About this property
Stunning 1/2 Acre Park-Like Property. Professionally Designed & Decorated
Rare opportunity to relax and rejuvenate at this 1/2 acre tranquil setting in the heart of Chemainus on beautiful Vancouver Island. This comfy, cozy, tranquil paradise offers 8 different seating areas to view the creek, pond, mature trees and thoughtful landscaping -a true escape to nature. Enjoy the professionally designed English inspired cabin, with a separate kitchen and bathroom down a beautiful lit path.
**NO SHARED SPACES** The cabin, kitchen, bathroom and entire yard is for your use only. Feel free to walk the grounds and enjoy the property as if it were your own.
Plush housecoats and slippers are provided for the short 10 second open air walk from the cabin to the private kitchen and bathroom. Although most guests describe the beautifully lit walk as “spa like”, please note that if you need the facilities at night, you will be walking outside.
Chemainus is an amazing town that is highlighted on the series “Still Standing”. Rich in history and perseverance, Chemainus is famous for the mural self guided tour that features over 50 murals.
Chemainus is the perfect location to have as a home base while exploring different areas of Vancouver Island.
