Wonderful Stay !
We stayed two nights at the BoomBoat suite. It was very clean and comfortable with beautiful and thoughtful attention to detail. The suite is cozy with a nice private outdoor space and a well organized kitchen. Denise and Don were welcoming and kind, respectful of privacy but available if needed. Our pup also enjoyed the stay watching the chipmunks running up the hill outside the window ! Very quiet and private - highly recommend if you are headed to the North Island. Oh ! the gallery is amazing!! worth spending some time there...

Autumn in Telegraph Cove
Autumn in Telegraph Cove is a very chill and quiet time. All the rest of the tourists have headed home, and it's mostly locals and the foolhardy adventurous sort of traveller. Denise and Don's property was cozy and quiet with all the amenities you could as for as self-reliant guest, and afforded me a great base where I could enjoy breakfast and dinner, and prepare lunches for days exploring the north end of the Island.
Denise was super helpful and welcoming, and I'd recommend staying here either as a stormy adventure in the offseason or as a destination vacation in the summer.

Why they chose this property
Our amazing forest like setting, with those whales coming right up to the docks! Telegraph Cove is a special historic must see location. It is the main tourist destination for the beautiful North Vancouver Island. If you want to see orcas, humpbacks and many other wildlife, this is your place to be! Our neighbors are outstanding and put on an amazing show!
What makes this property unique
This property is one-of-a-kind! Immaculate, Hand crafted by the hosts, the woodworking and artistic touches are outstanding! Metal salmon swim off the roof, while bears, whales, seagulls and a lighthouse are found in the shingle siding. Unique artwork featured throughout the interior/exterior, and of course the famed Art Gallery with its cute Boom Boat mascot at the front entrance.
