About this property

Charming Log Home on acreage bordering golf course with full gym

Log Home built almost 100 years ago, on 25 acres on the outskirts of town but only 5 minutes from major shopping and 2 minutes from the golf course and borders the Log Train Trail. The home is charming and has been well maintained but not a boutique show home or city home. Me and my family and some farm hands live on the property as well, so its private but only partially private, but still very quiet. There is unlimited parking for RV's, cars etc. The house has a fireplace and wood supplied if needed. This house is loved by 19/20 of our guests and hated by the 20th. Just trying to avoid that 20th guest as this house is what it is. The kitchen is the original kitchen from 100 years ago. The surrounding yard used to be a famous garden that was open to the public, but we have struggled to maintain it as of late. There is also a full exercise gym near the house which is just being completed. Cardio floor being added soon.
This gym however is not private as me and my wife use it as well.

Beautiful, quiet stop for my dog and me on the way to Tofino. The deck outside is awesome, and the wood stove inside had everything needed to get a cozy fire going on a cool May evening—really nice hosts.

The host was very accommodating and communicative during our stay. The place it self was well taken care of. It was really clean. There was plenty of space for everyone including for our dog. It was also well stocked with kitchen items and even had a bbq. Over all we enjoyed our stay and appreciated this quiet get away.

This is definitely an older place but the pictures are accurate. It was comfortable and exactly what we needed for our family who brought a dog. The property is quiet and tucked away from the city but also close enough to everything else in Port Alberni. The host was friendly and easy to deal with. Although I did not meet him, my family did and had a lovely chat. Would choose to stay here again.

Amazing heritage property. Great location near highway and town. Great communication with host before and during stay as needed. Appreciate the fire and heating up the cabin before our late 11PM arrival. Thanks again Dene for your hospitality and opportunity to stay at your beautiful log home.

Loved the cabin. A great combination of functional modern upgrades (good water pressure, good water wifi connection, working heating and big tvs etc) and lots of old world character. Especially liked the wood fireplace and covered back porch. A peaceful space close to the main road and services/restaurants. We’ll be back

We spent 2 nights here with our 3 teenagers. While the the cottage is older it has a quaint old timey feel to it, there is definitely history to it! It's not for anyone expecting luxury but it's spacious and having 3 bathrooms is a real plus. The beds all hays feather toppers so they were super comfy especially after long day trips. Location was perfect for a day trip Tofino and then another to Victoria and right down the road from EV chargers for anyone using an EV. Dene was very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a functional comfy spot to stop on a road trip on Vancouver Island!

The host responded to all of my messages. The cabin was decorated in authentic, beautiful antique furniture. The beds were extra comfortable, and when we arrived, there was a roaring fire. It was so beautiful. there was even an owl hooting outside to welcome us.

Communication with the host was great. We only stayed one night but wish that we were there longer. Ferry reservations dictated the short stay. There’s something quite special about staying in a log house with a roaring fire. What really appealed was the history of the house, including the pictures of the family over the many years. It was super clean and there was so much space. Feels off the beaten path but only a few minutes from the main road.
