About this property

West Coast Forest Retreat | Private Sauna & Cold Plunge

Step into your exclusive wellness sanctuary at our West Coast–inspired Forest Retreat cabin. Enjoy a locally crafted cedar Nootka barrel sauna and invigorating cold plunge, perfect for unwinding, rejuvenating, and soaking in the peace of your forest surroundings.

Nestled on over half an acre bordering a serene provincial park, our cabin offers the ideal mix of cozy comfort and natural beauty. Relax with a glass of wine by the wood-burning stove, gaze through large picture windows at the towering trees, or step onto the spacious deck to listen to birdsong and the wind rustling through the forest.

A short 5–10 minute walk along a tranquil forest trail brings you to the ocean and provincial park, where you can hike, trail-run, kayak, swim, fish, or simply watch the sun set over the water. Experience the true West Coast “Coast Life” in a private, peaceful setting.

Perfect for large families (up to 10 people) or small, quiet groups (2–4 guests) seeking rest and rejuvenation. We maintain a strictly quiet environment and we apologize we do not host large adult-only groups or bookings for guests in their 20s.

Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or soak in your private wellness area, our cabin offers a tranquil, unforgettable West Coast escape you’ll be reluctant to leave.

Amazing cabin in Sunshine Coast! The cabin is extremely clean and has a really great layout! Beaver Island is a really beautiful place to visit with your friends and loved ones! The hosts are very communicative and respond very quickly. They even went above and beyond and helped us return an item that we left there by mistake.5/5 would book again!

Fantastic stay, everything was easy, made some epic dinners and family time. The location is perfect hiking and there is lots to discover. Got the wood stove dialed on and was great for the couple days of rain. Love the area and we enjoy this coast. Thanks a million for making it so easy.

Quiet cabin in the woods

Lovely spacious house with comfortable beds. With a few improvements I would have given it 5 stars- curtains in one of the upstairs bedrooms, clean barbecue and frying pans, better equipped kitchen and wine glasses for all. Don’t miss going to the closet beach and walking out to the beacon!

A perfect getaway!

Fantastic! We stayed for 5 days with our son and his 3 kids all under age four. The house was so tidy when we arrived, with lots of comfy beds to choose from. Plenty of room for us to cook together with lots of table room in the dining room. The patio deck was a great place to sit and watch the kids play in the yard. Close to the beach/trails. Rob was a terrific host and we all enjoyed our stay!

Family Trip on the Sunshine Coast

Lovely, clean property with plenty of sleeping spaces for our family of 6 adults. Comfy beds and bedding though 2 of the beds (5 plus a dbl/sgl bunk available) are starting to sag a little in the middle. Quiet. A few minutes walk to Francis Peninsula with great views, moderate hike and sheltered rocky beach. Well appointed kitchen and large expandable table. Within 30 mins of Sechelt and Egmont and 20 mins from Smuggler Cove. Great food when we didn’t cook at the Grasshopper Pub a few minutes away. Host was responsive and quickly arranged for a pick up of a forgotten item. Would stay there again.

Wonderful relaxed vacation time

We were 4 adults on our short vacation. In this house we had everything. The only one problem is a garbage. Statement “ take with you” doesn’t solve the problem. Take where? To Vancouver? The rest was perfect and very comfortable. Thanks Rob.

Sweet little spot in the woods

My family and I had a great time at this secluded cabin. Beds were all comfortable and sheets were great quality, which is rare for a VRBO listing. The upstairs shared room was very hot, a couple more fans would have been helpful. Also a slight inconvenience is that you have to take your own garbage out and bring it home with you. The walk to the water is around 10 minutes, with some up/down in the trail that feels more than your average casual walk. The location was great for a trail walk/run, saw a pod of whales and the neighbours were friendly.as well.

Very quiet and clean house. Lots of storage through out the house. Very good kitchen appliances and lots of kitchen wares. BBQ is a little bit old and needs replacement. No blind and shade over two skylights which are on top of one bedroom. Only two bathrooms for 10 people seems not enough.

Clean, well situated and modern house

The house was easy to find and fantastically located: quiet and remote with lots of modern amenities,awesome kitchen and eating space and a nice small lounge which meant parents and kids could easily socialize and play. Nice big spacious deck with chairs and bbq was also well used. Luckily the kids are a little older else done things people may want to be aware of (E.g. No rails in deck) but a lot of this is self evident from the pictures. Rob was extremely responsive to the one message I sent,with a new bbq brush turning up the next day! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Wonderful Place for a Family Gathering

My husband and I spent a week at this cabin along with our twenty-something sons and their partners, and all we had a great time. I don't think the photos do justice to the cabin, as it was larger than we expected, roomy enough for 11 people to sleep, so we may bring other family members the next time we visit. We loved that we were able to sit on the deck under the trees and read or play board games. The kids often went to the swimming cove, which is around a ten-minute walk away, and we all explored the nearby trails. I was able to walk the loop around the upper penisula every morning, and the views were amazing. A highlight of our trip was Baker Beach, which is a large, sandy beach only a 5-minute drive away from the cabin. Although we're accustomed to taking our recycling with us when we stay at VRBO properties on the Sunshine Coast, disposing of our own garbage was a bit trickier, as we didn't initially realize we'd need to separate the compostable items. Still, we had a wonderful stay overall and would highly recommend this hidden gem in the forest.
