The Abode & Cedar Barrel Sauna in Robert's Creek

The Abode is a stylish, boutique cottage in the heart of the forest in the idyllic community of Robert's Creek, on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of BC. Newly renovated, with bespoke design and thoughtful features, this peaceful sanctuary was created as a retreat away from the busy city for discerning guests. It is fully equipped, and features an 8ft cedar barrel sauna in the backyard, looking out into the lush forest. It is only a short walk to the beach, and centrally located to amenities.

We are committed to be as available as needed, for their comfort at the property as well as to guide them towards amenities and highlights in the Sunshine Coast community.

Our guests should not hesitate to reach out to us for advice about how to optimize their enjoyment while visiting the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Robert's Creek is an idyllic community on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. There is a quaint cafe called the Gumboot cafe and restaurant close by, as well as a general store open 12 hours a day, and several shops. The cottage is close to the ocean, and many breathtaking hikes nearby such as Cliff Gilker Park or Dakota Ridge for hiking in the summer and snowshoeing or xc skiing in the winter. The nearby towns of Gibsons and Sechelt have every civic amenity and restaurants/stores you would expect in a city.

From the Abode, the trail at the end of the driveway is a short trail that ends at Malcolm Creek which is a cascading rock waterfall in rainy months, with a shallow basin and bridge there. It’s quite beautiful. The trail also connects to Woodley Road which connects to Lower Road which then further connects to several beautiful public beach access points. Try Metcalfe access point off Lower, or Stevens. This time of year it’s pretty low tide and sand bars in certain spots.

We know the Coast well and are happy to recommend activities, including secret beaches and hikes to our guests.

Guests have access to the entire Cottage including almost 2 acres at the bottom of the property.

The Abode is a spacious 900sf cottage with luxurious design features including in floor heating throughout, queen beds with washed linen coverings, turkish cotton towels, and a rainfall shower. The kitchen is custom built, and is equipped with japanese stoneware, high end cookware and cutlery as well as a Nespresso machine and teas. An 8 ft Cedar barrel sauna sits in the lush forest behind the cottage, as well as a barbecue and outdoor seating area. You'll find everything you need in the Cottage whether it's for an escape to think in solitude, or to experience the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Our cottage is directly connected to a provincial trail that leads to a waterfall within a 5 minute walk, and the beach at the ocean within a 15 minute walk. It is secluded, yet centrally located halfway between Sechelt and Gibsons, as well as the quaint Robert's Creek community within a 4 minute drive.

Our cottage can easily accommodate up to 3 vehicles for parking on the property. The community has a municipal bus service, but no Uber or riding sharing services. Taxis are not common either, but can be arranged on advanced notice.

Please keep in mind that our beds can seem firm for those who are used to a soft mattress.

Good stay but poorly maintained
Overall we had a good stay. The location is great (10 min walk to the beach) and they clearly put a lot of effort into making a cosy, well-furnished interior. However the whole property was poorly maintained. There were dead moths under the pillow in one room and lots of bugs and spiders in the corners of each room. The outside has a lot of potential but is poorly maintained. Bbq cover was lying wet in the grass, there was an abandoned lawn mower randomly across the driveway, and fittingly uncut grass. For how much this place charges wer wouldn't stay here agan.

Amazing House!
We had a great weekend on the Sunshine Coast. The house was in a great location, with a short walk to the beach. Along with being an awesome place to hang out both in the living room & outside by the fire. 10/10!

The Abode and Cedar Barrel Sauna
Great quiet location for a girls getaway! The place had everything we needed especially the well stocked kitchen! It was a little cold for us due to the only heat source being the in floor heating even though we turned it up. We had an unfortunate power outage that lasted the whole night so it was extra cold! Mattresses were too hard for our liking and beds too small! It was a very muddy trek to get to the sauna but it was a great experience and nice after a day of snowshoeing! A short walk to get to the wonderful beach! Overall a great little place and I would recommend it!
