Corkscrew Inn

Vancouver


This flower-framed, gable-roofed property appears to have a drinking problem: it houses a little museum, available only to guests, that's lined with corkscrews and antique vineyard tools. Aside from the boozy paraphernalia, this immaculate century-old arts-and-crafts-style home has five wood-floored rooms (we like the art-deco room) and is a short walk from the beach. Sumptuous breakfast (with house-baked bread) included.

A three-night minimum stay typically applies, but the owners can be flexible about this if there's availability (especially outside summer). There is one parking spot as well as free on-street parking.
