Here, you’ll find a cozy retreat that perfectly balances comfort with adventure, making it an ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture of the island.

Outdoor Lovers prime location offers easy access to both the East and West coasts of Vancouver Island. Just a scenic two-hour drive will take you to the renowned surfing beaches of Ucluelet and Tofino, where you can soak up the sun or catch some waves. For a unique experience, hop aboard the MV Frances Barkley for a picturesque cruise to the quaint village of Bamfield, or enjoy a leisurely drive up the Inlet to discover its hidden gems. To the south, historic Highway 4 beckons with attractions like Milner Gardens, Rathtrevor Beach, and the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre, all within an hour’s drive.

At Outdoor Lovers Bed & Breakfast, adventure awaits right at your doorstep!

I had a lovely stay here for 2 days. I hadn't booked but Bill and Millie were so welcoming. Very.pretty and clean house, and Bill makes (randomly) the best granola. They were also very helpful directing my to the Stamp River walk, which I must say is nicer than Cathedral Grove.

Peaceful and comfortable 1 night stay with easy parking and wonderful hosts! The small details such as the soft bedding and pillows, quality shower products and homemade soaps, made it feel specially welcoming! We would gladly return!

I stayed here with my bonspiel team over the weekend and we were treated to fantastic breakfasts, conversation and even a quick ride down to the rink when needed! We loved Bill and Millie's place and would happily stay again when we come to defend our title. Homemade soaps were a real bonus as well! Comfy bed and some really great views. Don't stay anywhere else!

A Five-Star Haven for Nature Seekers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
​Outdoor Lovers Bed & Breakfast is hands-down one of the best stays I’ve ever had. If you are looking for the perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and easy access to the great outdoors, look no further.
​What Makes It Special:
​The Location: You couldn’t ask for a better basecamp. It’s perfectly situated near the best trails and scenic spots, making it so easy to get out and explore first thing in the morning.
​The Atmosphere: The house is cozy, impeccably clean, and designed with a true appreciation for nature. It felt like a home away from home the moment I walked through the door.
​The Food: Breakfast was a total highlight! Fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care—it was exactly the fuel I needed for a long day of hiking.
​The Hosts: They are incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their "insider" tips on which trails to hit (and which to avoid) made my trip so much better.
​Bottom Line: Whether you’re an avid hiker or just someone who wants to drink coffee while looking at a beautiful view, this is the place to be. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my next visit.
​Don't hesitate—just book it!

I recently stayed with Milly and Bill at their lovely. I absolutely enjoyed my stay. Lots of great history of the B&B that I so enjoyed hearing. They cooked some great meals that I enjoyed very much. They are a great hospitable couple. There were two other couples from Germany during my stay and we all had a great time around the dinner table. I will certainly stay there again. Thankyou Milly and Bill for a great stay.

We'd love to hear from you
