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.
