A hidden forest oasis in a lush BC rain forest steps away from the famous Sunshine Coast Trail. A perfect central location for day trips to lakes fpr canoeing and swimming and amazing hikes. Loved having the firepit for happy hour in the evenings. Amazing value. Its rustic but well appointed.
Lovely, cozy cabin on a beautiful, secluded property. Cabin is simple but well-stocked. Kids loved canoeing and playing with the dogs (as did our pup). Hosts were very welcoming. Be sure to use the directions in the app and not rely on Google maps!
Great, quiet location in the forest by the ocean. The cottage is well-equipped and very clean. We enjoyed hiking, swimming, and exploring the area. The hosts are very friendly.They have two large dogs who were friendly and played nicely with our small dog. We loved the place so much that we’re already thinking of coming back next summer!
What a wonderful cabin on Okeover Arm. The description had a minor error because the fridge had been upgraded from a propane fridge to an electric fridge just before our visit.
Cabin was clean and cozy. Directions were easy to follow. Took a canoe out for an evening paddle with the kids where a curious seal shared the calm inlet with us. Lovely stay all around.Thanks!
Had a great stay. Quiet location and close to the Sunshine Coast Trail for great dog walks, hiking and trail running.. Hosts were super accommodating. Being on Okeover Inlet we had access to world class paddling.

Thank you for your kind words. We also enjoyed you stay and were glad that you made the most of it...Cheers, Jurgen
Quiet off the grid style cottage
Just turn off your phones and internet and chill by the wood stove
A very nice cabin and the hosts are very accommodating
This is a beautiful property with lush forests and a cozy, post and beam cabin, which is just a short walk from stunning views at the waterfront. There are warm waters for swimming and wonderful gardens for sitting. The hosts are warm, friendly and inspiring. We loved our stay.
Perfect secluded location, perfect for switching off yet in relatively close proximity to other local areas of interest (e.g. Lund 15mins away). Delightful cabins, relaxed and friendly hosts - would most certainly recommend, and will be returning!

Wonderful seclusion and peace, on pristine ocean water. Owners are fantastic! Puppy time was a bonus. I'll be back!
This little spot was exactly what we were looking for! We enjoyed time relaxing, reading and plays cards at the cabin. We headed off for a couple day trips as well! Jurgen, Cindy and there 3 dogs were very welcoming! We enjoyed fresh basil from the garden, and garlic from a previous harvest. Would absolutely stay here again!
We celebrated our anniversary and engagement at Jurgen and Cindy’s picturesque property. Gorgeous craftsmanship was displayed not only in our cabin but all over the property. Fruitful gardens and undulating stone work led my partner and I towards the inlet - the warmest water we’ve ever swam in!
Highly recommend a 7+ day stay here
Thank you Cindy and Jurgen
An idyllic little cabin in the woods surrounded by old growth trees and beautiful gardens. It was a short walk to the inlet and a canoe was available for paddling. Hosts were welcoming and offered the opportunity to roam the property. Their dogs were a treat and popped over to visit.
A great way to get away and unplug.
This cottage is a true gem. My husband and I visited 10 years ago and we have always said we would take our children back, and we just returned from our visit. It was just as amazing as it was 10 years ago, our daughters had a wonderful time and we have made so many more memories. We definitely will be back for a third time.
