Lovely place, close to everything!

The rental was cute! It had everything you needed to stay for a decent vacation. I mostly was in and out of the city, but the car ride to the train station and beyond was very quick and easy! Brian and Carol were lovely and made sure to check-in and make sure you had everything you needed!

Best Place Between Forest & Sea

This is our second time staying at this charming carriage house in Belcarra next to Indian Arm. Very close to many nature trails and convenience of shops and eateries. Very quiet neighborhood but not too isolated. Will definitely stay here again soon!

Lovely wooded getaway

After the bustle of Vancouver, this was a nice relaxing week in the wilderness, but close enough to town that we could get groceries, go out to dinner, and even get transportation all the way to Whistler. Attentive property owner and a good accommodation, with a full-size kitchen, full bath and laundry machines, which saved us some packing. Right on the water and very close to several good hikes. Lots of fun!

Charming retreat for nature lovers

I needed a place to stay for a week while in the area for work and this carriage house in Belcarra was perfect. It was exceptionally quiet and allowing for a peaceful retreat after work. Brain and Carol were welcoming and ensured the place was clean and well-equipped. Brian offered many suggestions for trail runs and hikes which I took advantage of. I look forward to returning.

Beautiful Retreat on Belcarra Bay

I had a phenomenal stay at Brian & Carol’s carriage house. Perfect work retreat right on Belcarra Bay, directly in walking distance to some amazing walking/hiking trails, and about a 40 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. Do take them up on use of the canoe! Deep Cove is a short paddle away. I’d absolutely look to stay here again if and when I return to this area of BC.

You should stay here!

It was an excellent stay is a scenic neighbourhood. The hosts were welcoming and were ready for us well before the normal check-in time. We enjoyed hiking around the house, with easy enough access to local beaches. We visited Port Moody for shopping and a few meals, but it was a painless drive into Vancouver and even to the ferry terminal. Overall we felt lucky to have found this house and to have met Brian and Carol.

Home away from home

Beautiful location. Superb Unit. Owners thought of every detail a traveler might need in a home away from home and were very communicative, helpful, and willing to provide any information someone new to the area would need. If your intention is to make most or all of your meals while traveling be sure to stop at the grocery before you arrive. It is about 10 minutes away in Port Moody (easy to get to) but having your food ready to go allows you to stay more local and avoid cars if Quiet rural atmosphere is what you were looking for. Not many restaurants close. But good brewery scene and a great authentic mexican one on Clarke St. We were not here long enough to really check out all that you can see and do here We loved the complete silence at night with the windows open and the water is so close. Definitely a place to come back to.

Great stay at an awesome location.

We spent 3 glorious weeks in the Carriage House, which is well appointed and equipped with everything that one would need. The premises were spotless, and Brian and Carol were amazing, and available hosts. The setting is gorgeous. Across the street from a provinvial park, and that's just the start. Lots of great places to hike from there. Quiet. Beautiful setting. Would love to head back again soon. Highly recommend.

Perfect

We spent 3 weeks on honeymoon in this idyllic location, with a short break to Whistler. The location is great for getting the Canadian outdoor experience, as well as the city life, as the transport network is so good to Port Moody and the bus service to Belcarra outside the door is great. There is so much to see and do but not enough time, so will definitely be back. Brian and Carol are the perfect hosts, with nothing too much trouble. Would highly recommend

Elegant accommodations in a beautiful setting

From Minnesota, USA we travelled to Belcarra, BC for a one week stay. The carriage house was elegant, charming, cozy, and immaculately clean! We enjoyed beginning and ending each day at the carriage house. A fully equipped kitchen made it possible for us to enjoy dinner-at-home while taking n the beautiful scenery after hiking and bike riding. Brian and Carol were both engaging and accommodating hosts. If our travels ever bring us back to the Belcarra area we would definitely stay here again!

Magical!

We loved our stay. The Carriage House is simply perfect - so comfortable with all the amenities you'll need. If you love nature, you can't beat the network of breathtaking trails in Belcarra Park which is literally across the street. A public bus runs every half hour so you can hit Port Moody's brewery row, enjoy some delicious beers and food truck ware, and return to this remote location with ease. A simply stunning location, and Brian and Carol were very attentive and generous hosts too. 10 out of 10!

Belcarra Gem

Property is in a small village of well kept homes on a beautiful lake. The owners have supplied the unit with everything that you need for a very relaxing, comfortable experience. Grocery stores, coffee shops, and local transportation are all a short trip away. There are hiking trails galore and so many areas to explore. My wife and I spent a week here and the hosts were great. We would highly recommend this property for couples wanting to get away for a weekend getaway or longer as we did. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we are ever in the country again.
