Calm retreat

Fantastic place! Loved cooking in the well equipped and spacious kitchen. The bath with jetted tub and spa shower was delightful. Good spot to explore beaches and hiking from. Hosts were lovely and very responsive. Kids loved getting to play outside and meet the dogs (puppy!). We could've stayed far longer and would love to return some time.

Best holiday ever.

Booking was very easy and the location of the property was easy to find. The instructions sent to me prior to arrival made checking in a breeze. Once inside the Owners instructions regarding TV, wifi were simple and only took about 30 minutes to have everything figured out. Fantastic stay.

This place is as nice as it's listing shows it. Perfect setting, beautiful accommodations.

Loved the Barn for my wife and my two week stay. Owners were great hosts, everything one needs was carefully provided. This location is ideal for exploring the Comox/Courtenay, Mount Washington and Campbell River regions.

Mid-island get-away

Beautifully situated, designed and equipped, the Barn at Rennie exceeded all our expectations. From this relaxing oasis we enjoyed beach walks, forest trails and excursions into Courtenay/Comox and Campbell River. Next time we may do something similar, or perhaps take more food and just stay away from all urban areas for a different sort of experience!

Wonderful Stay at Rennie's Barn

We really enjoyed our stay! The property is beautiful: it has everything - a quiet setting, comfortable furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, fabulous soaker tub ... and it's a good location for exploring the parks, beaches, craft breweries in the Comox Valley. We'll be back!

Family Ski trip

We loved our stay at the Barn and we will definitely book again. Everything from check in to check out was easy and the hosts provided a warm welcome. The house offered everything and more than what you would need. It was in proximity to Mt. Washington and other areas we visited. On our last day we even got snowed in during the a snow storm and Ed was more than accommodating to help us get out to the main road. What a lovely place. C.

Fantastic stay at The Barn!

I would highly recommend staying here. Trina was very responsive and helpful. The barn is tastefully decorated and very spacious and has everything you could need in a stay. The shower and jetted tub were amazing. The barn is located in a quiet rural setting so is very peaceful. We stayed in the fall and there were many local farms offering great produce and the beach is only a short drive away.

A great place to stay near Courtenay

A lovely, tastefully decorated place with lots of thoughtful details. We stayed here 4 nights in mid-December and did some great summit hikes up Mt Becher and Crest Mtn. The residence is super clean, kitchen stocked with pantry basics with ice in the fridge. It was a pleasure to return to such a comfortable and cozy place every day! Check-in was seamless and communication with owners was great. Would absolutely recommend and will stay here again. - B&Y.

Loved it!

The Barn is a lovely uniquely designed property that exceeded our expectations. It’s nestled in an off the beaten path bucolic farmland setting. But still a short drive to other areas in the Comox Valley for easy exploring. We’ll be back!

The Barn on Vancouver Island

This was an absolute haven for us to celebrate our 18th anniversary! Secluded enough from all the hustle and bustler, but close enough to amenities. The furniture was cozy, the propane stove add to the coziness, the bathroom was just a great set up for jacuzzi tub within the shower, my husband was impressed! I enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen with plenty of room for 2 people to more around in. It was close to mountain biking trails in Cumberland. There was a great beach camping area on the shore close by at Kitty Coleman which provided a wonderful evening walk to see the sunset and seals swimming by. The owners and their pup, Odin, were friendly although we didn't need much while there. We will definitely be back and hope to stay here again in the near future!
