February sunrise over Denman and Hornby Islands. This morning the fog blanketed the islands, so calm along Baynes Sound and on the bay.

Autumn has arrived at the Boathouse. The fog has been rolling around the bay, Denman and Hornby Islands. Sparkling waters on the bay and the salmon are jumping before they spawn in Brooklyn Creek. It's 22 degrees celsius and the leaves are falling. Wishing all our lovely friends and family a very Happy Thanksgiving on Monday, sending our best from the Boathouse.

Our lovely guest from the UK left us yesterday, a bittersweet goodbye, as we know she is on to great adventures ahead, but we will miss her. I cleaned out the birdhouse on the Boathouse yesterday as well, Mama House Wren built a gorgeous nest and had 3 darling babies this year. They kept the Gravenstein Apple tree free of bugs. I marvel at the superb engineering and beauty of their strong, comfy nests. These birds prefer a clean nest box every year so I have the honour of removing the old nest. I know Mama or one of her babies will be back next spring. Gives me hope. With love from Bramble Cottage and the Boathouse, wishing everyone a wondrous Fall.

Recent visitors and now friends Sandra and Tom left us this lovely recommendation.

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse in Comox. A quaint cottage in the Courtenay River Estuary near Goose Spit. Lots of big skies and wildlife on the front deck in a peaceful area of Comox. We would highly recommend the Boathouse with all the comforts. Wendy is a wonderful host."

Very glad you both enjoyed your stay, it was an honour to host you here and we look forward to your next visit! ( So wonderful that the otters and seals really put on a show for you).

Mom and Pop Otter and their three pups arrived on the beach in front of the Boathouse on Monday. So lovely to see them out of the water. Mama seal hangs out with this year's pup and last year's pup on the logs in the bay. She's teaching them to hunt for food.

The Limelight Hydrangea is just starting to show how it got it's name, it's white blooms are blushing a soft lime green.

The fog is rolling in this morning, Canada Geese floating by in the bay and the crickets are chirping. Fall is coming but it's still summer here at the Boathouse. It's going to be 29 degrees today and the swimming is fine!

The Boathouse was built around 1910 and sits at water's edge on inner Goose Spit, Comox BC Canada and was originally used for boat building. We have restored the cottage with family antiques and our guests tell us they love the cozy, romantic and relaxing atmosphere. We've been in business here in Comox since 1997 and have loved every minute of it.

The Boathouse is about 70 feet from our main house, and is situated right at tideline. You have your own private south facing deck with table, chairs, umbrella. Beach towels can be provided. You walk out the gate onto the beach and are welcome to swim, beach comb or use our kayaks to explore the bay, the point at Goose Spit and surrounding areas. Macdonald Wood Park is at the end of our road, Mac Laing Park just beyond and Goose Spit Park is a short walk along the beach or a 1 minute drive from our home.

The cottage includes a Queen size bed with deluxe linens, an ensuite bathroom with shower and linens. There is a fully stocked kitchenette with bar fridge, toaster oven, microwave, hot plate, coffee maker, kettle, blender. Cupboards are well stocked with dishes, cutlery, etc. Lovely dining table seats 4.

Downtown Comox is a 2 minute drive. We have excellent pubs, sushi restaurants, a mall with liquor store, groceries, pharmacy, postal outlet, etc. The Black Fin Pub is famous for their location on the water and fabulous food. The Comox Valley is home to several amazing wineries and breweries as well as excellent distilleries. Tours or visits can be arranged. In the summer the Comox Valley is famous for our farm markets, golf, whale and bear watching and fishing charters. In the spring and fall you can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon. In the winter excellent skiing, boarding and snow shoeing happens on Mount Washington. From the Boathouse to the mountain is about a 25 minute drive.

Please pm me if you have any questions, need to confirm rates, availability dates, etc. We look forward to making your stay in the Boathouse very special.
