About this property
The Enchanted Woods Waterfront Log Cabin at Secret Cove
•A gorgeous rustic 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom (sleeps 6) year-round waterfront log cabin in pristine Secret Cove. This private home sits on almost an acre of forested property. The forest and waterfront views can be enjoyed from the massive wraparound deck and hot tub. The Enchanted Woods Log Cabin has unparalleled views, a private 60 foot dock, a large wrap round deck, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, a *new* woodstove, an outdoor shower, a hot tub, 2 kayaks and a stand up paddleboard. The third bedroom is entered through the second bedroom, and is ideal for children but works for adults! ****VRBO has recently changed their rental quote system. Please ensure you have been quoted the correct currency and please note that the refundable damage deposit has likely been included in your quote. There is an additional guest fee for more than two guests. Please contact the owner with any questions.**** •The Enchanted Woods Log Cabin is best suited for families or small groups of friends who have a passion for nature and are looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat. Secret Cove is a tidal fjord with amazing bird watching, marine wildlife, kayaking, swimming, and hiking. The property includes a private dock and access to your 2 kayaks, as well as a hot tub and outdoor shower. •The cabin is located 5 minutes (by car) from Homesite Creek Falls hiking trails, the historic Halfmoon Bay General Store, Upper Crust Café in Halfmoon Bay, Rockwater Resort (enjoy an amazing meal and couples massage!), Buccaneer Marina (with a local water taxi and boat rentals), Secret Cove Marina (featuring a floating general store and the Upper Deck floating restaurant in the summer), and the breathtaking Smuggler Cove Marine Provincial Park (accessible by both land and water). Buccaneer Bay Provincial Park (with pristine white sand beaches) is located on Thormanby Island and is accessible by either water taxi or kayak (weather permitting). Past guests have enjoyed activities as diverse as fishing, scuba diving, stand up paddleboarding, golf, mountain biking (Suncoaster Trail Network), caving (Homesite Limestone Cave Trails), cross country skiing/snowshoeing (Dakota Ridge Winter Recreation Area), and triathlon training (amazing local rides and ocean swims – the Sechelt Aquatic and Fitness Centre is only 30 minutes away by bike!) •We are family-owned and operated: our property guidelines reflect these values. If you are looking for an amazing year-round oceanfront retreat in the heart of the Sunshine Coast, we look forward to having you stay with us! *If the Log Cabin is already booked for the time in which you are interested, please see its sister property, the Enchanted Woods Cottage (VRBO 616475).

Absolutely fantastic. Extremely comfortable/cool log cabin in a breathtaking setting. Afternoons spent on the deck lounging in the sun after exploring the vast amount of hiking tails accessed right out the door was amazing. Jennifer is a superb host, very helpful and responsive plus she welcomed our 3 dogs. Very highly reccomend checking it out for yourself.

Nice and quiet, everything as advertised. Could have been cleaner.
Host was welcoming and clear and prompt on communication. A variety on amenities in overall fair condition. The secluded location was calm, quiet, and relaxing.
The host was very responsive when I needed assistance. The cabin was very clean and inviting. And the perfect place for a relaxing getaway from our busy city lives.

The inside of the house was clean. There were plenty of towels. The beds were comfortable. There was no soap, shampoo or conditioner in the shower, only hand soap beside the sink. The glasses in the kitchen cupboards needed to be cleaned before use. The olive oil was wonderful. Unfortunately there was no salt, vinegar, milk and very little sugar for coffee. Oh, and the tv was not plugged in...at the tv or the wall. The wrap around deck was fantastic. So easy to follow the shade or the sun with seating in lots of areas. The deck panels were difficult to see through due to needing cleaning. As well as the deck roof and deck off the primary bedroom. The silence was golden. So very peaceful.
The cabin was great. Outdoor lighting was so so. Not enough over BBQ and Hottub. Decks were slippery but iverall was a Great experience. Would recommend to others
One of the best places we've ever stayed at! If you are looking for peace and quiet and privacy, this is the place for you. Our pup slept till 10am because there is absolutely no noise, it's heaven. Kitchen has everything you need. Beds are very comfortable. The house is clean and super cozy. Hot top is great and the outdoor space is perfect for the doggies. The host is easy to get a hold off and is very helpful. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us, we can't wait to come back!

Cozy cabin with great facilities, could have been cleaner and would have greatly appreciated dry firewood, kindling and paper for the wood stove….
My family thoroughly enjoyed the log cabin, nightly campfires, the scenery, the kayaks and paddleboard, and the many beaches and trails along the Sunshine Coast. We had a fun, quiet, and relaxing time.
Absolutely gorgeous cabin, and Jennifer was a wonderful host! We had a brilliant time in the sunshine coast, and can definitely see ourselves coming back and booking this spot again. So quiet, full of nature, and the sky on a clear night had some of the most stars we have ever seen!If we had one minor complaint, there was very little light on the patio area (including no outdoor lights) which made it really difficult to use the BBQ after 5pm in the winter. We ended up having to point one of the living room lights out there for us to use. Additionally, the pillows in the master bedroom were quite old and flat, although fortunately we could grab some better ones from one of the other rooms that we weren't using. As I said, minor issues and overall, absolutely brilliant trip!
Wondeful stay at a gorgeous property. Access to the docks is wondeful as we did canoeing and paddleboarding. We saw seals really close to us as well. There is so many great things to do in the area and we cannot wait until the next time :)
Great location. Great host. Would highly recommend this cabin for a perfect family vacation!
Great stay! Perfect location. Host was incredible!
