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.

Quadra Island, a 15-minute ferry trip away, offers artists galleries, bicycle touring, and swimming and picnicking at Rebecca Spit.

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.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1972
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 of 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).

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.

Two English "ladies" came in from next door; To savour the special delights of Graymor; A wonderful place to "chill out" and read; To give energy and refreshment - and all that we need....to continue our journey to Alaska. Far too much to see and do in 2 days - hope to be back someday. A fascinating house in beautiful surroundings.
