Creekbanks Cottage - a nature-lover's retreat

Situated on 9.6 acres of lawns, forest, meadows, and trails, Creekbanks Cottage is only 10 minutes from Courtenay, yet offers guests privacy, peace, tranquility, and a chance to re-connect with nature. A salmon-bearing stream meanders through the property, and bird, animal, and plant life abound. Eagles, ravens, and blue herons regularly surveil the property from the heights of the ancient Douglas Fir tree that graces the vista from the cottage and the lawns. Your closest neighbours are horses; other regular visitors include free range chickens, ducks, geese, wild rabbits, deer, racoon, mink, and, of course, various types of salmon during their respective spawning seasons. The property has grapes and blackberries, as well as apple, pear, walnut, and hazelnut trees. Guests are welcome to pick anything that's in season.

Built in 1936, with a sunporch added in the 1970's, the cottage has been updated to offer comfort, character, and the charm of an earlier era of family farm living. The one-and-one-half story house has central heating, and (for those who enjoy the look-and-feel of old-fashioned radiant heat) a built-in gas fireplace in the living room and a free-standing gas fireplace in the kitchen/dining area. The main floor has nine-foot ceilings, a completely renovated bathroom and one bedroom with a queen bed. The sloping ceilings of the upper half-story offer charm and character, although headroom is reduced in places for anyone over six-foot-one-inches in height. There are two bedrooms upstairs, both with double beds, and one with an ensuite half-bathroom (toilet and sink). Light floods into the cottage from all directions, and every window offers an unobstructed private view of the property.

Your hosts, Ted and Hitu, live in a second house on the property located on the other side of the stream. The two houses are separated by forest and meadow; each has its own driveway.

Additional Amenities:
*The cottage is thoroughly and professionally cleaned between guests (please help us to keep the portion of this cost charged to guests as low as possible by cleaning up any of your own spills or messes).
*The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, dishwasher, gas range, toaster, toaster oven, pots & pans, baking pans & sheets, dishes, cutlery, etc.
*We supply bed linens & towels, wireless high-speed internet, Shaw TV, Radio & CD player.
*Laundry facilities are available onsite. These are shared with our brother John who lives with his cat, Shadow, in a private suite of rooms located in the basement and accessed by a separate entrance.
*The Comox Valley with its distinct villages, towns, and settlements is surrounded by beaches, farms, parks, forests, lakes, rivers, and mountains. The valley offers a great range of things to do and explore: arts, culture, and heritage; shopping, dining, farm, and culinary tours; fishing, marine adventures, and wildlife tours; golf, hiking, cycling, and mountain biking. The Mount Washington Alpine Resort is nearby and open year-round. For more information visit The Comox Valley’s Tourism Vancouver Island website at: https://experiencecomoxvalley.ca/

Notes:
*Sewage from the cottage is treated in a Septic Tank system that is carefully maintained to ensure against contamination of ground water seeping into the salmon-bearing stream. Do not flush anything other than bodily waste and toilet paper. Everything else should go in the bin provided.
*Ted’s family has lived on this property for almost three-quarters of a century and restoring and enhancing the cottage and grounds is both a labour of love and a work-in-progress. Creekbanks is an old house with “strong bones” and a good heart. While her plumbing has been upgraded, she does require the assistance of a few pumps to boost her circulation. Please don’t be alarmed if you occasionally hear some soft pump-related burps and gurgles.
*Our brother John (resident in the basement) doesn't drive; however, you might see an occasional car using the driveway to pick him up or drop him off. On sunny days, John sometimes likes to sit and read in the shade of the spreading Maple tree beside the carport. Otherwise, apart from the area around our house on the other side of the creek, you have the property to yourself. Feel free to explore it in its entirety. During the warmer weather, the flow of the creek is usually gentle; younger children, however, should always be supervised when near the water.
*We hope you enjoy your stay with us. Please let us know if anything is missing or deficient, or if you have any suggestions for improvement. If you are interested in considering a longer duration stay in the future, ask us about our significant discounts for one, two, or three or more week stays.

Perfect home away from home
A great place to go with little kids. They loved feeding the horses next door apples and watching the chickens run around. The creek was very peaceful. Lots to explore in the area. Everything went great with check in. We very much appreciated the early check in and late check out. Hope to come back sometime!

Wonderful family getaway
We absolutely loved this property for our family getaway. We were travelling with 4 adults and two young kids and everyone loved it. The house had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The grounds were amazing and the kids loved being able to run around, pick blackberries, and feed apples to the neighbouring horses! Ted was wonderful to communicate with and the check in/check out process was easy. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Property
We had such a wonderful week at the Creekside Cottage. The grounds and property are so beautiful and my kids loved feeding the horses, playing in the creek and running around the big fields. The house is spacious and spotless but still has a rustic and charming feel. The owner is very helpful and responsive and John in the basement suite was very nice to the kiddos and even gave them a few of collecter hot wheels to take home. 10/10 would stay again!

Cottage Fun
We spent a week at the cottage with our rambunctious 4 year old grandson. He had a great time, feeding the horses next door, watching the chicken and roosters, and deer in the evening. Picking apples and blackberries and playing soccer in the beautiful yard. He checked out the stream for fish. The home was well equipped and very comfortable! Courtney town only seven minute drive away and great beaches to visit. Hosts are wonderful and accommodating. A great stay!

Lovely creek side place
The property exceeds the impression you get from the on line pics. Which in our experience is very unusual. The owner was very flexible and let us have a couple of extra people in tents in the beautiful yard for one night. He was also flexible about checking in and out times. He greeted us there and gave us a very thorough familiarization of his place.

Farm house
Some personal things came up so we were only able to stay at the house one day. House is great if you’re looking stay somewhere that feels like you’re in a older rustic cabin in the woods or farm house. Outside grounds of the property is beautiful with its own spring fed river that runs through the back of the property. Location is great if you want to be able to get to Cumberland or Courtney quickly. Owner was very nice and friendly.

Perfect retreat for our family and friends
The photos do not do this property justice. We stayed at Creekbanks for a week and it was wonderful. The cottage is surrounded by lots of trees and greenery, offering privacy and quiet enjoyment. Ted, the host, was fantastic to deal with and the check-in/out process was very easy. The house and grounds are nothing short of stunning. We had our morning coffee by the stream, lunches on the lawn, and played board games in the house at night. Nearby, you can explore many hiking trails and even check out the mountains in Strathcona Provincial Park (Mount Washington is about 35 minutes by car). It truly is the ideal vacation spot to connect with your loved ones and spend quality time with them. Would love to go back some day! :)

A short visit
Stay in Creekbank cottage for three days. Beautiful setting and host is great. Strolled the yard, waded in the creek and tasted the cherries. The neighbors horses were in the mood for a visit and enjoyed our carrots and apples. The cottage is spotless and feels very much like home. Kitchen is supplied will all things required. Would highly recommend this cottage. Hope to stay again soon.

Nature Lovers Retreat
Over 9 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, we had the pleasure of seeing deer, horses and the farm cat - I'm thankful to have NOT seen any bears! The house was perfect for our needs, with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms, a large kitchen and livingroom - enough room for everyone (6 adults). Ted is a gracious host, we arrived very late after missing a few ferries from the mainland, but he met us to go over everything and welcome us to his beautiful heritage estate. The kitchen is equipped with spices, condiments, coffee, tea etc - we felt right at home. I'd definitely recommend this nature Lovers Retreat, it's close enough to town, yet you feel like you're in your own secluded forest - trails and a creek right outside the door. Thank you for your hospitality, Ted. Robin & Family
