About Us

🏠 Meet the Owners: 

We're Sabrina and Mario — partners in life, parenting, and hospitality. We're proud to call Cumberland home and are excited to share this legendary little village with you.

Sabrina grew up here in the Comox Valley, while Mario hails from the Kootenays. We met in Victoria, and in 2010 we bought our first home and settled in Cumberland. Since then, we've built a life centred around community, nature, and sharing the magic of this place with others.

While we pour a lot of heart into the Guesthouse, we also keep busy with our day jobs:

• Sabrina is a special education teacher
• Mario is a cabinetmaker and part of the trail crew with the United Riders of Cumberland (UROC)

We both thrive outdoors — riding bikes, wandering the forest, and chasing around our kid. Cumberland is more than a destination to us — it's our community, our playground, and our home. We’re honoured to help you experience it too.

🌿 Community, Sustainability & Local Love

We’re deeply invested in protecting and nurturing our community, and we align our business practices with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We're currently focused on:

• ✅ Reducing our carbon footprint through upgrades like energy-efficient systems
• 🛍️ Supporting local businesses — from guest supplies to partnerships with local makers
• 🌲 Adopting sustainable practices that protect the environment, including support for the Cumberland Community Forest Society

This village is special, and we want to do our part to keep it that way.

🧡 Why We Host

Cumberland is a fantastic place to visit, play, and connect with nature, and we’re thrilled to help others experience it.

We aim to provide every guest with the best possible stay, and we’re always here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions before, during, or after your visit.

We would love to welcome you to our Guesthouse!

Warmly,
Sabrina & Mario
