About this property

Private West-Coast Inspired Cabin in the Woods

Please ensure you read the bottom paragraph before booking our cabin. Our cabin is a west coast inspired private cabin on over half an acre of beautifully forested land bordering a provincial park.

Open some wine and relax indoors by a wood stove looking through our large windows to the trees, or sit outside on our large deck and enjoy the sounds of the birds and the the wind in the trees. If you are looking for some quiet time away from the city this is the place….we always find it so hard to leave!

A beautiful quiet 5-10 minute (depending on your hiking speed) forest trail takes you to the ocean to watch sunsets, trail-run, hike, kayak, swim & fish. Our cabin promises to give you a true taste of the "Coast Life"!

Please note - our cabin is for families only or smallish groups 2-4) looking to unwind and relax. We love our neighbours and there is no option for loud grounds here. Please write us with any questions on this prior to booking as we are strict due to respect for our neighbours. Appreciate the understanding.

We were so comfortable and felt right at home in this cozy space.

So many great things to say about this property! A truly complete kitchen with excellent appliances and all you could need. Lots of space and very well laid out. The beds were comfy and there were many options and places to sleep. Really lovely location, and excellent hosts. We hope to stay here again!

Wonderful Place for a Family Gathering

My husband and I spent a week at this cabin along with our twenty-something sons and their partners, and all we had a great time. I don't think the photos do justice to the cabin, as it was larger than we expected, roomy enough for 11 people to sleep, so we may bring other family members the next time we visit. We loved that we were able to sit on the deck under the trees and read or play board games. The kids often went to the swimming cove, which is around a ten-minute walk away, and we all explored the nearby trails. I was able to walk the loop around the upper penisula every morning, and the views were amazing. A highlight of our trip was Baker Beach, which is a large, sandy beach only a 5-minute drive away from the cabin. Although we're accustomed to taking our recycling with us when we stay at VRBO properties on the Sunshine Coast, disposing of our own garbage was a bit trickier, as we didn't initially realize we'd need to separate the compostable items. Still, we had a wonderful stay overall and would highly recommend this hidden gem in the forest.

Sweet little spot in the woods

My family and I had a great time at this secluded cabin. Beds were all comfortable and sheets were great quality, which is rare for a VRBO listing. The upstairs shared room was very hot, a couple more fans would have been helpful. Also a slight inconvenience is that you have to take your own garbage out and bring it home with you. The walk to the water is around 10 minutes, with some up/down in the trail that feels more than your average casual walk. The location was great for a trail walk/run, saw a pod of whales and the neighbours were friendly.as well.

Very quiet and clean house. Lots of storage through out the house. Very good kitchen appliances and lots of kitchen wares. BBQ is a little bit old and needs replacement. No blind and shade over two skylights which are on top of one bedroom. Only two bathrooms for 10 people seems not enough.

Family Trip on the Sunshine Coast

Lovely, clean property with plenty of sleeping spaces for our family of 6 adults. Comfy beds and bedding though 2 of the beds (5 plus a dbl/sgl bunk available) are starting to sag a little in the middle. Quiet. A few minutes walk to Francis Peninsula with great views, moderate hike and sheltered rocky beach. Well appointed kitchen and large expandable table. Within 30 mins of Sechelt and Egmont and 20 mins from Smuggler Cove. Great food when we didn’t cook at the Grasshopper Pub a few minutes away. Host was responsive and quickly arranged for a pick up of a forgotten item. Would stay there again.

Fantastic stay, everything was easy, made some epic dinners and family time. The location is perfect hiking and there is lots to discover. Got the wood stove dialed on and was great for the couple days of rain. Love the area and we enjoy this coast. Thanks a million for making it so easy.

A perfect getaway!

Fantastic! We stayed for 5 days with our son and his 3 kids all under age four. The house was so tidy when we arrived, with lots of comfy beds to choose from. Plenty of room for us to cook together with lots of table room in the dining room. The patio deck was a great place to sit and watch the kids play in the yard. Close to the beach/trails. Rob was a terrific host and we all enjoyed our stay!

Ladies Kayak Getaway Sept 13-16, 2022

This property is absolutely wonderful!! It is located in the woods of Madeira Park and is so quaint, quiet and comfortable. Feels like home away from home. There were six ladies sharing the house and we all had our own bed and shared two bathrooms. It was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable. The house is lovely inside and out and contained everything you would need in a vacation rental. We were sitting outside on the deck the first morning after we arrived and were welcomed by a doe and two fawn. There were several more sightings of deer and a herd of elk. Travel time from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale is a lovely short ferry ride. We kayaked at Pender Harbor for two mornings and hiked in the afternoon. One hike was to Smuggler Cove and the other to Francis Point. Both are spectacular hikes with amazing coastal views. There is a hiking trail extremely close to the property. At the end of the driveway, turn left and the trailhead is at the end of the road. Our host, Rob was extremely wonderful to deal with. He provided all the information we needed for a smooth check-in and check-out and was only a text message or phone call away should we have needed him. There is a binder in the house containing favorite hikes both on foot or bike and favorite restaurants in the area. A couple of the local establishments we visited where there was excellent food was The Grasshopper Pub and Aqui Es Mexico where they serve a very tasty mango margarita. The only regret is that our trip was too short as we only stayed three nights. We highly recommend this property and give it a 5-star rating.

Great Family Getaway

Rob and Rachel's cabin was a perfect venue for our little family reunion. Highlights: Well equipped kitchen for 9 adults. Great outdoor space, which was framed in by beautiful mature trees. Short walk to trails and beach. Suggestions: Make the address sign a little more visible at the bottom of the gravel driveway. Thanks so much for everything!
