Earthen home in Mayne Island

Cob Cottage

Channel the pursuit of pause in this one-of-a-kind earth house. The cozy retreat was hand-sculpted using local and sustainable natural materials, and features a central living space with cantilevered slab stairs leading to the loft bedroom. Guests have access to the entire cottage and surrounding property. We live in the neighbouring house, and are happy to give advice or answer questions to help you make the most of your stay. The neighborhood is quite rural and mostly agricultural with several farms and a small private vineyard. The home is a 10 minute walk from the beach and a 20 minute walk from a family grocery and deli specializing in local organic produce. Mayne Island has a small community bus. Times and routes are limited, particularly in the winter. It will stop at the driveway. We also have an official hitch hiking system with signed Car Stops where you can wait for a ride. Usually you don't have to wait long. We are happy to offer pickup and drop off at the ferry dock as a courtesy to encourage car-free travellers, on days when the community bus is not running. Please let us know ahead of time that you'll be coming without your own transportation, and we will make sure that either we or the community bus (which will drop you off at our driveway) are there to meet you when your ferry arrives. The BC Ferries terminals near Victoria and Vancouver are easily reachable via public transit from their respective airports and downtowns.

“Oceanfront Delight”- Sunset Beach Oceanfront Home

VeronikaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The best location on the island and a very supportive host. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We loved walking down to water right from the property and discover tide pools. We saw 5-12 eagles every day, seals and even a river otter. It was easy to get to places on the island like shops and restaurants, even though we used kitchen for many of our meals, it had everything we needed. Park allowed us to bring our own roll up mat for an extra guest and provided extra pillows and chairs.

We stayed at Jessie’s place for a romantic 1-night getaway. The neighbourhood itself is peaceful with views of the ocean. We had a very restful sleep — bed is super cozy and comfy! The space is charming with lots of thoughtful touches (we loved the cathedral windows in the bedroom with views of the night sky). Overall a lovely stay and relaxing place for a getaway!

OceanView Lodge - Sunroom Suite

GeoffRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was probably the best Airbnb experience I have had. It felt private and secluded and the view from the small patio was just what I needed for coffee in the morning. I would, and likely will stay here again in the future. Although I didn't use it, there is also a small hotplate along with cooking items if you want to make some small meals. Thanks for sharing your place!

A charming home features a distinctive triangular roof and large windows. It is surrounded by tall trees and a natural landscape. A wooden fence encloses the property, providing privacy while blending with the outdoor environment.
