About this property
Spectacular views, near beaches
Come enjoy the spectacular ocean and mountain vistas sitting on the sun deck or in the spacious, comfortable, living room after exploring the many beautiful beaches and trails near by. Our home was lovingly constructed by my husband John, who is a custom home builder and designer, using natural materials from our local area and a considerable amount of repurposed wood and brick.
We are fortunate to live in a quiet, spacious and serene place, surrounded by nine acres and beauty in the form of wildlife, trees, the Pacific Ocean, the Olympic mountains and an endless sky that lights up with countless stars on clear nights.
Cairn, where you will stay, is attached to our house but completely separate and private. We are available if needed but we give guests complete privacy. Guests have their own private entry, parking space and deck.
Off seasons rates in effect from October to March.

About the host
Hosted by John and Janis Payne
I was born and raised in Cuba. John was born in Ireland. We have lived in Canada since we were very young. We met, married and raised our children on Saltspring Island and Vancouver Island.
We love to and have travelled extensively as a family and on our own but are always happy to return home.

Why they chose this property
We have 8.5 acres of pasture and treed land with gorgeous views of the ocean and Olympic mountains. There is a path all around the perimeter of our property for easy walking . You might even enjoy watching our neighbours’ llamas!
All four seasons have spectacular beauty to experience! From watching winter storms and kite surfers at Gordon’s Beach while sitting by a roaring fire to enjoying the beautiful scenery, walks and hikes all year long.

What makes this property unique
We chose this property to build our house for its expansive ocean and mountain views and quietude.
We wanted to build a home where we could feel peaceful, relaxed and at one with nature. Sitting by the big fireplace in the spacious 12 ft beamed ceiling living room watching and hearing nature through the large windows accomplishes that and more.
