Beautiful Historic Home on Seven Acres of Trees and Trails

A beautiful historic home with amazing views out of every window. You feel like you are on vacation as soon as you arrive. The house was spotless, and full of the comforts of home. A great place to relax, but only 5 minutes from downtown Courtenay. Can't wait to return.

The house was very cool and was very clean. The kitchen was great and had all the amenities that we required.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that the house had a musty smell and some rooms on the main floor were really bad and we could not sit in them. Some of us have allergies, so we were sneezing, had sore throats and runny noses. We had the windows open the whole time, but the smell was still there. We would not rent the house in the winter, as the windows could not be open. I am not sure where the smell was coming from, as it seemed to be in every room, except the kitchen. Hopefully it isn't black mold.

The upstairs is also not suitable for children under 5 as the windows are very low and there aren't screens. The banister is also very low and could be a hazard for a young child.

So nice to escape to the house for a quiet rest to recharge our batteries - we come back every year and are already looking forward to next summer's visit!

We stayed with our daughter, her husband and their three young children. The house was well equipped, child friendly, and spacious. Clean and well maintained. Thanks for such a great opportunity to experience staying in a heritage home.

This was our first time renting a VRBO. The process was simple. Picking up the key was easy. The staff were great to deal with.

The house was incredible. Being a heritage home it is quite unique. The renovations were tastefully done, yet include modern appliances. Lots of space inside the house, even if there were three couples you could still have some privacy.

I don't know if all VRBO are similar but there were plenty of supplies, dishes, soaps for dishwasher, laundry, etc.

With only one shower it could be a bit of a squeeze getting ready if you're on a timeline, but just plan ahead.

The property is wonderful. There were a few rabbits around and lots of deer. Being in town and you still feel like you're out in the country. The drive to downtown is only a few minutes at most.

I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone. It's as good or better than the pictures allude to.
