We had an amazing stay in Jen and Mike’s beautiful house. The property is exactly as described….. perfect. It is ideally located and Jen was very easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend and we would all love to return.

The house was lovely and well appointed, and despite a few hiccups (like broken kitchen items and no coffee supplied) we had a great stay! There are a few negatives about the place though. Unfortunately sound travels everywhere in the house, the bedroom windows look into the neighbours back patio/hot tub, and the exterior doors in the 2 second floor bedrooms don’t have curtains/blinds either, so it’s not quite as secluded or quiet as it seems in the listing. The listing didn’t seem to include information that the house is undergoing renovations, so the skylights are covered up, and the stairs are a little wobbly. The furniture in the living room too seems tired (one of the couches has really loose legs and it wobbles whenever you sit down). But having said all that, we did enjoy the house; cooked/barbecued several meals there; easily walked to and from Tofino “downtown” or to our favourite coffee spot, Tofitian, within about 20minutes; and the brewery is just across the highway!! And it’s an easy drive to any of the beaches.

Great house, great location. Walking distance to local beaches and town, if you like running/walking, or easy car ride. Lots of window in home make you feel like you are in the forest, hot tub is wonderful! Spiral staircases can be challenging, we needed to use the outside stairs for our dog who was scared of the spiral staircase!

The property is beautiful, tucked away in the trees close to the brewery and a short drive to town. The hot tub and outdoor shower were great after a day at the beach. The stairs are a little gnarly but were fine once the kids got used to them. Kitchen was well stocked...we’d highly recommend!

Our family of three adults two kids and a dog really loves staying at elder house for a week. When we arrived everything was spotless and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed as we spent many of our meals at home. Kids absolutely love the fire pit and hot tub. Relatively close access to the beaches, including McKenzie beach, which is great for the little ones. Also very close to town for when we need to pop in for supplies. Overall fantastic day thank you very much!

This house is incredible. Far exceeded our expectations, would highly recommend.

We had the most perfect stay at the Alder House on our trip to Torino in early January. It had absolutely everything we needed and was clean and beautiful! If you want to feel like you are tucked away in a cozy cabin in the forest this house is what you are looking for. Jen and Mike have included instructions on how to use everything and were readily available via text whenever we had a question. If you are travelling with other couples it is also ideal because it has three beautiful bedrooms all equally comfortable and nice. I have nothing negative to report our stay. Stay here you will not regret it! Vanessa Vancouver, BC

We booked Alder House for the long weekend in November and it was perfect for our group. The location is right across from the brewery and a short drive into town. Our favourite part of the house was the hot tub, which was nestled out in the rainforest! Jen & Mike were excellent hosts and responded quickly when we had some questions about our stay. We would happily stay here again on our next trip up!
