About this property
Beautiful South-Facing House with Large Deck, Comfy Rooms, Lake & Mountain Views
Warm, open, and bright with stunning views of Mount Benson and Long Lake, this beautiful home is peaceful, clean, and comfortable.
Grouse House has 4 spacious bedrooms, two of which are occupied by me (the owner) as a bedroom and office. The other 2 bedrooms are available to people needing a comfy and fully-equipped place to stay in Nanaimo.
I will be away Sept 29-Oct 21 and Oct 23-Nov 13. So the entire place will be privately yours during that time, with the exception of 2 nights when I'll briefly be home to unpack and repack.
The house is beautifully situated on a cliffside with an expansive deck that makes you feel like you're floating in the tree canopy. Evenings on the deck around the fire bowl are the perfect way to end the late summer days, and once the cold sets in this fall you'll enjoy the warmth and ambiance of the remote-controlled propane fireplace. You can program the fireplace to make the house nice and warm when you wake up, too.
The house is well equipped and very comfortable with laundry, dishwasher, ample parking, wifi, gorgeous gardens, and tons of natural light from sunrise to sunset.
Numerous wildlife also visit - birds, squirrels, deer - and you can watch hummingbirds bathe in the water fountain in the front garden.
Most amenities are within a couple kms, including grocery stores, clinics, hardware stores, coffee shops, restaurants, etc., as are numerous green spaces to enjoy.
Everything you need to have a great stay is right here!

About the host
Hosted by Michelle

I'm a professional mariner, so I'm away for weeks or months at a time when I go to sea for work. There's no point in this beautiful space I've created sitting empty. I love sharing it with people visiting Nanaimo, and providing them with a clean, comfy place to stay.
Why they chose this property
I love the interesting features of this unique cliffside neighbourhood, and especially the views and abundant natural light provided by its south-facing aspect.
What makes this property unique
The entire space feels like a retreat. Abundant in fresh colour, natural light, and earthy materials, and nestled into a cliffside with incredible views in a peaceful neighbourhood, this is a gorgeously built home in a unique setting.
