About this property

Beautiful Oceanfront ‘Cottage’ - Breathtaking Views,Beach,Pet Friendly,Fireplace

Our place is overlooking the ocean and beach with stunning views. Walk out your door and down the private staircase and be standing on hundreds of feet of practically private beach with stunning sculptural rockery, oysters galore, and endless wildlife. Walk for miles along the beach and you are likely to be the only people there. You’ll love our place because of the location, epic views, serenity, and the cosiness. Our place is good for those looking for peace and untouched nature. The cottage itself is very spacious with high vaulted ceilings, skylights, soft wood floors, very comfortable furnishings, luxurious king sized bed, full kitchen, wood burning fireplace inside, propane firepit outside on your orivate oceanfront patio. Ages 12 + only please. Great for couples, solo adventurers, (NON SMOKERS ONLY PLEASE), and furry friends (well-behaved quiet pets). Explore beautiful Denman.

Please Note: (Suitable for pre-walking infants or children 12and up only: see below for details on this).

Our 1 bedroom guest suite is very spacious with incredible oceanfront views. Softwood douglas fir floors, wonderfully comfortable king sized bed, plus 2 very comfortable pull out memory foam queen beds in the living room. Fully equipped kitchen, and we provide your own bbq area. Washing machine and dryer, huge living space with vaulted high ceilings, with a dining area as well. Tv (no cable) and dvd player provided with a huge selection of great dvd's to choose from. Wireless internet with excellent high speed connection is available for emails, google searches, maps, texting, working - facetime, etc, but streaming movies or tv limited to approx three hours per day ish on low res please.Also great for streaming music no problem. We provide a small speaker for you to plug your i phone or other devices in to listen to music. May need adapter. An assortment of classic boardgames and a small but well curated book library is also provided. We also supply stand up paddle boards and kayaks for guests to enjoy in our harbour on calm safe ocean days. The SUP's are for summer months only, while kayaks can be used all year round on calm ocean days. Picture yourselves picnicking on a bench on the driftwood staircase to the beach while you watch the waves roll in and the eagles fly overhead. The sun rises directly out of the ocean, a view you can see right from your bedroom or for an even more special experience, right from the beach. We also provide a huge outdoor oceanfront deck for dining and lounging with an outdoor propane fire pit. Inside is a wood burning fireplace for getting cozy. Also, our cottage is a 5 min drive to the Hornby Island Ferry so you can explore Hornby Island as well for day trips. This property is "real nature". Unstable, dangerous, and slippery conditions may exist within and outside the property, and is only suitable for:
1) Adults
2) Infants who are not yet walking, and will be held/ carried in a baby carrier or baby bjorn. This property is too rugged and wild for children to walk around on safely, we suggest only non-walking infants or well-behaved children 12 and older.

You will find total privacy and peace here. Separate entrance, with a gate around the side that takes you to the garden and onto the beach access staircase. You are welcome to enjoy strolling and hanging out on the entire east side of the property (roughly 2 acres to yourself) as we spend majority of our time on the west side of the property. There is another suite attached to our home as well as this one, but with strategic landscaping and soundproofing you will find peacefulness and privacy here. You can also walk down our road only 15 minutes all the way to the west side of the island point, where you can view the sunset, which is a beautiful nature walk, passing only the odd farmhouse and cabin, very quiet and peaceful. Having a vehicle is a huge plus as you can then easily explore that rest of the island with all the beautiful nature trails and parks it has to offer. Having bicycles would also be a nice way to get around. This part of the island is extremely peaceful and unpopulated, yet only a 7 minute drive from the ferry and shops/restaurants. You will truly be able to connect with nature during a stay at our cottage. Your view will be unique in that you see historic Chrome Island from this side, as well as a view of the provincial park, and straight down Baynes sound with absolutely no obstacles. The sun rises directly out of the ocean in winter months, a view you can see right from your bedroom or for an even more special experience, right from the beach. Eagles' nests are right above you, watch them hunt for fish and fly overhead all day long. In fall, a salmon stream is just down the beach for you to watch them spawn, seals and sea lions are present year round, as well as porpoises, and if your are lucky, you may even sea some whales swim by. Deer walk past your cottage regularly, and birds of all kinds are all around. Potters, fibre artists, jewelry artisans and glass artists dot the island and welcome your visits. We are also on a 3 minute drive form the organic winery. Also, our cottage is a 5 min drive or 15 min bike ride to the Hornby Island Ferry so you can explore Hornby Island as well for day trips. Keep us in mind for special event times on Denman such as the famous Writer's Festival in July, or the incredible Christmas Craft Fair in December. There is also a famous home and garden tour and an art studio tour every year.king wized bed, full kitchen, wood burning fireplace inside, propane firepit on your outdoor patio.

A lovely vista

The property featured a grand vista looking south over the water from a high bank. We enjoyed the view from a sheltered seating/ dining area, as well as from the 2 lounge chairs near the bank. King sized bed was also a great bonus.

The cottage was easy to find, clean and well equipped. Any questions were quickly answered. The bed was comfortable, furnishings clean and comfortable as well. We would love to return, and would recommend Timber Cottage to anyone seeking peace, quiet, and serenity. The ocean view and accessibility were perfect. .

Denman beauty!

This place blew me away! We will be back! The garden wasn’t in bloom but could imagine how beautiful it will be soon. The view from the bedroom and dinning room were spectacular. The sun gifted us with beautiful photos and a great day exploring Hornby Island! All of Robins suggestions made for a great get away!

Cozy getaway

A perfect spot for a base to explore Denman, put your kayaks in the water and visit friends in Courtenay, all of which we did. This quirky cottage has a gorgeous view, with great spots for morning coffee and walks on the beach. Inside you have all the amenities you need, from blankets to games to a decent kitchen - only caution is that if you're a cook, best not to plan for an elaborate meal as counter space is minimal. This spot gave us just the weekend we were looking for!

Great for a Weekend Getaway

My partner and I were very impressed with our stay at this property, very cozy on a stormy weekend (without feeling small!), clean, well stocked with cooking essentials, as well as ample firewood for the stove. Beautiful beach, and they have a great DVD collection which brought some unexpected nostalgia.

About the host

Hosted by Robin Braun

Host profile image
My husband Jordan and I were born and raised in Vancouver. We have always been nature lovers especially of beautiful BC. We met in horticulture school and upon graduation I went to work at VanDusen Gardens while Jordan was busy opening his garden centre/nursery in Southlands, Vancouver called KJM Country Gardens. Wanting to work together, I left the parks board and for years we ran our garden centre together along with Jordan’s mom. We had to close in 2015 due to the property selling and we then began our garden design company Habitat Gardening. In 2016 we realized we missed the vast space offered by our previous jobs and began looking to move away and begin a new project. We found Denman Island and discovered our new purpose: creating a magical place to have our small organic farm and garden, and creating a vacation cottage for people to rent and enjoy on the ocean. We love Denman and we know you will too.

Why they chose this property

This property is uniquely magical with such an abundance of nature to watch that we were simply blown away. It was unlike any other property we had ever laid eyes on and we knew it was our new home.

What makes this property unique

Vast ocean views and beach access surrounded by beautiful forest
