Good Times on the Somass River

Beth and I had a terrific time while staying in this small almost river-front house. Don and Linda were friendly, helpful hosts, and I'm sure that I will never again have smoked salmon quite as good as theirs. The property is close enough to town to drive almost any place in minutes yet far enough out to be bordered by river and forest--with the animals you might expect: ravens, bald eagles, deer, black bear, and chinook salmon. The dock, a short walk from the house, is a great place to sit in the evening to relax with a cold drink, watch the fish jump, and occasionally see black bear on the prowl for the salmon. Don and Linda, thanks for helping us enjoy our stay. Beth and I appreciate the useful and interesting information you gave us about hikes in the area, the history and culture of Port Alberni, and the Orca alert when the whales appeared at the Inlet harbor. Give Simba, Bruno, and Daisy a special scratch and some fish for us!

Little oasis of calm

We visited from the UK and had a wonderful stay in Port Alberni. Linda and her husband were friendly and welcoming and the rental was spacious and clean with a well equipped kitchen. We loved the river, the views and the wildlife! We wish we had booked longer. 5 stars ⭐️

A very special family time

The host were wonderful and connected so well with our kids teaching them to fish and learn about the land we were on. The property and entire area is so beautiful and peaceful. Many memorable days at Taylor Arm on Sprout lake, walking in the forests and by the ocean and just hanging out at the cabin and by the river
