About this property

Paradise on Your Doorstep--Gateway to Mid-Island Attractions

You will find The Eagle's Nest in Bowser, B.C. nestled among majestic fir and cedar trees.  This fully equipped, two bedroom cottage offers a peaceful retreat from city life.  The  vaulted  ceilings, hardwood flooring and wood stove provide comfort and reflect the natural surroundings of the area.  The basement of the cottage allows you to conveniently store your supplies indoors and also serves as a play area for children on rainy days.

Enjoy a panoramic ocean view of Denman, Hornby and Chrome Islands from the deck or bring your beach shoes and spend your days strolling and exploring the natural rocky beach.  There is a large sandy play area for the children and evening fires can be enjoyed in the two fire pits. Wildlife abounds here, so visits from deer and sightings of eagles are to be anticipated.

Eagle's Nest is the perfect place to use as a home base to explore this section of Vancouver Island.  A half hour drive will take you to Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Coombs, Horne Lake Caves, Courtenay and other attractions.  Numerous walking trails are found everywhere.  Golfers can enjoy the many first class golf courses in the area and Mt. Washington, which is an hour away, offers skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking and hiking trails.  For an all day outing, Long Beach is an amazing destination.  If boating is your passion, there is easy access to a boat launch in Deep Bay.  

Within walking distance of the cottage, you can find a variety of shops (grocery, liquor, coffee shop, hardware etc.) to replenish your supplies. Many Artisans live in the area, providing visitors with unique shopping opportunities.  Also, the world renowned spas at the Kingfisher Inn and Tigh Na Mara are short drives away and definitely worth visiting.  

Eagle's Nest is an easy and worthwhile destination.  Whether it's R&R you're looking for or a more active holiday, the privacy and peacefulness provided by this cottage will restore you.

Comfortable home in a perfect location
From start to finish this was a very positive experience. The owners are amazing and do everything to make their renters feel at home. The home has a beautiful view of the beach and is a short drive from many amenities including groceries and restaurants. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!
