Great stay on the sunshine coast

We had a great stay here! The views are incredible and the sauna and hot tub were great. The barrel cabins are super cute and cozy, and the indoor/outdoor kitchen and hang out space has great amenities and is very comfortable. Dave and Katy were excellent hosts and very responsive during our stay. Would highly recommend!

Fun for kids

We loved the weekend getaway in spite of the wet weather! The grandchildren (6&7) had a joyful experience in their own barrel cabins! The steam sauna and hottub were a hit! And what’s not to love about s’mores made on a campfire! Thanks so much for the memories!

Such a cool spot!

We loved this location and will definitely be back. The barrels are cool, but really the kitchen and other outdoor areas are even more awesome. I definitely recommend visiting! The sauna was broken while we were there (we learned when we arrived), and there was a fire ban so we couldnt use the hot tub which was a bummer, but everything else was awesome!

Mini Mexico

This property felt like such a vacation! We called it our mini Mexico. Great views from all of the sleeping areas and an even more welcoming common space than the photos show. Thanks for hosting us!

Best Vacation Rental ever

We spent Canada Day long weekend at the property and it was probably the best vacation rental I have ever been too! Not only were the hosts Absolutely lovely, they made the check in process so easy and explained everything fantastically. To add to this. They lit the hot tub for us every morning and were just so kind! The property itself is incredible, I don’t think any photos or listings can really do it justice. The views are exceptional, really unbelievable, the area is quiet and peaceful and you could happily just stay on the property for your whole stay and be very content. The kitchen is so well equipped, the bests are so comfortable, and waking up to that view is just amazing. Even on the morning we left when it rained we got a quick sauna in and it was so relaxing. I hope to come back as soon as possible!! Thank you again for having us!!
