About this property

Whalebone Cove Cabin with ocean dock


NO CLEANING FEE!

Like new cabin situated on 2.3 acres at the head of Whalebone Cove in the beautiful Copper Bluff area of Quadra Island. The cabin sits on a mossy bluff above our home, overlooking Discovery Passage and the mountains beyond Campbell River. Looking westward it's hard to find a nicer sunset on Quadra Island. If the large front windows don't get you close enough, then just sit out on the deck and enjoy the show. The property has 240 feet of waterfront and a private dock. Tie up your boat, launch your kayak or just bring your fishing rod and enjoy the day. Our dock is equipped with power and fresh water. Take in the ever changing variety of marine life on the water including whales, dolphins, otters, seals and birds. Every day there is an interesting array of marine traffic including cruise ships from May to September.
You will love the surrounding moss covered bluffs and steep cliffs that make this area unique. We are close to some of the best hiking and biking trails on Quadra and a 15 minute drive to the Village Bay Lakes.
We are comfortably separated from Quadra's busier areas and still close enough to slip in for a beer at the pub or to shop for your next meal with a quick 12 minute drive to Heriot Bay.
Whalebone Cove Cabin is ideal for a most peaceful getaway. It has everything you need and then some. A fully stocked kitchen including the basic spices, coffee & tea, a very comfortable queen sized bed, a walk in shower, handmade natural soap, and a washer and dryer. We also provide a barbeque on the deck in case you have the urge to grill. And just to make sure you stay connected with the world, we have not forgotten a large screen TV and included the internet.
We are a 4 season cabin. You can enjoy the great outdoors during the warmer months or cozy up by the fireplace during the cooler months. Quadra Island is a great place to be at any time of the year.
Please note that we have an outdoor security camera on the property that monitors the driveway to the cabin.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Lovely cabin in a beautiful quiet location with an amazing view. Everything you'd need if staying for several days. Laurie was quick to respond to inquiries. Will definitely recommend this cozy, comfortable cabin. It's an excellent base for exploring Quadra Island, not all roads are paved on the island. It was a perfect spot to stay at the end of our BC coast vacation.

This was a fantastic place to say on Quadra. We had the place to ourselves, and it was very clean and well appointed. You can also visit the water via the owner's dock. The nights were very quiet and occasionally a cruise ship passes by. The cabin is a little less that 4km on a gravel road. Make sure you have some food before arriving!

Whalebone peaceful retreat

Perfect location for my daughter and myself. Sitting on the back porch facing the ocean and watching the deer in the yard among all the foxgloves and daisies was very special. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cabin. We enjoyed standing on the dock in the cove looking at all the sea life in the ocean.

The very best vacation rental

I have experienced a dozen or more cabin rentals over the years. This one was truly stellar, absolutely the best. I seek complete quiet (check), comfort (check), simplicity (check) and beauty (check). The setting was as fabulous as the condition of the cabin. LOVED it.

great cabin with almost everything youll need

great new build cabin, lots of great features. small drawback is very bright n the bedroom as soon as the sun rises, no curtains on the big fam rm windows, so no sleeping in unless you bring a blindfold, also quite a drive to anywhere, which is good and also could be a concern, long gravel road in not a concern for me with a truck, may be for others if you have a low riding car, overall a beautiful cabin and property
