About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Our place is overlooking the ocean and beach with stunning views. Walk out your door and down the private staircase and be standing on hundreds of feet of practically private beach with stunning sculptural rockery, oysters galore, and endless wildlife. Walk for miles along the beach and you are likely to be the only people there. You’ll love our place because of the location, epic views, serenity, and the cosiness. Our place is good for those looking for peace and untouched nature. The cottage itself is very spacious with high vaulted ceilings, skylights, soft wood floors, very comfortable furnishings, luxurious king sized bed, full kitchen, wood burning fireplace inside, propane firepit outside on your orivate oceanfront patio. Ages 12 + only please. Great for couples, solo adventurers, (NON SMOKERS ONLY PLEASE), and furry friends (well-behaved quiet pets). Explore beautiful Denman.
Please Note: (Suitable for pre-walking infants or children 12and up only: see below for details on this).
Our 1 bedroom guest suite is very spacious with incredible oceanfront views. Softwood douglas fir floors, wonderfully comfortable king sized bed, plus 2 very comfortable pull out memory foam queen beds in the living room. Fully equipped kitchen, and we provide your own bbq area. Washing machine and dryer, huge living space with vaulted high ceilings, with a dining area as well. Tv (no cable) and dvd player provided with a huge selection of great dvd's to choose from. Wireless internet with excellent high speed connection is available for emails, google searches, maps, texting, working - facetime, streaming movies, etc.Also great for streaming music no problem. An assortment of classic boardgames and a small but well curated book library is also provided. We also supply stand up paddle boards and kayaks for guests to enjoy in our harbour on calm safe ocean days. The SUP's are for summer months only, while kayaks can be used all year round on calm ocean days. Picture yourselves picnicking on a bench on the driftwood staircase to the beach while you watch the waves roll in and the eagles fly overhead. The sun rises directly out of the ocean, a view you can see right from your bedroom or for an even more special experience, right from the beach. We also provide a huge outdoor oceanfront deck for dining and lounging with an outdoor propane fire pit. Inside is a wood burning fireplace for getting cozy. Also, our cottage is a 5 min drive to the Hornby Island Ferry so you can explore Hornby Island as well for day trips. This property is "real nature". Unstable, dangerous, and slippery conditions may exist within and outside the property, and is only suitable for: 1) Adults 2) Infants who are not yet walking, and will be held/ carried in a baby carrier or baby bjorn. This property is too rugged and wild for children to walk around on safely, we suggest only non-walking infants or well-behaved children 10 and older.
You will find total privacy and peace here. Separate entrance, with a gate around the side that takes you to the garden and onto the beach access staircase. You are welcome to enjoy strolling and hanging out on the entire east side of the property (roughly 2 acres to yourself) as we spend majority of our time on the west side of the property. There is another suite attached to our home as well as this one, but with strategic landscaping and soundproofing you will find peacefulness and privacy here. You can also walk down our road only 15 minutes all the way to the west side of the island point, where you can view the sunset, which is a beautiful nature walk, passing only the odd farmhouse and cabin, very quiet and peaceful. Having a vehicle is a huge plus as you can then easily explore that rest of the island with all the beautiful nature trails and parks it has to offer. Having bicycles would also be a nice way to get around. This part of the island is extremely peaceful and unpopulated, yet only a 7 minute drive from the ferry and shops/restaurants. You will truly be able to connect with nature during a stay at our cottage. Your view will be unique in that you see historic Chrome Island from this side, as well as a view of the provincial park, and straight down Baynes sound with absolutely no obstacles. The sun rises directly out of the ocean in winter months, a view you can see right from your bedroom or for an even more special experience, right from the beach. Eagles' nests are right above you, watch them hunt for fish and fly overhead all day long. In fall, a salmon stream is just down the beach for you to watch them spawn, seals and sea lions are present year round, as well as porpoises, and if your are lucky, you may even sea some whales swim by. Deer walk past your cottage regularly, and birds of all kinds are all around. Potters, fibre artists, jewelry artisans and glass artists dot the island and welcome your visits. We are also on a 3 minute drive form the organic winery. Also, our cottage is a 5 min drive or 15 min bike ride to the Hornby Island Ferry so you can explore Hornby Island as well for day trips. Keep us in mind for special event times on Denman such as the famous Writer's Festival in July, or the incredible Christmas Craft Fair in December. There is also a famous home and garden tour and an art studio tour every year. king sized bed, full kitchen, wood burning fireplace inside, propane firepit on your outdoor patio.

