Lovely owner and quaint cottage. We would stay there again.
Christina and Miss Bigs Bunny are great hosts....very historic comfy cottage home. Clean and convenient to all things Chemainus. We would definitely stay here again.
Loved the character of this place and the host was friendly and very accommodating with my early departure. The bed was very comfortable and the AC was a relief! I will absolutely stay here again. The garden was gorgeous and added ambiance to the stay.
Amazing host and located very close to water front. Very friendly service… great stay

charming bed and breakfast in Chemainus.
The place was wonderfully charming,befitting the town itself ,Chemainus, and our contact with her was pleasant and very enjoyable,
We would recommend this place highly to anyone.
Lovely spot, very comfortable and Christina, the host, was very accommodating and gave lots of information about local events and facilities.
Even better if there had been a bit more choice of food items for breakfast.
It is a true Gem!
Christina, our host was very welcoming.
The room is charming. The house as well as the garden
is unique and well maintained.
I would return any time and recommend it to friends and family
Wonderful stay. Clean, cozy & comfy bed. A Lovely jem steps from the water for watching the sun set & an easy short walk to restaurants & town. Miss Bugs Bunny was a sweetie🐶
We loved this place so very much! I’m planning to come back with my kid. The house is gorgeous , every single detail (decoration, colours, backyard) is delightful. Christina is kind, helpful, and makes you feel at home. I ’ll give this place 10 starts if I could.
Thank you Christina!
