About this property

Black Cedar Escape- A Chalet for Every Season

Nestled among red cedars and golden fields, Black Cedar Escape is a handcrafted chalet that offers a balance of modern amenities with cozy charm. With its bold black exterior and warm light filled interior, the space was designed for both rest and connection with nature. Wake to fog rolling across the fields, hear birdsong in the distance, and unwind in a space that feels both grounding and inspiring. We hope our home, built from the heart, makes you feel as relaxed and comfortable as we do.

Our 2 bedroom + loft, 1 bathroom newly built house sits on half an acre which provides ample space and privacy to enjoy this peaceful place. You'll find polished concrete floors and custom finishing throughout.

Wake up to a magical field view from the master bedroom as morning fog rises, offering a serene and mystical experience. The wood stove makes all of your hygge vibes a reality in the colder months.

The kitchen is fully equipped with state of the art appliances, high quality organic spices and oils, and all of the essential tools for gourmet home cooked meals. We are only 5 minutes outside of town which makes accessing grocery stores and restaurants a breeze.

We include organic linens for each bed, and use non-toxic, environmentally friendly cleaning products throughout the home. *Please avoid strong fragrances due to a scent allergy.

We do have wildlife cross through the property often, and we have security cameras around the perimeter to see who comes and goes to ensure safety.

We have big plans to add a bathhouse/sauna in the next year, so stay tuned for updates!

This was an amazing property in a fantastic location. This was one of the best vacay rentals we ever stayed in. The house is beautifully finished, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, in a quiet location with a peaceful and beautiful view. The hosts were very easy to deal with, responded quickly, and gave simple and clear instructions on entry and leaving. The area around this rental is spectacular. It is less than 5 minutes from Enderby and has so many great things to do in the area, especially floating down the river!! This place was so great we extended our stay...twice! We will be back for sure and I highly recommend this renal and these hosts!

Get-together with Friends

My friends and I had a lovely stay at Blackbird Retreat. The cabin is very clean and immediately felt like home. The location feels secluded, but is only a 4-minute drive from downtown Enderby. We cooked all meals over our 6 night stay. The kitchen is well stocked with high-end appliances and cooking utensils. We loved sitting by the fire, playing card games, and listening to music.

Stay

The property was clean, well laid out, and very welcoming—overall a lovely space to stay. However, I was surprised to find security cameras on-site, including a motion-activated one at the front door, which wasn’t clearly disclosed in the VRBO listing. Clearer communication around surveillance would have made me feel more at ease.I also found the host’s communication to be somewhat passive-aggressive, particularly around a situation involving my dog. People have different views on how pets are managed, and mistakes with animals can happen. A bit more understanding and empathy would have gone a long way.With more transparency and gentler communication, this would have been an excellent stay.

No access code in instructions resulted in huge inconvenience

Because the owner did not provide the access code in the check in instructions and could not be reached we had to completely change our travel plansNot impressed

About the host

Hosted by AC Lee

Host profile image
My husband convinced me to move to his hometown of Enderby after we lived together in Kelowna for 5 years. We had visited lots, but it was time to escape the busy city life and enjoy being immersed in nature. We originally built a house in a development right in town, but after a year there we decided to utilize the property he bought off of his dad when he was younger.

Why they chose this property

It's crazy to think of where it all started with this property. When I first visited, it was covered in trees and completely overgrown and natural. We cleared an area for what we planned as a shop footprint, and the ideas evolved after that. The serene quiet, the natural beauty, and the woodland visitors make it a very special spot.

What makes this property unique

Even though we are only 5 minutes from town, you feel like you're miles away from others. The community nearby keeps to themselves and we all respect each others privacy. There aren't many places where you have access to both the convenient essentials of town and the feeling of a secluded retreat!
