About this property
Cozy Cabin on a small Off Grid Homestead
Experience nature at it’s best. Stay at a unique off grid property in the middle of nature. We offer a cozy cabin on our small Homestead/guest ranch. If you like animals and natur, this is the perfect place. The cabin is set up with a full kitchen and bathroom as well as a wood stove, to make the cabin experience perfect. The cabin has a queen size bed in the loft and a pull out couch in the living area.
Explore the animals on the ranch, go for hikes (Trans Canada Trail is just 500m away), go bird watching or just enjoy the peace and quiet. The perfect place to fill up your energy. And not forget to mention, amazing night sky for stargazing!
The space
Our Homestead is secluded in the forest on the foot of Sooke Lake Watershed. We are 4km off the paved road, on a gravel road, tucked away in the forest. The cabin offers a queen size bed in the loft and a pull out couch in the living area. The cozy living area invites you to relax with a book by the wood stove. And the deck is perfect to enjoy your coffee in the morning and watch all the animals waking up. The cabin has a full kitchen and indoor plumbing.
We open our ranch for our guests, so you are welcome to explore everything and say hello to all the animals. Keep in mind, we are a working ranch. Therefore we ask you to specially watch your children as there is equipment around.
We do also offer trail rides, horse experiences and goat hikes in small private groups. Enjoy our beautiful nature in company of a great and fun animal.
