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!

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!

I am proud to review this splendidly wonderful little B&B they call the Willow Guest House…read more Before I begin the review, I think it is imperative that I preface it with a small but relavent note about myself. I am a well traveled person however, for all intent and purposes, I am very much a city guy. And being so, have a particular disposition regarding the finer things in life; the little but important conveniences of nicer living. So I would comfortably say that I have high expectations when it comes to accommodations and anything I plan to pay for or during a vacation. So having traveled a great deal, I have experienced a wide spectrum of quality in services and accommodations throughout the world. I am extremely pleased to say that I have never experienced any accommodations quite like the one at the Willow Guest House. In short, it truly felt like I was coming home. My biggest apprehension when it comes to B&Bs is the imbalance most B&Bs have between the business and the home. Either it is too business like with the warmth and homely coziness of The Adams Family or too much home and not enough business which leaves for rather awkward interactions and no sense of privacy. The Willow Guest House has this balanced magnificently. Never once did I feel like an intruder or awkward. Warren and Dee (the owners) are the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. The moment my girlfriend and I stepped into their home, it felt like we were family. It was quite remarkable actually. Their rare ability to be unconditionally welcoming and genuine is so refreshing that I found myself wishing our trip was longer than two nights! They are a perfect team and care so much about their B&B that every single detail towards excellence is considered. I would come back and stay at their brilliantly wonderful B&B any chance I can get. In fact I wish every hotel in Whistler would take some notes of what true hospitality and comfort is. This is undeniably the BEST BED AND BREAKFAST I have EVER had the pleasure of visiting. You will not be disappointed when you book with Warren and Dee. They are a true gem.

While travelling on business recently, my husband realized that not so much as a garden shed was available in Courtenay because of a large influx of visitors for the BC Seniors Games. Through the Chamber he found the only room in the whole area and that was only because of a last minute cancellation. The hosts were divine, the room was lovely, the price was right and breakfast was amazing. He had such a nice time. They have two upstairs rooms with a full kitchen and living area for guests... you can cook your own food, hang out and watch TV and then go down to the hosts kitchen for a made to order breakfast.

Our fridge and counter top had already been stocked with tomorrow's breakfast to avoid disturbing us in the AM; fresh fruit, juice, coffee, tea, bagels, bread, spreads, hot and cold cereals, granola. A full bathroom offers a large shower stall and vanity with lots of room. Overall, our setting is similar to that of a cabin in the country with all the conveniences of home. Parking for our SUV was found in front of the steps leading up to our upper deck room and could not have been more convenient. As we get settled in, the sun can be seen setting on the horizon through the woods adjacent to our cottage; the Strait of Georgia can be seen clearly beyond the shore line.
