This carriage house far surpassed all of my expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice! Close to hiking trails with beautiful views, parks and the delightful city of Port Moody. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend a stay here. We plan to return 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!

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.

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.

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

A Lovely Retreat between the Forest and the Sea
Belcarra is frequently described as a village between the forest and the sea, and this description is well-deserved. Our stay at Brian and Carol's Belcarra rental unit provided a wonderful retreat for us. We stayed from May 7 to May 12, 2023. For our first day at this unit, we arrived late since we drove from the Seattle International Airport to Belcarra. Although late, Brian greeted us and graciously acquainted us with the unit and its amenities to ensure that we were sufficiently acclimated. When selecting this unit, we understood that we were adding driving time to/from our Vancouver excursions; yet, after a busy day of visiting Vancouver or partaking in a whale cruise or a day trip to Victoria, we looked forward to ending the day at this beautiful Belcarra unit. It was peaceful, relaxing and energized us for our next daily adventure. Brian and Carol were thoughtful when determining how to furnish this unit. It is not only comfortable, it is also appealing. The kitchen is well-equipped with quality appliances. And the views from many windows are breathtaking views of the forest. For us, a bonus was the drive to/from our daily excursions because of the beautiful scenes of ocean, mountains and forest. We have stayed in several rental units from Hawaii to France, and in our opinion, this is one of the best. Thank you, Brian and Carol, for your warm welcome and your lovely rental unit. It was easy to call it home during our stay.

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.

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.

The most perfect place to relax!
What an amazing rental! The thoughtful design of this carriage house high in the trees above the Indian Arm in the Village of Belcarra is a joy to experience. The 1 bedroom has a full bath, washer-dryer, well appointed kitchen, a warmly welcoming dining table, comfy sofa, tv, beautiful drop top writing desk, fireplace with reading chairs, and a cute balcony with chairs and small table for morning coffee or tea! We read, slept in, explored the area parks and trails, and drove into Port Moody where the Skytrain took us into downtown Vancouver and the waterfront! More importantly, the hosts are incredibly welcoming and ready to share their love and knowledge of the amazingly unique area in which they make their home!

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!

Best place between the mountains and the sea!
We have visited Vancouver several times over the years and have stayed with many a hosts in the area. We were expecting a quiet retreat and we definitely were not disappointed. It turns out that Belcarra aka təmtəmíxʷtən, can be quite exciting in these neck of the woods as it’s location on Indian Arm is more than ideal for hiking and canoeing / boating. Our hosts Brian and Carol were also the best! Their accommodation was top notch with thoughtful add ons like coffee/tea, milk, cheese and even wine. Not to mention a folder full of information about the area and books about its history. In all it was one of the best stays we’ve had and partly because of how good the location is as well as how good our hosts were. We’d definitely be looking to return!

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.
