflected in the price! Beautiful area and wonderful trip.

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.

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.
