Charming Inn - Modern Comfort

Very charming old inn located in historic part of Powell River, fitted out with artifacts from a century ago. But with modern comfort; the best shower we’ve used. Owner and staff very friendly and accommodating. Disappointed that the cafe was not open for breakfast.

A Memorable Stay at The Old Courthouse Inn I recently stayed at The Old Courthouse Inn in Powell River and had a wonderful experience. This unique heritage property offers charm, comfort, and a real sense of history—all in a welcoming atmosphere. Highlights of My Stay: Historic Character: The inn is full of personality, with beautiful architectural details and a warm, nostalgic feel that reflects its roots as a 1939 courthouse. Comfortable Room: The room I stayed in was quiet, clean, and thoughtfully decorated—perfect for a relaxing and restful stay. Delicious Breakfast: Breakfast at Edie Rae’s Café was a real treat—fresh, well-prepared, and served in a charming setting. Genuine Hospitality: I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Belanger, the owner. His warm and friendly approach really made me feel at home and added a personal touch to the visit. Great Location: Situated in the historic Townsite area, it’s an ideal base to explore Powell River’s coastal charm, trails, and local gems like Townsite Brewing. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a stay with character, comfort, and a personal touch, I highly recommend The Old Courthouse Inn. I truly appreciated the care and attention that went into every part of the experience—and I look forward to returning.

Everything was fine except for the checkin. We couldn’t find any staff in the building. Another guest who happened to come out of her room showed us where the key to our room was She called a person who either worked there or was the owner but we never did see this person
