We love staying at Country Blue! It's so peaceful and quiet. Faye & Don are so welcoming it's like meeting up with friends except they give us our privacy. I would definitely stay here again.

You are friendly, respectful guests and are welcome always!
Host helped us in many ways; suggesting restaurants, grocery stores and areas to explore. Directions and all information were great. Suite was perfect; options included a wide variety of books, games and movies. Made our vacation perfect.

Thank you so much! I loved how you made the most of your time here, actively exploring the outdoors.
I travel for work. If you want an adorable well equipped unit with an outside seating area to enjoy the forest then this place is for you. Very kind owners as well.
The guest suite is set in a tranquil place surrounded by magnificent spruce, pine and hemlock trees and a beautiful garden. It is a perfect place to stay. It is beautifully furnished, very clean, functional, equipped with everything you need, warm and most comfortable. Faye and Don were the most welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts. Thank you both for a very memorable stay. We wish to come again to experience the restful stay, hike in the nearby forest trails and explore the enchanting nature reserves, easily accessible a short drive. We also enjoyed the picturesque Qualicum Beach with its sunny beaches as well as good food from Quality Foods store and several great places to eat out.

Thank you for your generous and kind comments! Our visit with you was unforgettable. So glad you had a wonderful time in Canada. You are always welcome here and we would love to meet again. 😊
The suite was very inviting with a large open living room/dining room/kitchen area. The bedroom was wonderful with large windows looking onto a private yard and patio that we could access. There was an apple tree in the yard with ripe apples we could pick. There were so many little details that made it special. Don and Faye were wonderful hosts and were sensitive to our privacy. In spite of that, we were able to get a couple of quick visits in and make a great connection. Faye surprises her guests with homemade banana loaf which was amazing. We will be sure to book again when we are back in Qualicum and recommend it highly!

We loved that you enjoyed your quiet times on the patio and appreciate your positive comments! Thank you. Visit again!
The unit was clean and felt new and comfortable, although the pull out bed could use more comfort. Anything that you might need was supplied, like a back up toothpaste, bandaid, kids beach toys, umbrellas etc. A welcome banana bread was delicious and a nice surprise. There were deck chairs in the yard and an outside table with chairs. There were board games, books, TV and darts. The bar fridge was a bit of a challenge to fit everything in to, but that was a minor issue. That was even a small fan to cool the room at night which I appreciated. We also met Don (host) who was very pleasant and offered to let us know when a group of quail usually show up so that our granddaughter could see them. This was a very private, quiet and relaxing spot about 8-10 min from town.

Thank you so much for your positive comments. Much appreciated! The pull out couch could be more comfortable, as you say. We will work on that. 😊
I’m glad you enjoyed your stay in the country.
Faye and Don
A hidden gem off of the beaten path. The suite was absolutely spotless, amenities were all that we needed and the bed/pillows were so comfortable (a very nice end to travel days). The hosts were top notch and very very good at communicating, we will definitely be staying at this property again.

A delightful charming country location close to the amenities of Qualicum Beach. We were impressed with the comfortable bed, family room with TV, library and the personal touches of coffee and yummy banana bread.
We have already recommended Country Blue to several friends and will return in a heartbeat.
