Experience the elegant charm of the 1930's style Capes Family home nestled on seven acres located just minutes from downtown Courtenay. Make the Capes Escape—your escape, as you relax and enjoy the comforts of home or explore everything the Comox Valley has to offer.

A heritage tourism experience with modern comfort. This newly renovated heritage home has three sunlit bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and spacious living room, dining room and sunroom.

The 1700 sq. ft. Capes Escape, named after Katherine Capes (1913-2001), a founder and patron of the Courtenay and District Museum, makes a perfect stay for those who want a value-added rest amid tall firs, pines, cedars and Capes family gardens. How Was Capes Escape Created? First and foremost, there's Katherine Capes, a founding member of the Courtenay and District Historical Society--one of the first female archaeologists in Canada and an avid preservationist of both cultural and natural heritage.

In 1997, Katherine donated the Capes family home to the Courtenay and District Historical Society for the purpose of "preserving the historical value of the homestead for the community" and to "further the objects and purposes of the Courtenay and District Historical Society."

Your visit supports the Capes Escape and Courtenay Museum Programs. Fees for your stay at the Capes Escape go directly to improving this important site and to ongoing Courtenay and District Museum programs. We invite you to explore the history of the Comox Valley by participating in fossil field trips and programs the museum has to offer.

  • Our family had such an enjoyable stay at Capes Escapes. The house was newly renovated, yet still maintained it's charm. It's a large home, with plenty of room, lots of privacy, yet still close to town. We really appreciated the high speed internet, laundry, outdoor trails to walk through at night, and the super comfy beds were a big hit as well. We hope to be back soon. Thank-you!

  • Thanks for the wonderful stay we had in this luxurious period property. We loved the attention to detail and it's "home" feel. It actually is a lot like our own house in Holland. It's a real gem, placed in a wonderful tranquil garden and yet close to everything. What a treat.
