Central Vancouver Island Home Base

Combine Nature and Comfort

The Mount Washington Village is the heart and soul of the Mount Washington experience, and its available year round! An expansive array of over 600 apartment style condos, A-frame cabins and chalets can be found in the quaint villages of the Mountain, all nestled among the quiet coastal scenery. Enjoy an short, intimate escape or a multi-day family reunion; staying on Mount Washington offers a unique and special experience that’s quite different from the busy winter ski season. A stone’s throw from the ocean, your true alpine to surf destination is right here waiting for you to become a part of it!

Quiet Days: When the summer sun is high or the autumn leaves are falling, the mountain is peaceful—just the way we nature likes it. Fewer visitors are around, so it’s the perfect time for a truly relaxing getaway.

Close to Nature: Your chalet is like the best spot for all sorts of adventures. You’re right next to trails where you can wander through Paradise Meadows, zoom through forests on bikes, or explore the vast wilderness of Strathcona Provincial Park.

Amazing Views: The landscape changes with the seasons! In summer, it’s all bright flowers, and in fall, the leaves turn into a patchwork of colors. The views from your chalet or condo are breathtaking, with a constant connection to the wild.

Tranquil Escape: Mount Washington’s elevated location provides a serene and peaceful environment, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The fresh mountain air, stunning views, and lack of crowds make it a perfect retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Convenience to Outdoor Activities: Staying on the mountain places you right at the heart of a range of outdoor activities. Whether you’re into hiking, mountain biking, or simply enjoying scenic walks, you’re close to the action without having to commute. Some accommodation is closer to the Mount Washington Alpine Resort’s main Lodge, meaning visitors can stay-sleep and ski-in/ski-out or bike or walk-in and out. Depending upon what your preference is, accommodation listings will make it clear their location on the mountain.

Breathtaking Views: The mountain offers some of the best panoramic views on Vancouver Island. From the comfort of your patio, deck or hot tub, you can enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over the rugged landscape, including vistas of the Beaufort Mountain range.

Comfort and Luxury – Value for Your Dollar: While spring and summer often see hotel rates sky-rocket, those are the slower months for Mount Washington. And, many of the accommodations offer high-quality amenities including cozy fireplaces, modern kitchens, hot tubs, BBQ’s, saunas, stunning decks and comfortable living spaces. Staying here allows you to experience the luxury of a well-appointed home and a fraction of the prices in other Island communities, with the added benefit of stunning natural surroundings.

Unique Natural Environment: The alpine environment of Mount Washington is distinct from other areas on Vancouver Island. In summer, you can explore alpine meadows, lush forests, and glacial lakes, providing a unique backdrop for your stay. The changing landscape and diverse ecosystems make it a special place to experience nature up close.

Central Island Homebase: The communities of Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Campbell River, Quadra Island are all roughly 30 minute drive away. Parksville/Qualicum and Coombs are under an hour away, Nanaimo is 1.5 hours.