Our stay for three nights was wonderful. The views are magnificent and place was cozy on a very rainy windy weekend. It was easy to get everywhere and the location was quiet and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Lit up well at night to find our way to the cabin. Very clean and well equipped.Thanks Robin! B
Our stay was just what we wanted- relaxed and peaceful. The accommodation was spacious, clean and well equipped. Our hostess Robin was hospitable and responsive to all of our messages. The view from the cabin was amazing with colours constantly changing like many of the West Coast paintings we see.
Beautiful property, everything was clean, tidy and all instructions were clearly explained. Also, the pictures don't do the cottage justice, it is much bigger and nicer than we were expecting.I 100% recommend this stay!
Clean, bright, compact space overlooking the ocean with lots of opportunities for out door seating. Very quiet and very private so lovely to spend some R&R time. One day spent on Hornby Island and another day in Courtenay.Morning Beach walk on the Island just gorgeous.l
The property was stunningly beautiful with breathtaking vistas for the view at every angle. The cottage was beautifully appointed and comfortable. Robin was very welcoming and made herself available for any questions any time.
The property featured a grand vista looking south over the water from a high bank. We enjoyed the view from a sheltered seating/ dining area, as well as from the 2 lounge chairs near the bank. King sized bed was also a great bonus.
We had a wonderful stay, we were able to enjoy the indoor space as well as outdoor space. Everything was very clean and inviting. Can't wait to stay here again.
My partner and I were very impressed with our stay at this property, very cozy on a stormy weekend (without feeling small!), clean, well stocked with cooking essentials, as well as ample firewood for the stove. Beautiful beach, and they have a great DVD collection which brought some unexpected nostalgia.
Awesome stay at the beautiful and cozy Denman Island cottage.
We really enjoyed our time on Denman. The vibe was chill and relaxing, and the people matched. It was exactly what we needed. Also loved all the local wildlife, what a cool place.
We had a great time at the cottage again. Robin is a wonderful host, and everything was perfect. Such a beautiful spot; we love relaxing there and enjoying the gorgeous ocean views.
This place blew me away! We will be back! The garden wasn’t in bloom but could imagine how beautiful it will be soon. The view from the bedroom and dinning room were spectacular. The sun gifted us with beautiful photos and a great day exploring Hornby Island! All of Robins suggestions made for a great get away!
A perfect spot for a base to explore Denman, put your kayaks in the water and visit friends in Courtenay, all of which we did. This quirky cottage has a gorgeous view, with great spots for morning coffee and walks on the beach. Inside you have all the amenities you need, from blankets to games to a decent kitchen - only caution is that if you're a cook, best not to plan for an elaborate meal as counter space is minimal. This spot gave us just the weekend we were looking for!
We've stayed here several times, and love the peace, tranquillity, and beauty of this ocean-side cottage. A great place to unwind, and a wonderful home base from which to explore the parks and beaches.
The cabin was perfect for a couple and their dog. Hosts were away but made sure we had contacts if we needed anything. Views were spectacular with lots of wildlife to watch.
We so enjoyed our stay on Denman and the cottage is amazing. We hope to return again! The views alone are worth the visit and everything was beautifully thought out & perfectly maintained…thanks again for sharing your amazing place😊
My wife and I booked the Salt and Timber cabin for a weekend getaway and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cabin has everything you need to relax, unplug and enjoy this small piece of paradise. While we never needed any assistance from Robin I could tell she would have gone above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
One could not ask for a more beautiful view at this property. How idealic it was for celebrating our 58th Wedding Anniversary and made our choice of exploring Denman Island a good one!
Such an amazing place to unplug from the world. The cottage is so comfy especially with a fire in rhe wood burning stove, with all the modern amenities you need. Property is great for pets with a large fenced in yard and a staircase down to the ocean right in your backyard. Owners are very responsive and great with animals. Highly recommended if you want a get away to a slice of heaven.
My husband and I spent four nights in this delightful cottage. The accommodation was spotless and perfectly equipped for guests. We loved the views over the water and were thrilled with the property's many outdoor sitting areas, as well as high-bank beach access. Would not hesitate to recommend this as a fabulous get-away.
