Pepper Muffin Country Inn

Established in 1998, the Pepper Muffin has been an icon on Jingle Pot Road in Nanaimo for more than 12 years.  

This 4 star property offers rural ambience steps from city convenience.  Centrally located all city amenities are a 5 - 15 minute drive.  Our rural escape provides guests with the opportunity of city sights and sounds and country charm.

This custom built bed and breakfast has been featured in such publications as Frommer's Travel Guide and Frommer's website online; the publication, the Best Places to Kiss in the Pacific Northwest, and Reise Know-How Kanada West - a German guide book to travel in BC.  The Pepper Muffin also has the priviledge of being rated as a top accommodator by TripAdvisor; compliments of guests who have experienced the inn. We were awarded the Trip Advisor 2010 and 2011 "Certificate of Excellence".

Known for its relaxing rural ambience this inn has served clients from worlds away and next door alike.  Many a guest has enjoyed its private yet hospitable atmosphere. The inn has three self contained suites which include private ensuite, lcd tv, phone, wireless internet, quality beds and linens and professionally designed decor. Our guest rooms are furnished with either one queen or king bed or a set of extra long twin beds.

Our outdoor environment is exceptional.  We offer private patios, greenspace and a guest only outdoor hot tub located under a gazebo and grape arbor.  This patio in summer is a shaded and quiet space to sit back, read a book or just soak up tranquility. In winter the hot tub is serene ~ the crisp air and star lit skies that surround abound. The Millstone River borders our property ~ birds, wildlife and fauna are abundant and frequently visit the property.

The second key word in Bed and Breakfast is "breakfast" and at the Pepper Muffin our complimentary breakfast is a tradition ~ a tradition worth savoring.

Having worked for a luxury hotel, Jolynn has an appreciation of what customer's want from the hospitality industry.  Her hope is that the Pepper Muffin provides a guest experience that is both professional and personal ~ surpassing expectation.
