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 handcrafted, Willowbrae Chalet is a warm and inviting West Coast escape featuring dramatic flared cedar log accents inside and out.
Inside, a stunning handcrafted log staircase leads upstairs to a spacious loft bedroom with a king bed, as well as a queen bedroom with an ensuite. Please note these two upstairs sleeping areas are connected by a shared entryway. The upstairs ensuite includes a stand-up shower and a charming clawfoot tub — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Downstairs, the chalet offers an open-concept layout with a recently updated kitchen, booth seating for family meals, and a cozy living room featuring a propane fireplace and vintage smart speaker for ambient music on colder evenings. The sofa also folds out to sleep an additional 1–2 guests. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is located just off the kitchen.

Step outside onto your large private deck, tucked into the old-growth forest, where you’ll find a covered hot tub, outdoor dining table, and a BBQ for the grill masters at heart. With forest views from every room, this chalet is the perfect retreat for couples, families, or small groups looking to unwind in nature.

A Hidden Gem for a Quiet Getaway

The Willowbrae cabin was a perfect little getaway for our anniversary. It was private, peaceful, and very clean. Having our own private hot tub on the deck made it even better and was perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The management team was quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely consider booking again and would happily recommend this cabin to others.

Cozy and amazing cabin

Willowbrae Chalet was the perfect cabin to stay in Ucuelet. It is cozy and got everything you need to enjoy in the cabin. Hot tub is just cherry on the top. This log wood cabin is perfect for a family. Our 2 dogs enjoyed a lot, felt so cozy that dogs preferred to stayed in cabin. TVR team is great and very responsive. They ensures that stay was enjoyable, responded promptly to the queries. Would definitely be booking with them again we visit Tofino and Ucuelet.

Beautiful chalet in the woods

We splurged on this chalet for our trip to the west coast, and we're sure glad we did! The place was so cozy and very well equipped with everything we needed. I always appreciate coffee, oil, and spices in the kitchen. The hot tub was the highlight of our day and perfect after exploring the coast. The chalet feels very private (especially the back porch) despite being on a property with other buildings. I would definitely recommend this place if anyone is looking for a relaxing stay in Ucluelet.

Beautiful, fully appointed yet rustic chalet

Lots of room in this beautifully-constructed log chalet for two couples and two medium-sized dogs. Kitchen fully appointed - it's easy to make meals and to eat comfortably at the large table. Two bathrooms mean there's no need to wait in line. The hot tub is well-maintained and ready to go when you come back from your hike to Florencia Bay, or along the other beaches in the area.

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!

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
