With a full kitchen, inviting living spaces and a fireplace for cozy storm-watching evenings, Cedar is ideal for couples or groups seeking comfort and tranquility.

ABOUT ARBUTUS COVE RETREAT Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape. Our four fully contained, private suites (Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka and Heron) are perfectly located between Powell River and Lund, about 15 minutes from each.

Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna, or gather at the beach fire pit.

GETTING HERE Powell River is on the mainland but isn't connected to the provincial road network, so driving from Vancouver takes two ferries: Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. In summer, reserve the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale sailing; reservations aren't available on the Earls Cove to Saltery Bay leg.
By air: Pacific Coastal Airlines flies from Vancouver airport, and Harbour Air flies from downtown Vancouver to Powell Lake. The Harbour Air dock is next to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, where you check in, about 10 minutes from Powell River's city centre.

This property is one of a kind! Our party had a dreamy few days away from real life.Exquisite location, amenities and hosts. You won't regret booking here!
The property was beautifully decorated with everything you could need supplied. A wonderful space to spend time in with a thoughtful and accommodating host. By far the best spot we've stayed in during our journey so far.
We are a family of 5 with 3 adult[ish] children. The Cedar Suite was a really comfortable layout for a full week at Arbutus Cove Retreat. The kitchen was nicely set-up and the big kitchen table was perfect for playing games. The sauna and hot tub were especially soothing and the location of Arbutus was perfect for exploring local trails & beaches. Jennifer was even kind enough to loan us their bear spray when I forgot mine at home. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
We had the best time.the house is so comfortable and well equipped, the setting breath-taking and the amenities make the experience so so special. We can’t wait to return!
Everything about the property and the location are top notch. It is a perfect getaway from the busy city life. I am already recommending friends to book for a stay in this property when they are in Sunshine Coast.
Everything about our stay was top notch. The house is well appointed and we had everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was very well equipped as were the bathrooms and right down to a basket of wood for a fire in the wood stove. Highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay in the Cedar Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat. The space was thoughtfully laid out, spotless, and the views were absolutely stunning. Check-in was seamless, and everything was just as described. We’ll definitely be back!
Everything about the Cedar and Hemlock (our family stayed in both) suites was wonderful -close enough to Powell River, but located on the water, why leave? The suites have everything you would need -a well appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds, a great view of the Strait of Georgia and a beach bonfire site. Would definitely book with Sean and Jennifer again.
Highly recommend this gorgeous waterfront property! 5 ⭐️ Home is beautiful, nice outdoor patio, pergola by the beach, salt water hot tub & fire pit! Great stay🙌🏻
Our group had (4 adults and 2 kids) had a wonderful stay. The suite was very well equipped and cozy for a few rainy fall days.
We loved the hot tub and the views.
Brian and Jenny were very gracious hosts and made sure we were comfortable.
Would love to stay here again!
Everyone has a great stay- quiet spot for a get-away, and lots of space inside for the family to enjoy. Great host that helped with answering all of our questions. Added bonus- saw whales from the hot tub - who could ask for more?
Sean and Jenn were the most attentive and lovely hosts we have ever had the pleasure of staying with. They have put a lot of love and hard work into this property and we were lucky to find it. Mother nature added her touch as well and provided us with some great memories.
Whales, sunrises and sunsets, full amenities, easy access to town and yet away from town, access to wonderful walks and beaches, views of ships, seals, eagles, and the sea, comfortable living space, many amenities for cooking (!!!) and a wonderful home for famiilies.
