Hobos Pond Get Away is located in the relaxing and picturesque community of Errington on Vancouver Island. Only a five minute drive from our charming cottage is the rugged and beautiful Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. And only twenty minutes by car guests can enjoy two of Vancouver Islands most picturesque towns - Parksville and Qualicum Beach. These charming towns have delightful seaside parks and walkways and offer all the modern conveniences for shopping.

Our comfortable Hobos Pond cottage can host five or six guests comfortably. There is a large deck on the front of the cottage looking down into the Englishman River. A short rustic hike from the deck and you will arrive at the rivers edge. From the rivers edge you can enjoy a swim in the fresh, clean pools in the river or hike a riverside trail through wonderful wooded forest. This trail is good for short hikes and picnics but for the hardy hiker you can hike all the way to Top Bridge Provincial park with it new suspension bridge and pot holes. On the way you will hike through a Nature's Trust Park where you will see picnic sites. It might take about one hour to hike all the way to Top Bridge Park.

This comfortable riverside Cottage offers three queen size beds and is suitable to host between five and six guests. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a washer and dryer. The living room has two leather loungers, a chesterfield and a TV where guests can watch Net Flix or Roku movies. The cottage is equipped with high speed internet suitable for guests who want to work while relaxing at Hobos Pond. A large deck with a picnic table, barbecue and loungers looks down into clean, clear pools of water in the Englishman River. A rustic trail leads within minutes to the rivers edge and our guests have the options of swimming and/or hiking the trails along the rivers edge.

This comfortable and charming cottage shares the property with our main house but is situated far enough away to provide guests with privacy.

On the main floor of the cottage is a bedroom screened off from the kitchen and living area. A very sturdy oak staircase leads to the loft with an additional two queen size beds. The main floor has a full bathroom and the loft has a toilet and sink so guests don't need to take the staircase to use the bathroom.

Hobos Pond Get Away is suitable for guests who wish to enjoy a quiet setting to relax and enjoy the fresh country air or for hikers and bikers who wish to explore the river and surrounding parks but still be close to the fresh food markets and seaside towns of Parksville and Qualicum Beach. Everyone is welcome. People who come to explore the island and hike, swim, enjoy yoga or just relax love it here.

Children over the age of 12 who do not need supervisiion are welcome at Hobos Pond.

We welcome smaller dogs who are kept on leash until they become familiar with the property. Then they can run around. Dogs absolutely love it here.

Come and enjoy this beautiful place with us. Welcome Marlene and Harvey
