Graymor Garden Cottage is fully equipped for either a weekend get-away or several days of vacation time. This charming cedar cottage is located in a lush, West Coast waterfront garden setting only a short stroll away from the Pier Street and Shoppers Row downtown shops and services.

The bedroom has a comfy, queen-size bed and there's a cozy loft with twin beds. Additional sleeping space is available on the double sofa bed in the living room. The full bath has a vintage claw-foot tub with shower and there's lots of closet & cupboard space. The kitchen is fully equipped and linen is supplied. The cottage has central heating and a fireplace (with wood supplied) for a cozy spot on a cool evening.

There's a spacious deck overlooking the gardens and glimpses of Discovery Passage and the gas BBQ and patio set with umbrella are an invitation to outdoor dining with a view.

Guests at the cottage also have access to the ocean side patio in front of the main house and a wooden deck in the lower garden. Both spots are great places to watch the Alaska bound cruise ships plying the Inside Passage from May through October.

Graymor Garden Cottage is a great location for exploration of northern Vancouver Island. Campbell River is located half-way up the Island is wonderfully situated for day trips to Mount Washington to ski in the winter or hike through Paradise Meadows in the summer. The panoramic view from the chairlift is spectacular.

Within easy driving distance you can explore Strathcona and Elk Falls Parks, swim at Miracle Beach and check out numerous woodland walking trails. Whale and bear watching trips depart daily during the summer season and you can even go snorkeling with the salmon. Ocean, lake and river fishing opportunities abound and there are numerous experienced guides available to help you catch the big one.

There are two superb 18 hole golf courses (Storey Creek and Sequoia Springs) and an 18 hole disc golf course just a few minutes drive from the cottage. Visitors of all ages may want to try out the new Indoor Climbing Wall facility just a couple of minutes away. Quadra Island, a 15-minute ferry trip away, offers artists galleries, bicycle touring, and swimming and picnicking at Rebecca Spit.

Closer to home, less than a block away, you can visit the Campbell River Museum, the Maritime Heritage Centre and Discovery Pier. At the Pier you can try your luck fishing for salmon, watch the cruise ships and treat yourself to the biggest & best ice cream cone on the Island. On Sunday mornings from May to October the Pier parking lot transforms into the Pier Street Farmers' Market with fresh produce, seafood, baked goodies and an assortment of local craft items. Fresh salmon, crab, prawns and halibut are usually available from the fishboats moored by the Pier.

Campbell River also offers lots of dining out opportunties with menu choices ranging from casual to fancy. Everything from neighbourhood pubs, seafood specialties to several ethnic offerings.

Short stay or long - you'll be cozy and comfortable at Graymor Garden Cottage in Campbell River.

                    Graymor Garden Cottage is absolutely lovely and the hosts are welcoming and very knowledgeable. This location is perfect if you are considering relocation/retirement in Campbell River. After enjoying our summer holidays at the cottage for the past few years, we spent three months living there with all the comforts of home while we searched for property to purchase. The cottage is extremely cosy and well equipped and the west coast garden with its massive eagle trees is magical. The location is close to downtown amenities and offers spectacular views of Discovery Passage. We would highly recommend the cottage for a long term rental.

                    Recommended for: Pet owners, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.

                    We just returned from a family wedding in Campbell River. I was in need of two nights accomodations and POSSIBLY a meeting spot for more family members depending on everyone's proximity. I had heard that MOST out-of-town guests were booked into B & B's all over the Campbell River area. As it turned out - Graymor Cottage was the FAVORITE gathering spot. Since we tend to be loud when we get together (which is about once a year!) - we appreciated the privacy and not needing to worry about bothering our hosts. Because our trip was centered around a family gathering with limited time I wanted something that would feel like "a home away from home" and I got EXACTLY what I wanted. You KNEW that you wouldn't want for anything. This was exactly like being at home. EVERYTHING you needed was there. This spot has good karma!! Great hosts...great location...great value for the dollar. I look forward to returning when the garden is in full bloom. GREAT PLACE!

                    Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing.

                    While spending 7 months 2008/2009 at Graymor Garden Cottage, I was comfortable, cozy, and felt quite “at home”. It really is fully equipped; all you need is your clothes and your toothbrush. It’s an adorable cottage in a beautiful setting with fabulous views. I enjoyed eagles soaring above, cruise ships gliding by, and the garden evolving from autumn to winter to spring. The location is within easy walking distance to downtown for shopping, sightseeing, and restaurants. The hosts are friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the area. They went out of their way to ensure my comfort and were very welcoming to my pets.

                    It's been said many times in this book already, but I have to say it too....your cottage & hospitality are exceptional. The cottage has everything, including matching bathrobes. We especially enjoyed our nightly fire and the library is an awesome touch!

                  Year Purchased: 1972

                  About the owner: This is a photo of Joan & Wes Stephens, Owners of Graymor Garden Cottage (and that's Jett the Catt in Joan's arms). This photo was taken on the ocean front patio of the Cottage property.

                  Why the Owner Chose Campbell River:
                  The Cottage is located on the property with our home and until the summer of 2004 it was rented to permanent tenants. In June 2004 we renovated and furnished it and began offering it as a Vacation Rental property.

                  The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
                  The Cottage is located close to downtown Campbell River and is surrounded by gardens. The ocean front patio provides an ever-changing view of marine traffic on Discovery Passage - Alaska cruise ships, tugs towing container barges and log booms, yachts, sail boats and lots of large and small fishing boats. We pride ourselves on offering a spotlessly clean, comfortable accommodation with loads of amenities (as detailed on our listing).
