  Our place in Errington, BC, nestled on 5 acres of serene forest land, is a tranquil retreat just a stone's throw away from the stunning beauty of Parksville on Vancouver Island .During the summer, we operate a charming traditional B&B, and in the off-season, we also love to wander off at times. Lately, hosting Workawayers has brought even more vibrancy to our lives. We appreciate the fresh perspectives and energy that people bring into our home.
