About this cottage rental

This quaint, rustic cottage is located in the community of Cedar, just south of Nanaimo, on an accessible, yet secluded acreage.

It is walking distance to the beach and boat launch and amazing trails, yet less than 15 minutes from downtown Nanaimo, as well as both ferry terminals and the airport.

The quiet yard is surrounded by beautiful old maple, walnut, and fruit trees and overlooks the horse pasture and pond. It is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful morning cup of coffee or an evening sunset.

An attached games room includes ping-pong, air hockey and foosball tables, as well as a dart board, for all to enjoy and entertain a family. Kids big and small, young or old will love it.

The cottage boasts a cozy master bedroom on the main floor, situated off the main living area, and next to the bathroom. Upstairs is split in the middle with two additional attic-style bedrooms.

A double futon is available in the living room, as well as a single sized roll out cot, both with with supplied linens for additional guests. Also provided is a Graco pack and play, playpen for your little one.

This 100+ year old original farmhouse has been freshly renovated, keeping its original rustic charm. We love it and think you will too!

$50 cleaning fee for couple ($25/guest thereafter)

Extremely charming property with fun amenities. We loved the game room and well kept kitchen, and the surrounding area is beautiful. One of the beds was somewhat uncomfortably rickety and the attic rooms were were rather warm in the summer heat, but everything else about the place was above and beyond. We had great interactions with the managers and all of their animals. Without doubt, we'd stay again! Absolutely worth the price point.

This was a fantastic getaway to end summer! Close enough, yet far enough away from the bustle of Nanaimo. The cottage was tastefully decorated, had everything we needed and the games room provided endless entertainment....as did the resident horse!

Went for an annual trip and we were pleasantly surprised by the Froggy Knoll Cottage! Fully stocked kitchen, games room, large bathroom and good sleeping areas for all of us. Close to Cable Bay Trail but definitely a drive to the beach. Place was very clean and private. Upstairs got warm but there were fans and you can open windows for extra airflow. Overall a great place to stay!

We are a large family of 8, with kids between 6-12, and this property was close to the beach, amenities, and hikes. We all very comfortable fit in the extra cute cottage and it had everything we needed and more. The games room is incredible!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The games room was a hit as a family. We enjoyed the chalkboard with ideas of what to do and where to go. It would have been nice to have a little more info on the suggestions. The only issue for us was the beds. The online listing is not accurate for the amount of beds. We are a tall family and the pull out couch was small. And the two beds in the one room are better for smaller children. I'd say it sleeps 5-6.

This historic cottage is charming, spacious and functional. The Cable Bay Trail out to Joan Park along the coast is an absolute must walk. We had four days of rain and still enjoyed ourselves greatly, thanks to the games room.

This property is an absolute dream. Everything was perfect about our stay. Well stocked kitchen to cook in, comfortable furniture and beds, great linens and such a beautiful property. We stayed 8 guests in total comfortably and had one of the best weekends I can remember. Took a walk down to the water and watched sea lions swim by against the beautiful views. The hosts were extremely gracious as well. Our whole group of friends is excited for another chance to come back and visit. It is exactly what we wanted and cozier than anything you could ask for. Highly recommend.

We had a very pleasant stay. The hosts set us up very well and made the place feel just perfect for a Christmas / New Years visit. The front porch provided much needed space, and the kitchen met all our needs. The games room was a highlight, though chilly at this time of year to spend much time in. Perhaps adding a couple of heaters would help. The laundry facilities were helpful and very appreciated. I was caught off guard a bit by the steep stairs to the 2nd floor. I found it challenging, though that's where the kids slept so I was okay. One thing that would help would be multi-plug outlet extenders, as in this old property, we struggled sometimes to find a place to plug our devices in (minor problem). The advertisement said "minutes from the beach", For some reason, I thought that meant walking distance - that was a slight disappointment for me. However, the Cable Bay 2KM trail was a huge highlight and could be commented on in your advertisement. Thanks for everything! We truly had a wonderful stay and our kids are still talking about "the cottage" now that we are back home.

Really beautiful cottage that’s perfect for families or groups. Kitchen is really well stocked, loads of games to keep everyone entertained and a full games room and bbq as well. As some other reviews have mentioned the stairs are a little steep (but absolutely fine as long as you’re prepared for that). Amazing hosts who decorated the house for Christmas - we were all really sad to leave!

My friends and I loved the cottage! Our expectations were absolutely exceeded. When we arrived we all felt as if we were the French country side. The space was so clean and had everything we could possibly need from games and movies to all the kitchen appliances. The property was lush and we loved getting greeting by friendly animals when we arrived. Lacy was very sweet and easy to communicate with. We all agreed we would love to stay there again!

BBQ was awesome, enjoyed the old vibe and the scenic suggestions listed on the chalk board. Games room was a hit but my daughter got stung Wasps came in thru the floor boards (open to outside) Main bedroom: needs a better frame or maybe remove box spring?? Bed was way to squeaky, hubby moved to the couch in order to get sleep. The bed would be fine for 1 person though.

The games room was fun for everyone, the house was very quaint and unique inside. We loved the cozy feel of this character home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need from appliances, spices, condiments and a grill. The stairs are steep so be careful but very cute upstairs and comfortable beds. Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home.

We loved our stay at the cottage, everyone enjoyed the games room. We found the heat in the upstairs room a bit hard to handle at times. The property is idea for people who want some peace and quiet. There is no public transport close by so you definitely need your own vehicle.

Quiet setting on beautiful country property Close drive to anywhere. Stairs are very steep which adds to the unique 100 year old home, great stairs for the young. Everything you need was supplied and well stocked. Would have liked curtins on the windows but only to help block the sun early in the mornings. Very clean and the game room was a bounce. Would be back with a younger group...stairs are a challenge for older knees. Hosts made sure everything you might need was supplied! Thank you for the wonderful stay.

We had a great stay at this property, sufficient beds for everyone. The house was very clean and the kitchen was extremely well stocked, especially loved the black stone grill. Things got a bit warm in the upstairs bedrooms where the air conditioning did not reach. Only improvement would be to add screens to the upstairs windows so opening them doesn’t let all the mosquitoes in!

This cottage is in a quiet country location that is close to some of the hikes south of Nanaimo. The property had everything our family needed for our 3 day stay. The kids spent a lot of time in the game room. One caution: upstairs bedrooms have very steep stairs to access them. We really liked the location and the property.
