About this property

Escape to the Country

Ready to escape the hustle and bustle of the city? The Cottage on the Farm provides the perfect getaway. This newly renovated shabby chic cottage features a walk out patio with a comfy conversation set and fire table. Your nearest neighbours are of the four-legged variety and will probably drop by for a quick visit. Caution! Millie, the black angus heifer, considers herself to be quite the hairstylist—she specializes in cowlicks. In addition to cows, the farm also is home to sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, a couple of horses and a donkey. And, of course, we have a bunch of dogs. And, please, the cottage is a dog free zone so don’t let them convince you it isn’t!

Inside the cottage, you’ll be able kick back and relax by enjoying your favorite streaming services on the smart tv or play a board game or do a jigsaw puzzle. The heat pump affords a comfortable climate, automatically heating or cooling as the temperature dictates. You can whip up a meal or snack in the efficient kitchen fitted out with a Breville microwave/air fryer/toaster oven, induction hot plate, and electric grill as well as dishes, glasses, pots and pans. You’ll find some farm eggs in the fridge as a welcome gift.

Centrally located on Vancouver Island, the cottage is only 8.3km from the airport, 17.7km from the Duke Point ferry terminal, and 25 km from the Departure Bay ferry terminal. There are several parks near by, including the Yellowpoint Ecological Reserve only 1.4km away, Blue Heron Park 3.5km, Robert’s Memorial Park 6km, and Elliot’s Beach Park 14.4km. The Nanaimo River also offers several accessible fresh water swimming areas for your summertime fun.

Other nearby amenities include the McNabb’s corn maze open in the fall, Yellowpoint Farms Petting Farm and Farm Store, the Cranberry Farm Store, and the Chuckwagon Gas & Go corner store just down the way. There is a farmer’s market in Duncan every Saturday and one in Cedar by Woodbank School summer Sundays.

The cottage is a stand alone, private cottage overlooking a field. It is on a working farm, complete with a variety of animals, farmer, barns and main house on site.

Peaceful farm stay

The lovely farm setting and quiet area resulted in a relaxing and enjoyable stay at this property. The cozy and quaint cottage was nicely decorated in a farm and farm animal theme. The air conditioning was very much appreciated, as was the well-equipped patio area. Our hostesses were easy to communicate with and we enjoyed the bounty of fresh eggs, goat’s milk they left for us and cherries they allowed us to pick from their trees. We would live to return to this property!

Go relax with cows!!

This place is amazing. The friendliness of all the animals on the farm, the dogs 😍, the hospitality, the thoughtfulness, all made this the perfect birthday getaway. Enjoying my morning tea while giving face scratches to a cow...there is nothing more awesome! I will definitely be back.
