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)

We loved ur cosy stay at the old far cottage. The hosts were so quick to respond, and our time at the cottage was quiet and peaceful. We loved the walk to Cable Bay, and thereโs lots of small town charm to enjoy. The stairs to the beds upstairs are steep so something to be mindful of if you have mobility issues. We would stay again. Thanks for a great time!
The cottage was a great base for our family while we stayed in the area for a wedding. It was comfortable and clean with a well stocked kitchen. Lacy was very responsive. Our kids loved the games room and saying hello to the horse.
The cottage was a great experience! The place was clean and comfortable equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed all the games in the game room, watching some classic DVD movies, and cooking on the Blackstone griddle. The place is very quiet and peaceful, and we loved listening to the frogs in the evenings. We also enjoyed exploring the trails around Cable Bay. Our host Lacy was fantastic and it was nice seeing Ronnie and Rosie walking around the property. Would highly recommend!
Had a fabulous time at Foggy Knoll cottage! Cottage was well equipped and my kids loved Ronnie the horse! The games room was also a big hit. Hope to return again soon!
Super cute cottage and the host even decorated it for Christmas which was really nice. Super comfortable beds and we enjoyed our stay. Great communication as well for anything needed. Thanks again!
Christmas in the cottage! It was easy because the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a festive dinner. The cottage was clean and comfortable, the games room would have been fun but it was quite chilly out so didn't spend much time out there. This is a great place for a family to stay and would highly recommend it.
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.
Everything was great! Check in was simple and the kitchen was charming.The hosts took care of us by bringing us flashlights during a power outage. We had a great time in a lovely rural setting.
Cozy little cottage where you find everything You need to have a good time including a washingmachine, a flattop bbq and a Gaming room with table-Soccer, airhockey and many more. Everything was nice and clean and every room was decorated lovely. The host are absolutely amazing and we had the best time we could possibly have!Our recommendation: have some nice days there!!!!
This was our first trip with our baby and we could not have picked a better place!!! We felt so at home, if we come back to the island we will for sure try to stay here again๐
Lovely little getaway cottage for 4 generations of family. Just as advertised. Very well equipped. The kids loved the games room. Stairs to upper floor narrow and steep so be cautious. Granny slept on the main floor! Thanks we will come again.

Just like it says it's a 100 year old cottage with a games room and plenty of space for my 3 kids. The kids stayed in the upper floor - note there are steeper than normal steps leading upstairs but my boys didn't mind. Plenty of attention to details throughout the house with all of modern comforts of home. Good central location close to Nanaimo for all of your day trips.
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.
