Chill Out in Cumberland at Riding Fool Accommodation

Simple, relaxed, and community-focused, Riding Fool Accommodation is a cozy hostel-style stay in the heart of Cumberland. Just 12 miles from the Comox Ferry Terminal and Comox Valley Airport, it’s a great hub for travelers heading to concerts in nearby towns or local venues. With a shared kitchen, sun terrace, and mountain views from select rooms, it’s a laid-back, nature-adjacent spot that appeals to budget-savvy music fans and outdoorsy types alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate how quiet and peaceful the area is—perfect for crashing after a big night. While it’s not right next to major venues, it's an easy drive or taxi trip to shows in Courtenay or Comox. The flexible 4:00 PM check-in means you can arrive in time for an evening gig, and the 11:00 AM check-out gives you a little breathing room the next morning. With spacious common areas and a social vibe, it’s easy to link up with fellow music fans.

Nightlife Options

The hostel is close to several laid-back pubs and bars that occasionally feature live music—ideal if you want to keep the night going after the main event. While there’s no on-site bar, the communal vibe and downtown location make it easy to explore Cumberland’s small-town nightlife.
