About this property

While the rest of Canada is frozen, it's truffle season here

  • While the rest of Canada is frozen, it's truffle season here.
    The Truffle Hut is your private winter escape on a working truffle farm in Parksville, Vancouver Island. Wake up to misty mornings over the orchard, join a truffle hunt in season, taste what the farm is harvesting — then spend your evening by the fire pit under the stars or fireside inside. Mid-winter highs hover around 7°C. No shoveling required.
    The space
    A beautifully converted barn for up to 4 guests, with a gourmet kitchen, spa-like bathroom, premium linens, dedicated workspace, fast WiFi, washer/dryer, free parking, and your own private entrance. Upstairs, a rooftop dining deck with mountain views. Central heating and a cozy fireplace keep you warm all winter.
    Winter at the farm
    • Truffle hunting and tastings during truffle season
    • Farm breakfast package — homemade sourdough, fresh farm eggs, homemade jelly and butter, fresh fruit and juice, and truffle oil ($65, one day's notice)
    • Fire pit with lounge chairs and firewood provided
    • Skiing and snowshoeing at Mount Washington, about an hour away
    • Quiet winter beaches, birding, holiday markets, and Milner Gardens holiday lights nearby
    Good to know

unique experience on farm near golf

We booked a short golf vacation and headquarted it from the very comfy Truffle Hut with short walk to Morningstar Golf Course. We had all kinds of helpful communication from Virginia leading up to the trip including a Stay and Play arrangement with Morningstar which turned out to be our fav course in the area. The accomodation appears as brand new and is modern and extremely comfortable although the loft is only for the agile :) It has an amazing deck with pasture and mountain views. Lots of life on the farm and extremely private and peaceful. We are very grateful for a one of a kind stay in a beautiful area!

We loved our stay at the Truffle Hut. The suite was thoughtfully designed and made the stay for our family of 4 quite comfortable, with a cozy kid’s loft and a sofa bed in addition to the main bedroom. Virginia and Pete were wonderful gracious hosts, making us feel welcome while ensuring that we had plenty of privacy. The location was great for setting off for a day trip on the north end of the island but also had nice options for local outings. I would emphatically recommend saying yes! to a breakfast offer of fresh sourdough bread, farm fresh eggs, local jam and truffle butter. We also enjoyed spending time chilling on the large walkout patio, taking in the scenic view of fields, forests and distant hills. A fantastic setting for a relaxing morning coffee, barbecue, sunset or star gazing. We would definitely come back here on a return trip to Vancouver Island.

We had a wonderful stay at the Truffle Hut! Virginia was absolutely lovely and so welcoming. The space was clean, organized and very comfortable. Our two kids (5 and 8) had a great time exploring the farm and even found a frog in the creek. The view from the deck was so stunning and we had a few meals out there just to soak it all up. We learned about the history of the truffle farm and felt so at home there. If we come back to Parksville we will definitely try to stay here again.

Had a lovely time at this clean, comfortable and well appointed suite. Roomy, completely private and quiet. We enjoyed the deck and view of the fields. Loved the farm setting. A short drive into the center of town and beaches. Loved cooking on the BBQ.
