Below are just a few reviews from the many wonderful people who have stayed with us.   

So happy to have made it back to your beautiful tranquil retreat! I’ve been trying for 8 years – since 2017! There are so many small details to appreciate and being here inspires us to dream of a place of our own like it one day. Thanks for all you do, we’ll be back again.

Accolades for a special place, special hosts and more. We had such a relaxing four days in a garden paradise! Trememdous hosts, yummy treats, exceptionally clean and well designed cottage. We have stayed in many places – very few have the ambiance of your lovely retreat. We will be back again.

Wow. What a nice place you have! We really loved the Copper Fern Guesthouse. The moment we stepped inside it felt good. You really thought about everything. But most of all we enjoyed your hospitality and the nice chats we had. Thank you very much for having us and for all your tips.

Your guest house has provided us with the perfect getaway. You have made your cottage absolutely lovely and adorable filled with every amenity anyone might ever need! Your love and thoughtfulness for your guests is everywhere. Your garden is amazing – those yellow raspberries – to die for! We hope to make it one year in the summer. Thank you Chris for the West Coast Garden Guide. Thanks Molly for all your special touches… and the muffin recipe. This is truly a gem!!

This place is wonderful! We have been in many places throughout the world but this is the best equipped B&B I can recall. It has everything! Other than five star hotels, where do you find a package of toothpaste and brush in case your forgot yours? The very homey atmosphere is excellent. There are home-made fig muffins, bread, granola, rhubarb jam and nectar. All so delicious and so well made. And if that isn’t enough to sing high praises there are Molly and Chris who are such thoughtful and kind hosts. Really special. Did I mention the grounds and the garden? What a delight.

Here for our third time. Such a relief to pull into the driveway after coming from Tofino and knowing it will feel like being home! In fact, we’d like to believe it really is our home! Thanks for a lovely place to lay our heads.

Thank you so much for accomodating me last minute. Your place feels so homey. I love all of your special touches. You really have thought of everything.
I really appreciated the breakfast ingredients, all your personal additions, fresh apple juice, mint iced tea. Everything so fresh. I can’t tell you how much that meant.
Your gardens and property are incredible You are so good at what your’re doing. Thanks for helping make this vacation truly fabulous. Even in a heatwave.

We feel so blessed to have spent these past four months here at Copperfern. The space has been a beautiful backdrop for our work and your hospitality such a delight. We’ve left a puzzle here for future guests (or you!) to enjoy.

Thanks for a very enjoyable stay at your guesthouse the best we have been to anywhere. There was nothing we needed that we could not find. An impeccable place! Between Hot Chocolates in Courtenay and the hikes around Paradise Meadows we had a wonderful time.

Wonderful people, beautiful design, incredibly well supplied and organized – Copper Fern is a first-rate guest house. Local provisions were great. I’ll be back; rain or shine, this is a lovely place to be. Surrounded by beauty and quiet, with genuine hospitality offered by Molly and Chris. Don’t forget to smell the roses and enjoy the hummingbirds at the feeder!

Thank you so much Molly and Chris for making our Christmas holidays absolutely fabulous. Copper Fern went well above our expectations of a B&B and your efforts of creating a home away from home were greatly noticed. Thank you for the vegan options, and the jam and muffins were delicious. Your home decor is also very inspiring and beautifully done. The quiet and tranquil atmosphere was much appreciated and a relief from the busy nature of city life. Thank you for sharing your home.

Thank you so much for everything! This B&B is beyond amazing!!! We had the best time staying here – it feels like paradise! Courtenay is such a great town and I definitely know I will be back one day and would love to stay here! Thank you again for your hospitality – we really felt like we were part of the family! I hope to keep in touch and I hope to see you two again soon. We feel so honoured to be your first guests!

Your first guests at the potentially named B&B “The Copper Fern”! It has been a beautiful weekend celebrating Nichole and Jarrett’s wedding together, getting a little taste of Courtenay & Comox, visiting a few of the town’s delights and waking up to a basket of blueberry muffins on our front door step. You both are so warm and welcoming and have created a most memorable experience for myself and my “roomies”!
I cant’ thank you enough and hope to be back for a visit real soon! Next time with my family, so we can all experience the beauty and peacefulness of Courtenay. Warmest regards and best of luck finalizing your B&B. It is already perfect!
