Serene, comfortable, and funky cabin with its own trail to the beach. Highly unique stay. What to love:-well decorated cabin surrounded by forest- very comfortable beds - cozy breakfast nook for meals or cards- breathtaking views at the beach- hot tub and even some swings - sweeping porch where you feel you’re in the middle of a forest (as you are)- great hikes in every directionWhat to be aware of: - the hiking trail to the beach is quite slippery - internet is provided, but downloads and streaming are not allowed (and data usage is monitored)- no tv (but why would you need it?)

Adorable, cozy retreat in the woods near the ocean. Pet friendly. Loved the hot tub and the cozy fireplace. A great place to relax and get away from it all. A bonus is all the great books and games to enjoy.

We settled into relaxation the moment we arrived. The suite was clean, cozy and a very cool place to stay. Nestled in a great little neighborhood we loved the proximity to the beach. Would stay here again. Hosts were very friendly, accommodating and quick to respond to messages.

Amazing place!

I stayed at the boatyard with my sisters and my 3yo nephew and we had such a great time! Place is so quiet, in the nature, comfortable with everything we need. We would love to come back in the future! Thank you Kelly for the stay

Amazing Birthday Weekens!

The interior of the cabin was well maintained, clean, spacious and aesthetic. The wrap around deck was my favourite. The forest scenery was lovely and I adored the lack of a TV because my friends and I would have used it given the option, and I’m so glad we didn’t. We played the board games provided, chilled in the hot tub and had coffee on the deck. The hosts were very communicative and sweet, reached out to let me know there was risk of a power outage our first night. Would highly recommend!

Amazing getaway

We had such an incredible time staying at this cabin. The space was much larger than we had expected. Very clean and well maintained. Full wrap around deck and hot tub was perfect for a summer getaway. There are other units nearby and found that lots of people from other groups were walking around the property and house/going to and from the beach so it isn’t as private as anticipated but we weren’t too bothered by it. The host was very informative and helpful throughout the entire experience! We had not realized that the single beds in the second room were stacked! Only feedback would be to mention that somewhere :)

Cozy place

We really loved this place. The location is great although a tricky walk to the beach through the forest. We loved the hot tub in the pouring rain. The cabin with the wood stove and a generous supply of wood made for a very cozy and relaxing stay. There does need to be some outdoor lighting when you arrive and on the deck near the hot tub. My dog fell off a ledge in the dark near the old hot tub/pizza oven. Fortunately not hurt but that was lucky.
