About this property

Willowbrae Chalet-Sophisticated Forest-Hot Tub

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 hand crafted by local craftsmen, Willowbrae Chalet features dramatic flared cedar log accents inside and out. Once inside you can follow the beautiful handcrafted log staircase upstairs to a large private loft bedroom with a king bed, adjacent to that room is a queen bedroom with an ensuite. Downstairs in the living room there is a queen size pullout couch to sleep an additional 2 guest. The Chalet also contains 2 full bathrooms with a clawfoot tub in the upstairs bathroom. There is a large private deck nestled in the old growth forest with hot tub, plus many other luxuries and amenities. Forest views from every part of the house!

Please note: To access the upstairs bathroom you must go through the queen bedroom
The cabin does not have a washer and dryer. There is a local laundry mat in both Tofino and Ucluelet.



Interested in a group booking? This property has 3 other cabins located on it which can sleep up to 18 guest if you rent all 4 cabins. Please contact Tofino Vacation rentals if you are interested in booking them all.

We had a wonderful stay at Willowbrae Chalet! We fell in love with the cozy cabin interior and enjoyed the grill and hot tub too. The view from the upstairs bathroom window in front of the tub was to die for. The location was great just slightly north of Ucluelet and allowed us to easily access our activities at the Ucluelet harbor as well as up in Long Beach and Tofino. Thank you for a beautiful stay - we will be back!

Stay at Florencia Bay Chalet

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated being able to have our small dog with us. It was colder than usual, so we were able to access some of the trails but the beaches are spectacular and we loved every minute of our stay.

An absolutely tranquil space to unwind. Everything you can need for your stay is available and the chalet is an absolute work of art and skill in wood work. We were sad to say good bye and wished we could stay longer. Pretty close to the main areas of Ukee but in a quiet area so that makes it easy to grab groceries or meals from town but enjoy the beauty of living in nature. Note: the bedrooms are both upstairs and can be an issue for those with mobility issues. So that might be something to consider when booking.

Way better than I was even expecting, all my friends were so thankful I found this place! It was cozy, clean, comfortable, and we had a fantastic time. I especially enjoyed having a soak in the upstairs tub and we were all thankful for the private hot tub in the back!

This was our second year in a row staying at the property and it was great! Clean and tidy. Kitchen was well stocked with lots of utensils and equipment. They had done some nice upgrades from the previous years. I would 100% recommend.

Really fantastic!

We really enjoyed our time in the cottage. Everything was super clean, the terrace with the whirlpool is a dream and the whole apartment is furnished to a very high standard. The directions and access to the house via a code are very easy and we were welcomed with a friendly personal letter and a delicious greeting. We also really liked the fact that we could do two trails from the hut to the beach. We can only recommend this house and even with three children it was pure relaxation. Thank you.

Beautiful, comfortable, private and fully and adequately equipped with everything we needed to cook, clean and enjoy our stay

Florencia Bay Retreat was all we hoped for and more, clean, comfortable, private and well equipped for 6 people. The check in and out was a smooth and easy process, with staff checking in via text to make sure we were content and have all our needs met. Would return again someday and would recommend the Florencia Bay Retreat

Great Cabin Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The setting was peaceful and surrounded by nature, which made it the perfect escape from everyday life. We loved relaxing on the porch, having a morning hot tub, and exploring the nearby beaches. The hosts were friendly and helpful, making our stay easy and stress-free. Overall, a great place to unwind—we’d definitely come back!

A Slice of Paradise

Thank you so much for an amazing stay! WillowBrae was clean, well equipped and had high quality amenities. The small touches didn't go unnoticed and really appreciated. This property is in an excellent location with amazing beach access to Florencia Bay within an easy 10min walk. The whole property is quite, private and even with other guests in the other cabins truly feels like you're the only one onsite. The stand out amongst this all was the amazing customer service - from booking, all the way through departure I was impressed with the personalized service and ease to be able to contact the Tofino Vacation Rentals team if I had any questions. This kind of top notch service makes me confident in booking any properties you manage! Thank you again and can't wait to be back again soon.

MY FAVOURITE ISLAND GETAWAY

Florencia Bay Resort has become my home away from home when I come to Tofino/Ucluelet. I have now stayed in both the Halfmoon Bay Cottage and Willowbrae Chalet and I couldn't speak enough about how beautiful they both are, attention to detail in the cabins is HUGE and everyone is so sweet and kind before, during and after my stays. I have dogs and it was crucial to find a pet friendly cabin where my fur babies could curl up in front of the fire and relax but still be a drive or walk away from the ocean. If you want a relaxing stay in one of the most beautiful places on earth Florencia Bay Resort is your one stop shop!

The perfect place to relax

Everything about this place was lovely. Easy check in, with the property manager checking in on us a few times during our stay to would make sure we had everything we needed. They had lovely Saltspring soap works products for your use during they stay and some local coffee for us to enjoy. Highly recommend this place and will be staying here again. The only thing that some might be bothered by is the low water pressure but it wasn’t a problem for us.
