The space
THE SURROUNDINGS

Nestled on the forest’s edge at the back of a 2-acre property in the Nymph Falls Nature Park area, you’ll have plenty of space for sprawling out and enjoying the fresh forest air in privacy. Host’s main house is on the property with enough distance and natural separation to give guests/hosts privacy, as houses are not visible from each other’s view. Get ready to take in clear night skies full of brilliant constellations from the extra large front porch, upper deck or private, covered hot tub at back.

The former Forbidden Plateau ski resort, is just 15 minutes up the road which is popular both in summer for mountain biking/hiking and winter alike for all your outdoor winter activities. Cumberland is 15 minutes away by car with an extensive mountain bike trail system for all skill levels and Comox Lake for fishing/boating and swimming. You could also just head out from our property to enjoy the beautiful trail system at Nymph falls park and some of the popular swimming holes on the Puntledge river. Mount Washington ski resort is only 25 minutes away and downtown Courtenay is 15 minutes by car.
