My children and I loved our stay at Misty Haven!
The property is beautiful and the host is very kind.
The animals are very sweet and the garden and orchard are plentiful!
We would definitely go back!
The camper was very comfortable as was the bed. It was very clean and private. The view from the porch is beautiful. The owners are friendly and helpful. It is easy to get around the island from this location and a convenient ferry trip to visit Gabriola island for a day.
Everything clean and lovely and waiting for us......always. Lovely hosts who are very helpful and welcoming but disappear immediately and respect our privacey. Very organised and well thought out kitchen supplies and bedding, fresh towels offered. Beautiful nature inspired retreat. Gorgeous covered wooden deck to relax under and plenty of grassy space to wander through at your liesure. Produce shack at the entrance to the property (during summer into fall) offering farm fresh eggs, plums, blueberries and other garden delights. Guaranteed peace at a reasonable price.
Loved the Old McDonald's farm vibe. Goats! Chickens! Ducks! Orchards! Lee was so welcoming and easy going. We stayed in the RV, which was roomy for the two of us and well-appointed, incl outlets near the bed for overnight charging. Chose the bunk bed cubby over the Queen size bed and slept like a baby.
Unfortunately we didn't know we were going to stay in the RV, which is uninsulated, so weren't quite dressed warm enough. Also, communicating before arrival was difficult; we didn't know that communication was going to be through VRBO, and when we found out, we had a hard time figuring out how we were going to access the property. We did find out but the lead up to it was stressful. The noise from the nearby highway was quite noticeable.
The RV is as pictured and very clean! The farm is lovely and the deck is great. Our kids loved visiting the goats and chickens. We didn’t interact with the host very much but wandered around the property on our own. It was great to have use of the laundry! A couple little touches would really elevate the stay, for example a more user friendly BBQ, and maybe a few kitchen staples (byo coffee!). Overall we were satisfied with our stay and would recommend!
This was exactly what we needed while staying in this area!!! It was quiet and quaint and pet friendly! The farm has goats (mini), chickens , and apples and berries. Alittle bit out of the city. Just enough!!! The hosts were friendly and left us to ourselves. We were there for a rather stressful situation but this place was a mind and stress realever . We rally enjoyed our time there

We enjoyed the surroundings, with wild berries, nature a nice outdoor area to hang out and the RV was long. They also had about a dozen goats, which my kids loved feeding with apples and peanuts provided at no cost by the kind owner. Unfortunately, there were some setbacks during our stay. The RV is located close to the highway, and the main mattress squeaked, keeping me awake all night. The RV’s interior was dated, though not a deal breaker. The mattress my son slept on had dog hairs. Additionally, the place was quite hard to locate as there was no proper signboard. The RV was situated behind the house with no view from the road, and my messages went unanswered. Without these issues it would've been a great experience.

Fun with the animals. Very friendly owners. Country feel. Mountain view.
Misty Haven had the feel of staying on a farm . The trailer worked well for what we wanted . Shower and washroom (only for people staying in the trailer) was available in the nearby house which was nice as the trailer shower was a bit on the small side . Had a bit of a side with the hot water heater but eventually it appeared to work itself out . Trans Canada trail is right at the back of the property which is quite handy if you should want to access it . Farm animals were quite nice to have around and the goats were quite entertaining in the evening . Overall we had a good stay .
Very nice relaxing getaway !I am very fond of the RV, so many cabinets and so spacious! The bed is so comfortable and pillows so soft! The host is so friendly and welcoming, I love the farm animals as well! Such a simpleway of living. I loved looking into the nice mountains view.i will be staying here again I highly recommend this place!10 starts for me
Really enjoyed staying at Misty Haven Farm. Sitting on the deck in the evening watching the natural world and the roster with his clutch of hens grazing amid the rabbits, listening to the birds...a wonderful place to rest, relax and regroup with caring hosts.

We had a special time at this place. We stayed in a recreational vehicle. The owner was very kind to us, and there were many animals.
Very accommodating people, lovely place, will try to go again

The family hosting us were extremely responsive and hospitable. I would recommend this for any family looking for a quiet farm stay experience!
We took bikes along and there’s a back gate with access to the main bicycle trail from the farm. That was helpful as it let us access Ladysmith, Saltair and Chemainus.

A lovely family owns this small farm and recreation trailer. The property has dwarf goats and an orchard. Come at the right time of year and you can pick apples!
The trailer is older but very clean; we loved the veranda and outdoor area with lights and a lantern. If you are looking for an alternative to being cooped up in a hotel room, this is a good option. It would be fantastic for children as they can run around the property.
The only down side is the three dogs that are very vocal and up against the fence when you come in. They made me a bit nervous - I found myself checking to make sure the wire fence looked study enough to hold them - and I'm a dog lover.

We loved petting the goats and watching the chickens.
Great people, very welcoming and helpfull. However VRBO's advertising was completely misleading, I expected to pay $110. per night as advertised on the website and was charged a total of $700,
I will never use VRBO again, nor will I recommend it to anyone, and will warn others about this situation,
