WILLOWBRAE CHALET at Florencia Bay Retreat is a quaint rustic cottage, privately located on a 2.4 acre old growth forested property bordering Pacific Rim National Park, within walking distance of Florencia Bay and Halfmoon via the Willowbrae Trail. This is a place to unplug and reconnect with nature and decompress from the busyness of life.
Custom designed and beautifully handcrafted, Willowbrae Chalet is a warm and inviting West Coast escape featuring dramatic flared cedar log accents inside and out.
Inside, a stunning handcrafted log staircase leads upstairs to a spacious loft bedroom with a king bed, as well as a queen bedroom with an ensuite. Please note these two upstairs sleeping areas are connected by a shared entryway. The upstairs ensuite includes a stand-up shower and a charming clawfoot tub — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
Downstairs, the chalet offers an open-concept layout with a recently updated kitchen, booth seating for family meals, and a cozy living room featuring a propane fireplace and vintage smart speaker for ambient music on colder evenings. The sofa also folds out to sleep an additional 1–2 guests. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is located just off the kitchen.
Step outside onto your large private deck, tucked into the old-growth forest, where you’ll find a covered hot tub, outdoor dining table, and a BBQ for the grill masters at heart. With forest views from every room, this chalet is the perfect retreat for couples, families, or small groups looking to unwind in nature.
