Private Stays 2021
Spacious and brimming with natural light, all rooms have ocean views and expansive windows that open to let in the sea air. Each unique suite has a large private deck and a luxurious bathroom featuring in-floor radiant heating and island-made natural bath products.
Kick off your shoes and settle in! Your stay includes local breakfasts, naturalist-guided tours, southeast breezes and lingering sunsets.
Inviting, majestic, and architecturally stunning, Lightwater is our flagship guesthouse. Spectacular ocean views, island-crafted beds and old-growth fir trim and flooring-sustainability salvaged from Vancouver Island trestle bridge-brighten all the Lightwater guest rooms.
Conveniently situated near the Great Hall, the Archipelago Room’s large windows and private balcony overlook one of our heritage orchards—and offer a sublime view down the center of the cove to the islands and mountain peaks beyond.
Architecture
Inviting, majestic, and architecturally stunning, Lightwater is our flagship guesthouse. Spectacular ocean views, island-crafted beds and old-growth fir trim and flooring—sustainably salvaged from a Vancouver Island trestle bridge—brighten all the Lightwater guest rooms.
Enjoy a morning coffee by the fire under the curved beams and vaulted ceilings of the Great Hall. Find silence in the circular sanctuary of the Delphi, or sunset on one of two glorious decks. Wherever you stay, you’ll find comfort and delight.
Dining
Your stay includes a bountiful organic breakfast prepared with local ingredients by one of our chefs. Lightwater is also conveniently located next door to The Woodshed, the island’s renowned food stand. The Woodshed features fresh-baked items—scones, muffins, cookies, and more—as well as ready-to-eat salads, pasta, and soups and a unique assortment of imported goods such as fine cheeses and olives.
Sustainability
Stewardship drives everything we do. Our guesthouses and facilities are built by local artisans from sustainably sourced, energy-efficient materials. Lightwater Farm uses organic methods to enrich the soil, and we also serve our community with water management that promotes water security. Throughout our operations, we’re proud to hire local and to feature island-made products.

Our carpenters, stonemasons and landscapers are still working with the land and on the land, so some areas at Lightwater Cover will show signs of ongoing improvement between now and late summer.
