This is an excellent B&B for the off-season visitor. It's a very quiet location (small, one-street…read moretown, well off the highway). The room we rented for the evening is has a private access, two large beds, and a fully-equipped kitchen. We used the shared bathroom, but since we were the only ones there, it didn't matter. The website describes accommodations for up to six guests (adult oriented) -- there are several rooms other than the one in which we stayed, but they didn't have the great kitchen. Wireless Internet access is included with your room. Breakfast is great; be sure to ask about the history of Coal Harbour at breakfast. Fishing is big in the area; the owners of the Old Skipper B&B offer charter fishing service, as well. Visit their website for more details.

We were a fixture at Coho Joe every time we visited "downtown" Sointula from our campsite on Bere…read morePoint. It became our base of operations: meeting point, resting place, free wi-fi provider, waiting room for the ferry. Totally great service, with very kind individuals running the show. Good espresso and nice food: meals and snacks. Well-priced. Clean bathroom, nice range of patio seats with nice views, inside tables, comfy chairs, and picnic table on the deck suitable for families. Also happens to have a nice guest B&B room above! Crazy, just checked out their Facebook page /cohojoe. What an awesome place to have so close to the ferry terminal on Malcolm Island.

We landed at Hidden Cove for the last two nights of our whirlwind Canada vacation. After having…read morestayed two nites in Campbell River in a cramped cabin, then driving to Telegraph Cove and staying two nites there, moving into two different cabins two consecutive nites, parking our tired butts in the little cabin at Hidden Cove was a huge relief. This place is literally in the middle of nowhere....if Nowhere is heaven. Surrounded by forest and berry bushes and bordered on one side by the bay, this lodge was a great getaway relaxation spot. Sigh. If only we'd been allowed to relax there more! We got up at 5 one morning and fished all day and the next day got up early for our trip to see the grizzlies. Luckily, hubby and I had the foresight to buy some wine at Telegraph Cove general store, so each evening, our greatest pleasure was sipping wine on the porch of the cabin as the sun went down (around 9 o'clock). One evening we'd come home after dinner and our neighbors in the next cabin commented how there'd been mama black bear and her cub wandering just outside our cabin. We missed it unfortunately, but Nature is up close and personal here. We did see a black bear walking across the road on our drive in. You are warned when you check in not to leave any food (or fish guts) in your vehicle. In the foggy morning, my sis heard a humpback blowing out in the bay. And in the evening it was so relaxing to hear the sea birds settle on the water for the nite (altho the gnats have no sense of personal space unfortunately and will buzz around your eyes and mouth). The cabin itself was simple and quaint. Two bedrooms, one bath and a futon couch slept 5 of us very comfortably. There's a full kitchen that we only used to nuke breakfast burritos and make hot chocolate and there's a fireplace that we didn't get a chance to fire either. Some books and games are provided as well. I can't speak for the breakfast in the lodge proper as it was not provided for us cross-eyed cabin dwellers, I guess cause you have a kitchen (we could have paid to eat there, but a burrito was cheaper). On our last nite there, hubby and I watched the sun set spectacularly over the bay and I almost shed a tear to leave this place. We swore we'd come back someday, just the two of us, with a much more lazy schedule. Perhaps some fishing....maybe some kayaking....but definitely a lot more communing with nature and each other.

You will see wild flowers and deer in the yard. The king size bed is comfortable and the heated bathroom floor are nice on cold mornings. Rolf and his helpers, Lena and Leonard are very friendly and accommodating.

Solid B&B with great views and just on edge of town. Great for staying before or after an excursion.read more
