We tell great stories. We can explain how Creston got its wacky time zone. We can tell you about the steamship that became a tractor (sort of), the first airplane to land in Creston, and the teacher who refused to be fired. Speaking of "great" stories, there's "The Great Railway Race" and the "Great Creston Bank Robbery." And have you heard the one about the imaginary student in Grade Thirteen? Really, we're not making this up. Why would we? Truth is so much better than fiction. We can even help you tell the greatest story of all: your own. So come on in. After all, there's no time like the present to discover the past.

Our passion for the outdoors, quality dining, and community connection is what drives us to make your stay relaxing and memorable. We strive to make our guests day action-packed on the waters of North Vancouver Island, and the evenings a relaxing environment to unwind and disconnect.

A small horseshoe shaped bay. Off-grid and off the beaten path. It is a different life here and we would like to share it with you. We have three rental cottages on Airbnb. Boaters mooring at the government dock are welcome to stroll the grounds, garden, trails, and meet the world renowned wharfinger. There are showers, laundry, ceramic art and a spectacular veggie garden. Mark has been wharfinger for 25 years now and is really beginning to get the hang of it. Come see.
