Architect designed cabin in the woods, Pender Island
We invite you to relax and enjoy our beautiful, peaceful retreat nestled in five private acres on South Pender Island. The property is sunny and warm with ocean glimpses from the cottage, deck and bathtub. The open concept cottage includes a spacious full height sleeping loft, fully outfitted kitchen with granite counter tops, bathroom with walk-in shower, and outdoor bathtub. The eclectic furniture consists of an antique industrial table and stools, modern sofa and ottomans, and a comfortable queen bed. The cottage, completed in 2013, is close to hiking trails, beaches, Poet's Cove Resort and Port Browning Marina. We try to reduce our environmental footprint through the use of environmentally friendly cleaning and bath products. Please note that pets are not allowed on furniture or the bed. Completion of construction on Canal Road is due to commence March 2023 and hopefully be completed by June. It is unclear at this time whether there will be road closures associated with the 2025 construction.

Responsive, helpful host.Quiet and private location. Forest surrounds you with a nice patch of ocean beyond. You can be cozy in the cabin or go out to one of Pender’s many lovely beaches, eateries, or other unique offerings (host offers some great suggestions).
This suite was a beautiful place to stay and we felt at home right away. The back deck has a view of the ocean but remains private from the the road so noise is kept to a minimum. The space was well taken care of and you can tell the host, Sandra, has put a lot of thought into everything you might need during your stay. Would recommend to all my friends and family!
We enjoyed the simplicity of the cottage and marvelled at the architectural features. I loved sitting in the beautiful Softline chair. This was our first stay on the South Island and enjoyed the unite, the pathways and the views across the sound.
We absolutely loved our stay at foxglove! The cottage is so tastefully designed and decorated and the setting is beautiful nestled amongst the trees. The outdoor bathtub and indoor/outdoor shower were real highlights! We were also really impressed by how well equipped the kitchen was - probably the best I’ve ever encountered from a vacation rental. It’s not a very walkable location but nor is most of Pender and it’s only a short drive from all the highlights on the island. We loved everything about it and had a perfect weekend getaway!
We had a great stay at this cozy cabin. Loved the setup of the property, especially the outdoor bathtub and loft-style bedroom! The property was very clean and fully equipped with everything we needed and more (Bluetooth speaker, BBQ, Woodstove, etc.) Hosts were super helpful and easy to communicate with! Glad we stayed, and hope to be back for sure!
We loved our stay at this little cabin! It was perfectly set up for 2 people and had everything we needed in regards to cooking utensils. We lucked out with getting a storm the first night and were able to view it from the large windows, we also loved hearing the rain on the tin roof. We loved the easy access to nearby hiking trails and beach access points.Would stay here again.
We had an amazing stay in this cabin. The outdoor tub and the stove were our highlights. The cabin is nicely decorated and has everything you need for a wholesome relaxing weekend. We will try come again!
We had a fabulous time at the cabin. Pictures dont do it enough justice! Ourdoor bathtub and wood burning small fireplace was top highlights. Thank you!
We have stayed at the cabin twice and both times were magical. Waking up in the morning to the view of the ocean and trees as well as the bathtub on the deck and the wood stove were all highlights of our stay.
This was the perfect spot for us and our dog. So quiet! The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The surroundings were beautiful. We couldn't use the outdoor tub because the temperatures were near freezing. Several restaurants and shops were closed this time of year but Pender Island has many wonderful hikes that we explored. A very relaxing getaway.
We stayed here for 3 nights with our dog and had an amazing time! The cabin was modern and cozy with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I especially loved the outdoor bathtub with views of the forest. We will definitely stay again next time we're on Pender!
The property was rustic and quiet. Furnishings comfortable, outdoor bath tube quaint but weather was too cold in October to enjoy the concept of a bath in the woods.
All the amenities we could ever hope for... including a wonderful clawfoot tub on the deck! Very comfortable and quiet.
Will definitely return when we make another trip to Pender Island.
Really enjoyed Foxglove Cottage. The cottage was simple,efficient and clever. Very comfortable and suited to the beautiful, wild surroundings.
We enjoyed e biking on Pender and sitting looking out at the ocean at various beauty spots.
