My husband and I came to Ucluelet for a weekend getaway. The Forest Sweet Retreat was the perfect little oasis. The place was cozy, clean and thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities. The private hot tub and wood burning sauna were highlights for us after a long walk on the Wild Pacific Trail with our dogs, which we could access by walking from the property. The hosts Penny and Trevor we very hospitable and responsive. We will definitely be back again!
Everything was ao clean and tidy. Virtually anything needed for the stay was in the suite. It was super cozy, the hot tub and particularly the sauna were highlights.
AMAZING!!! its like your own little get away.. such a bonus to have your own private sauna and hot tub. Hosts were more than lovely, 10/10 would stay again and recommended :)
We love this property! Having a wood fired sauna AND a hot tub is such a nice treat, especially during the last storm cycle. Super cozy and Penny was gracious enough to leave dog treats and things for our puppy. We will be back!
Stayed for 3 nights, first time to Ucluelet. The accommodation was very nice. Bed was a bit small and the quarters are tight but well laid out and appointed. Outdoor area was lovely. Hot tub was really hot and such a treat. Hosts were super.
From the initial booking, ongoing communication, and a thorough and clear welcome package, this little retreat was the perfect getaway! Quiet and private, clean and well stocked with a bunch of little goodies! Hot tub was clean and nice to relax in after being chilly all day in the ocean and on the trails. Would recommend this location for couples or small family, and would definitely stay here again!
The place is absolutely unbelievable.We were a family of 4(2 adult boys) and were very comfortable.Inside is very charming and provides all amenities you need.The outside is well set up.The sauna and jacuzzi tub is very nice to come home to after your day of exploring.
The only downfall is that we were not there long enough.We will be back for sure and this GEM is highly recommended.
The stay at this VRBO was absolutely deluxe. Every detail was thought of from a fresh bowl of water for our dog upon arrival to a welcome sign with our name and fresh flowers. There was a wonderful bottle of local white wine cold in the fridge and snacks. Cupboards were full of everything. Didn't want for anything.
Lots of towels. The property looks like the online photos. Beautiful! Lots of private space with hot tub and sauna!! Bed was comfy.
Location was close to beaches walking. Great place to stay!!
Friendly hosts without being intrusive. Would stay again!!
Very private and peaceful . I could feel the tranquility with the forest surroundings, bird chirping and wind chimes..the out door lighting was a night touch as well. Very cozy . I would come back again.
What a great little gem, my first reaction when entering through the gate into the courtyard was to smile. The secluded outdoor space, complete with a charming hot tub and sauna, was impeccably maintained. Inside was equally inviting and spotless.
Accommodating four of us - mom, dad, and two teenagers - was a breeze. The pullout bed took up a bit of space once extended but as that was only at bedtime, it was a non-issue for us.
The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, with thoughtful touches such as a welcoming basket of treats and a cheerful birthday banner for our son. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
Our stay was amazing, it was short but well needed and the stay exceeded my expectations! 10 outta 10 I would most definitely go again! It was a lovely time.
This place truly lives up to its name as a forest retreat! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The space is equipped with every amenity one could wish for, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We particularly loved the vibe of the property, and its proximity to the charming town of Ucluelet was a bonus. The nature hike paths nearby are a must-visit, showcasing the area's breathtaking beauty. And to top it all off, the hosts were exceptional - a sweet message and snack basket greeted us, plus they were available to answer questions to ensure our stay was perfect. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway amidst nature!
Trevor and Penny are the consummate hosts - they thought of everything to make our stay unforgettable. The amenities (bedroom, seating area, bathroom) wonderful. The hot tub and sauna amazing, including several outdoor seating areas. We were able to charge up our EV on arrival and wished that weâd brought our dog to enjoy all of the treats and thoughtful gestures left to our disposal.
We absolutely loved our stay, the location was perfectly close to everything we wanted to see but so quiet and peaceful, it felt like being at an exclusive spa while we were staying.
We were traveling as a family of three with our four year old and he loved having his own space with the day bed in the living room and we enjoyed having our own space to enjoy inside or outside once he was asleep.
Canât recommend this spot enough and would go back anytime weâre in the area!
The forest retreat was minutes walk to the shops and restaurants in Ucluelet, and to Little Beach. We loved the hot tub and sauna, plus the decks were all well furnished and landscaped. The welcome basket and treats for our dog were appreciated!
On the positive side, the property is clean and very quiet, and the hot tub is great. As a senior with less-than-youthful mobility, I found the steep driveway, uneven stairs, and rickety handrail quite unnerving. The beds were hard and uncomfortable, and there was only one semi-comfortable chair to sit in. Not a good place for someone with an aching body to relax with a good book. If I were young and painfree, I'd most likely stay here again, but as a senior, I won't.
The property was an absolute delight, it had everything we needed, and was super super relaxing. The hot tub and sauna are such a treat. The property itself is just a little oasis and perfect for a quiet, relaxing few days. The owners live upstairs and weâre super nice, respectful and helpful. I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful little oasis.
This was a lovely spot to stay with perfect outdoor spaces, a hot tub and sauna and lots of greenery. It feels hidden in the woods. I went with my spouse and our young adult son. It is really better suited for a couple on a romantic getaway. We will come back for that! With three of us and a dog it was comfortable but a bit crowded. We had a mix up with VRBO not sending the code to the lockbox in their welcome email and when I went to the VRBO app to try to find it there the buttons in the app didnât work. Possibly user error. It turns out the code had been sent to us two months prior in the manual for the place, but we didnât know that at the time. Be warned and check your confirmation email for the manual PDF if you get stuck without the code. It took a bit to reach the owners.
We loved the relaxing vibe, especially having the wood burning sauna, outdoor shower, hot tub and secluded backyard. The inside was small but clean and had everything we needed.
5 - 20 min walks to shops, beaches and Wild Pacific Trail. 15 minutes to Wick Beach and 30 minutes to Long Beach/Tofino. Close to hiking and surfing with your own hot tub and wood burning sauna to relax in. You can also book massages while you're here!
