Bears from the Boardwalk - Adventurous black bears like to play across the bay from the harbour side boardwalk, which provides a perfect vantage point for human admirers to catch the bears in action.

Mars Water Bombers - These mighty bombers were built originally for long range missions and patrol for the US Navy.
The Log Train Trail - The 25 kilometre historic trail epitomizes the “work and play” nature of today’s Alberni Valley forests.
The Whaling Sculpture - First Nation Tribes have created these beautiful scuplutres that can't be duplicated.

Guest Reviews

We found a "second" home

We had a flood in the kitchen and needless to say we were very upset over the idea of having to leave our home for an indefinite period of time. We really would not have made it to today without your hospitality. The suite is bright and comfortable and has all the amenities. I have been able to cook meals, do laundry and work at home on my computer. We have been able to go to work each day without any worries.
