Family Day Getaway

We enjoyed a quiet few days which is what we needed. Four adults, two couples who holiday together once or twice a year. We enjoy new surroundings and prefer quiet locations just like this, so the fit was good.

Cute Cabin

The hosts were very friendly and gave a lot of information regarding hikes around. The cabin was fully equipped with lots of kitchen supplies. The backyard area is quite small but there's lots of trails to walk your dogs just a short drive away. There were plenty of blankets to curl up in and firewood available to heat the space. The pillows in the downstairs bed were quite small and flat, so I'd suggest bringing your own-the bed upstairs was very comfortable however. The listing advertises two bathrooms but be aware that one of them is just an outdoor shower, so there is really only 1 indoor bathroom. We sadly couldn't have an outdoor fire because of the fire van but it would have been a great place to curl up next to in the evenings. Overall, a great little get away with the family and a very pretty area.

Quiet, good value, amazing!

We had a great time here. The listing was very accurate. The check in process was great. The hosts were very detailed which made the process much easier. There is lots to do both North and South under and hour drive, and much within 15 minutes. The lake was excellent for swimming and right out the front door. We highly recommend and it’d be hard to find something as quiet and amazing for a similar price in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Tamara Litke

This is our future home that we share with others. We appreciate nature and the ability to be in a natural setting with the comforts of home. We've lived on the west coast for 3 decades and this is our sweet spot on the planet. We work in the environmental field and this is the best of BC.

Why they chose this property

We looked for years throughout BC and loved the unique triangle with 1300 feet of lakefront as well as the conduit linking the lake to the ocean. There's a nearby recreational area great for kids and 5 local freshwater swimming lakes. There is abundant wildlife (many birds as well as some elk and deer). Tree frogs sing and we can hear owls and coyotes at night sometimes. It feels far away, yet all the city amenities are close by if needed - the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Privacy while being near activities if needed. Hand crafted home with many handmade ceramics and artwork. Wood burning cookstove in winter (experience or following instructions important) and driveway that is best with all wheel drive.
