About this property

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.

Great quiet place to gather in fall/winter when the weather means you want to spend more time indoors. Very authentic old house but has all the necessary updates. The stairs to bedrooms are extremely steep - I'd be nervous of some kids around them. The host has clearly put a lot of work into it - lots of extra touches to make it homey.

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.

Perfect ocean getaway

We are a large family of 8, with kids between 6-12, and this property was close to the beach, amenities, and hikes. We all very comfortable fit in the extra cute cottage and it had everything we needed and more. The games room is incredible!

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 farmhouse was absolutely lovely! It was just what we needed to relax and enjoy some time away. All the little details and decor were carefully thought out. It seemed like it had everything we needed for cooking. The beds and couches were comfortable. It was so relaxing and we loved staying there! If you are going in winter, you may want to remember to bring slippers with you.

Great stay for a family!

We had a great stay at this property, sufficient beds for everyone. The house was very clean and the kitchen was extremely well stocked, especially loved the black stone grill. Things got a bit warm in the upstairs bedrooms where the air conditioning did not reach. Only improvement would be to add screens to the upstairs windows so opening them doesn’t let all the mosquitoes in!

Weekend getaway

My friends and I loved the cottage! Our expectations were absolutely exceeded. When we arrived we all felt as if we were the French country side. The space was so clean and had everything we could possibly need from games and movies to all the kitchen appliances. The property was lush and we loved getting greeting by friendly animals when we arrived. Lacy was very sweet and easy to communicate with. We all agreed we would love to stay there again!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Lacy Ebert

Host profile image
We are a busy family of 5, raising our kids with good work ethic and skills. We love where we live and have put countless hours into this dream.

Why they chose this property

We truly believe that we live in paradise. Our cottage tells so much history of the area and its generations of families that have once lived in it. We love its rustic charm and have tried to keep it as original as possible when we renovated it.
The community of Cedar has it all...beauty, trails, beaches, restaurants and pubs, to name only a few.

What makes this property unique

This property truly is a hidden gem. On a peaceful 10 acre farm our guests can truly unwind and absorb the tranquility of our rural lifestyle. We are walking distance to the beach and Cable Bay Trail community park, an amazing local hike that leads to Dodd's Narrows where sea lions and Orcas are often spotted. At the same time, we are within a short drive to any of Nanaimo's plentiful amenities.
