About this property

Bigfoot's Rest near downtown Courtenay

2 BR bright and brand new suite nestled in a 100-year-old character home. At the edge of the Old Orchard neighbourhood near downtown Courtenay, this property previously belonged to famed Bigfoot researcher, John Bindernagel.

Whether you are leading your own Sasquatch search, enjoying the area’s abundant recreation, or seeking a spacious home-base for work travel, you will find this suite well equipped with covered storage, bike wash station, propane fire-pit, high-speed WiFi, and full-sized washer/dryer.

This two-bedroom retreat radiates warmth and brightness, basking in ample natural light that illuminates its spacious interiors. Our guests enjoy the suite’s calm, quiet and coziness all while being centrally located.

This is a modern home in a heritage setting. You will find stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, a full sized washer/dryer, high quality furniture and plenty of storage space. From soaps to mattresses, we use premium Canadian products, focusing on comfort for an instant “at-home” feeling.

Stroll through the neighbourhood under the cover of heirloom trees and catch glimpses of nearby mountain peaks. Make this your home-base for a typical West Coast day, heading inland for biking, hiking or skiing - or out to the ocean at one of Comox Valley’s beautiful beaches.

The property is a 10 minute walk from all the essentials in downtown Courtenay and a 5 minute walk to the Puntledge River Park. Cumberland trails are a 10 minute drive away and Mt. Washington is only 30-minutes away.

Despite being conveniently located near downtown, our proximity to nature means that you will likely encounter neighbourhood critters during your stay. Don’t be surprised if you hear eagles in the morning or see deer and rabbits passing through the yard.

We live upstairs and have sensitive allergies, so please no smoking or vaping on site. If you are travelling with pets, we encourage you to explore other local listings that are more appropriate for fur-babies.

Niece’s wedding weekend

The most clean and green-friendly vrbo we have ever rented. Perfectly decorated and stocked!! The only reason I didn’t give it a perfect 5 star on everything was the door code lock was a little tricky for us but that can be fixed easily!

Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, yet close to amenities, Bigfoot's Rest was bright, clean and modern. The host uses locally sourced and environmentally friendly products. We had no issues with the check-in process. Communication with the host was handled quickly and efficiently. We'd definitely book it again if we're in Courtenay.

Beautiful, quiet, centrally located

We loved the suite, it had everything we needed as a family including toys for our little guy. We loved that we could walk into Courtney, it was about a 15 minute walk to downtown. We also loved Puntledge Park which was a five minute walk. The park had a playground, trails and a safe swimming hole on the river for the whole family.

Great Stay in Courtenay

The suite worked really well for a weekend of skiing at Mt Washington. The unit was very clean and cozy, and had everything that was needed to make for a comfortable stay. Check-in and communications were prompt and seamless, and everything worked as expected. Location is also great - less than 30 minutes to the mountain, and only minutes away to shops and restaurants. Looking forward to staying here again.

Well equipped, just missing a bread knife. Also, we arrived in the dark and it took us a while to find the extra step to unlock the door. One last suggestion: the lock on the storage shed was tricky. We had a very relaxing stay. Thanks!

Great location, Clean and Modern

Easy walk to Courtenay shops and restaurants. The suite is fresh, clean, modern and well appointed. We appreciated the extra details. Such as, night lights throughout the suite, compost recycle bins, laundry amenities. Also the environmental friendly options like shampoo, conditioner, soap and laundry detergent. Private parking in the back and available secure storage for our mountain bikes was a plus. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This suite will be our first choice for our next visit.

All you could want

Really nice property. Very well equipped and lots of space. Spotlessly clean. Having the owners living overhead was not a big deal as the entrance is at the back of the house. There are chairs available for sitting outside. Conveniently located close to town. Good communication with host apart from last minute entry code. Overall really good value. Would recommend for couples or small family.
