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 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 couple ($25/guest thereafter)

charming cottage
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.

The perfect cottage
This property is an absolute dream. Everything was perfect about our stay. Well stocked kitchen to cook in, comfortable furniture and beds, great linens and such a beautiful property. We stayed 8 guests in total comfortably and had one of the best weekends I can remember. Took a walk down to the water and watched sea lions swim by against the beautiful views. The hosts were extremely gracious as well. Our whole group of friends is excited for another chance to come back and visit. It is exactly what we wanted and cozier than anything you could ask for. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and restful
Idyllic cottage. So quiet. Well appointed kitchen—everything you could possibly need has been provided including dishwasher and even items to picnic with. Owners extremely lovely—very responsive on Vrbo and just very nice honest people. Great layout for us—my mum has mobility issues so it was perfect to have the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs is a bedroom with two single beds that leads into another bedroom (no door in between, so probably handy if you have kids) with a double bed. Very comfortable. Laundry in the basement (so two sets of steep stairs but no problem for us). Beautiful horse paddock on property and two very happy friendly Great Danes. We wanted to stay longer :)

Winter vacation over New Years Eve
We had a very pleasant stay. The hosts set us up very well and made the place feel just perfect for a Christmas / New Years visit. The front porch provided much needed space, and the kitchen met all our needs. The games room was a highlight, though chilly at this time of year to spend much time in. Perhaps adding a couple of heaters would help. The laundry facilities were helpful and very appreciated. I was caught off guard a bit by the steep stairs to the 2nd floor. I found it challenging, though that's where the kids slept so I was okay. One thing that would help would be multi-plug outlet extenders, as in this old property, we struggled sometimes to find a place to plug our devices in (minor problem). The advertisement said "minutes from the beach", For some reason, I thought that meant walking distance - that was a slight disappointment for me. However, the Cable Bay 2KM trail was a huge highlight and could be commented on in your advertisement. Thanks for everything! We truly had a wonderful stay and our kids are still talking about "the cottage" now that we are back home.
