About this property

Charming Cottage in the Country

Come and enjoy a country getaway at the Broody Rooster Guesthouse and Gallery. The guesthouse is a charming cottage in the popular Cedar/Yellowpoint area just 15 minutes south of Nanaimo. Located on a small farm, the guesthouse is a unique, stylish cottage with all the amenities you need to getaway from it all, yet remain within reach of urban amenities.

As you drive down our long driveway, you will likely be greeted at the fence by the horses. Outside, the cottage has a large front porch with seating where you can enjoy your morning coffee and view the sun coming up over the pasture. Inside, the cottage boasts restored fir flooring and stained/leaded glass windows throughout which let in lots of sunshine. The open concept layout and 14 foot high ceilings provide plenty of space. Gather some fresh vegetables from our garden and use the large kitchen to make your own meals. Watch the ducks swim on the back pond as you do the dishes, or feed the chickens your leftovers out the back gate. There is always lots of activity going on at the farm and you are welcome to watch and enjoy.

The cottage is tastefully decorated and fully equipped with everything you will need on your vacation. There is a queen size bed plus two additional futon type beds (a queen and a twin) to sleep a total of 4 or maybe 5 people (best for families with younger children), All bedding and linens are provided. You can catch up on laundry by using the washer and drier.

While at the cottage, you are in a perfect location to enjoy numerous day trips north and south to popular attractions in Chemainus, Ladysmith, Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Parksville and Qualicum. Or, just stay at the farm and read a book, relax, take a hike at a local park or cook up a meal with ingredients from the garden.

Yellowpoint/ Cedar is a rural area south of Nanaimo where long winding fences, pastures, century farms and markets are abundant. Saturdays there is a local farmers market is about 6 minutes away.

The area is known for its concentration of artisans - check out the Cedar/Yellowpoint Artisans for more information and take a week to visit them all!

Incredible all around
John and Nicole were great, we came up for a swim competition so didn’t get to enjoy the property as much as we would have liked but enjoyed their horses, the beautiful views, the cute cottage that is so homey. John gave us lots of suggestions before our trip on walking trials, sights and good neighbourhood eats. My 8 year old child was with me he enjoyed counting how many roosters or chicken related items we could find in the cabin- got up to 38! They also had monopoly which was a big hit with my kid as well. We will definitely be recommending their place to friends and family.

Pleasant stay
John and Nicole were excellent hosts for our stay at their lovely rustic cottage. Lots of new experiences for our young children - watching the many free range chickens outside, saying hi to the horses, and of course frequent trips into the nearby garden to stock up on vegetables for our meals. The garden fresh eggs they provided were delicious. And the well stocked kitchen made home meals a breeze.

Relaxing
I wanted a place I could combine different generations … my mom 92,my sister and myself (50)+ and my sisters two grandchildren (9-7) . We all enjoyed our time and felt very comfortable in the cottage. I would recommend this hidden gem to any family who want to disconnect and get back to basics , conversations, reading . Family time .

Relaxing and cozy guest house.
This was our second stay at this property and we plan to return again next summer! John and Nicole are welcoming hosts who happily share their lovely country farm property and guest house with those who stay with them. Lots of birds, bunnies and chickens to keep you company while you relax on the beautiful porch. Horses, deer and very friendly dogs add to the special charm of this home-away-from-home property. Lovely stained glass windows and Nicole’s many lovely paintings add to the inside charm and decor of the guest house. We were delighted to be invited to help ourselves to the offerings of the large vegetable garden and to find a dozen farm-fresh eggs waiting for us in the fridge.
