We had an amazing three-night stay at the Chicken Inn over the Victoria Day weekend. My wife, our two dogs, and I thoroughly enjoyed this charming cottage on Vancouver Island. The location is perfect—secluded enough to feel like a true retreat, yet conveniently close to Parksville and just a 30-minute drive from Nanaimo.
The fenced yard was fantastic for our dogs, who were participating in agility trials nearby. They loved the space to run and play safely. My wife adored the hot tub, which provided the perfect way to unwind after busy days. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring we all had restful nights.
The kitchen, though small, was very functional and well-equipped with a stove and fridge. We enjoyed cooking our meals and made good use of the BBQ and propane fire pit in the front yard, which added to the cozy, homey atmosphere.
The host, Shantel, was wonderful and communicative, making sure we had everything we needed. She even offered us fresh chicken eggs for breakfast, which was a delightful touch since my wife loves chickens. The presence of chickens on the property added a unique and charming element to our stay.
Overall, our experience at the Chicken Inn was exceptional. It’s a perfect spot for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway, and we would love to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of Vancouver Island!
