About this property

Cairn - Spectacular Ocean and Olympic Mts Views. Reduced winter rates in effect.

Come enjoy the spectacular ocean and mountain vistas sitting by a roaring fire in the spacious, comfortable, living room after exploring the many beautiful beaches and trails near by or take a walk to the beautiful Gordon’s Beach. Our home, ‘Cairn’, was lovingly constructed by my husband John, who is a builder contractor, using natural materials from our local area and using a considerable amount of repurposed wood and brick.
We are fortunate to live in a quiet, spacious and serene place, surrounded by nine acres and beauty in the form of wildlife, trees, the Pacific Ocean, the Olympic mountains and an endless sky that lights up with countless stars on clear nights.
Cairn is attached to our house but completely separate and private. We are available if needed but we give guests complete privacy. Guests have their own private entry, parking space and deck.
Off seasons rates in effect from October to March.

Beautiful property - great hosts
We came here for a restful stay , for a location that was a home base for visiting family and friends and for amazing ocean views. This beautiful home delivered on all counts and the hosts were wonderful. Thanks John and Janis for accommodating my odd requests for my radio contest - which was a success .It was a pleasure to meet and get to know you ( and Mellow!) and look forward to our next visit.

About the host

Hosted by John and Janis Payne

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Cuba. John was born in Ireland. We have lived in Canada since we were very young. We met, married and raised our children on Saltspring Island and Vancouver Island.
We love to and have travelled extensively as a family and on our own but are always happy to return home.

Why they chose this property

We have 8.5 acres of pasture and treed land with gorgeous views of the ocean and Olympic mountains. There is a path all around the perimeter of our property for easy walking . You might even enjoy watching our neighbours’ llamas!
All four seasons have spectacular beauty to experience! From watching winter storms and kite surfers at Gordon’s Beach while sitting by a roaring fire to enjoying the beautiful scenery, walks and hikes all year long.

What makes this property unique

We chose this property to build our house for its expansive ocean and mountain views and quietude.
We wanted to build a home where we could feel peaceful, relaxed and at one with nature. Sitting by the big fireplace in the spacious 12 ft beamed ceiling living room watching and hearing nature through the large windows accomplishes that and more.
