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.

Good to know
We're a 5.0-rated Superhost stay on a real working farm — Virginia and Pete live on the property and are happy to share what's happening on the farm during your visit. This is a peaceful, rural setting; a car is the easiest way to explore the island.
