You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Forest Hideout - Peaceful Cabin Getaway in the woods
Our tiny cabin is located on a 14 acres property in the middle of the woods. You will enjoy complete privacy and use of your own area on the land, including a pond.
Pottery lessons are available by request if you have always wanted to try it out.
The cabin is new and has a big deck as additional outdoor space with a patio corner including a table and an outdoor shower with forest view through a glass wall. We provide biodegradable organic soaps, shampoo, conditioner and cleaning products as well as fresh towels, wash cloths and a hair dryer.
An on-demand propane tank will provide hot water for the shower and the kitchen which includes a new small propane cookstove. Apart from that the kitchen is stocked with appliances such as a fridge with freezer, a toaster oven that fits a 12” pizza, a toaster, an electric water kettle, an espresso maker and a french press for coffee. We provide organic tea and coffee, organic sugar, salt, pepper and oil and vinegar. We also have seasonal availability of farm fresh eggs. There is everything you need to cook a meal and clean up after plus store your leftovers in the fridge. The eating table can be folded up to create more floor space.
The sleeping loft is accessed by a ladder with extra safety bar to hold on to and support you climbing up and down from the loft. Physical ability to use ladder is a requirement. There is enough room to stand in the middle of the loft but not under the slanted ceiling areas.
Our mini wood stove warms the place quickly and we have lots of firewood onsite to use.
Drinking water comes in excellent quality straight from the tap from a 250 ft mountain well.
The composting toilet has a great view of the pond and is supplied with toilet paper and peat moss. It’s a stone’s throw away from the cabin and there are flashlights available plus solar lights and torches along the way.
Beside the pond you have the opportunity to relax in a family sized hammock under big trees and enjoy the sounds of nature.
This is an ideal getaway for couples, good friends, or for solo reflection and artist retreat. We have a fully equipped pottery studio on the property and the kitchen is filled with our handmade dishes.
Located 2 min, from the Transcanada Trail, 20 min. walk to the Kinsol Trestle, a World Heritage Site with beautiful swimming holes right underneath the bridge. 20 min. to next Grocery store and 22-25 min to Duncan. Approx. 50 min- 1 hr to Victoria.
