The island itself is a great place for a family adventure: lots of beaches, trails to explore, and gravel roads for biking.

We stayed here back in mid October for a last minute weekend trip. Can't believe no one booked this…read morespace up and it was available! I could tell the owner of the home actually cared about it and her neighbours because she asked questions about the guests that would be staying to make sure we weren't a bunch of teenagers looking to throw a rager. She also asked questions about our dogs and we were so lucky she agreed to let them stay for a small extra cleaning fee which is 100% reasonable and understandable. Upon arriving, the garage was upstairs and Kristine was super welcoming and warm when she greeted us and showed us around. She also went above and beyond by having a few treats waiting for us and staying for an extra bit of time to answer so many of our questions as we'd never been to the island before. Super helpful and even if she was in a rush to get to her family for Thanksgiving, she didn't rush us or make it seem like she was eager to get away. We couldn't believe the view when we got to the main floor. Seriously, it was beautiful even with the rainy weather we got. The kitchen also had enough in it to make it functional - pots, pans, plates, bowls, cutlery, salt, pepper, etc. Very thoughtful for guests so you don't have to buy cheap, crappy sets for one time use. Over all, it was an amazing stay. We got to meet Karin on our way out and she was just as pleasant as Kristine. Such a nice, friendly crew for a beautiful home. There wasn't a thing we could ask for improvements on during our stay. Thank you Karin and Kristine!

Pros: A cozy & comfortable B&B in a convenient location. You can walk to the Broadway-City Hall…read moretrain station in about 6-7 minutes, and you can catch a bus at a station on Cambie Street. It was also fun exploring stores located along Main Street and all the outdoor equipment shops along Broadway. Con: Some amenities were subpar. I stayed in Room E and had quite a spotty Wi-fi reception. I also hope they upgrade their hair dryer. I asked for one and the staff gave me one, but the dryer was very weak and it took a long time to dry my hair.

This was my first bed and breakfast experience so I was not sure what to expect. I loved having a…read moreprivate entrance with a private bathroom, kitchen sink, and microwave. The room was clean. The air was a bit stuffy but there was a fan to help. The breakfast was pleasant with options such as omelets and french toast. Our stay was very brief but it could have been interesting mingling with other international guests. I think the experience would have been better if we had stayed longer. The location was great with lots to do. The house itself was very quaint. The owners were very accommodating.

I've stayed here multiple times with my family and have nothing but good things to say!…read more The location is superb. A nice sandy beach, a couple minutes walk to the provincial park, 10 minute drive to the local store for groceries. Every night we'd sit outside and watch the sun set. Fantastic! The house has been done up very nicely for a guesthouse. Gorgeous hardwood floors and counter tops. Beachwood has been incorporated into the design. Nice, comfy furniture. It's a very cool island getaway. We only briefly saw our hosts when they came over to pick up a cheque and drop off an extra set of keys for us. They live on the other side of the island so we had the whole place to ourself!! All in all, one of the better places i've stayed on Denman Island (and in the Comox Valley). I'd highly recommend checking it out! Mitchell

Such an amazing and unique experience. I stayed in the Eryn sphere for one night with my boyfriend…read morewhile we were making our way from Victoria to Tofino. The sphere was so cozy and comfortable, and the engineering and design behind the sphere is just incredibly intelligent and such a marvel. The owners/hosts also do such a great job of making your stay 100% comfortable. They prepared a big snack basket for us inside our sphere filled with baked goods, granola bars, and fruit, and another small plate of fruit and cheesecake and a small bottle of champagne. They also prepared the most delicious yogurt parfait for us to eat for breakfast the next morning. Lying in the sphere in the forest is just the most amazing and tranquil experience. Our sphere had a wireless bluetooth speaker which we used to play relaxing music in the evening and in the morning. The acoustics in the sphere are fantastic. I loved waking up in the sphere and just staring outside the window in the morning, looking at the tree branches surrounding us with some soft jazz music playing in the background. For anyone who is worried, the bathroom facilities are also super clean and modern and comfortable. They are just a short walk away and there are headlamps provided in case you need to walk there at night. I honestly can't recommend this experience enough! It was definitely pricey ($330 for one night, and our sphere was the cheapest available), but I am really glad we did it and am looking forward to returning again in the future!

The room was huge with a window-type AC and a King size bed. I am glad there's no carpet in the whole suite and bathroom was spacious and very nice. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Parking fee is $9 per night. The location of this hotel is a winner. It's in the downtown and by the waterfront and close to ferry terminal. This hotel is highly recommended.
