Perfect little cosy hide away
After a lovely little car journey from Vancouver we arrived at the property happy but sleepy, we opened the door of the cabin to a very clean and cute space with a nice and welcoming note. The fireplace (which Is my favorite feature) was lit immediately and we made a bite to eat in the well stocked kitchen, we would have brought some herbs if we knew they wouldn't be here but other than that it had everything, We would bring more bottled water with us next time, it might be fine but there was a Small smell of sulphur off the water and it made us question it. If we had more bottled water we would have been fine. We wanted a cosy cabin to hang out in so location didn't matter too much to us but it's about 15 mins to Ucluelet and 30 mins to Tofino. We really enjoyed our stay and wish we were staying longer, would definitely recommend.

Overall not bad
Cabin , owner was pleasant and answers emails quickly, owners dog not really friendly, nipped my arm. Parking is provided, keep in mind if the smaller cabin is occupied and you have a large truck as I do, it can be done but maneuvering into the spot will be tricky. Would be spectacular if some attention is paid to a few finer details, The ad states fully stocked kitchen, this is somewhat misleading, there are items that are not provided and if one assumes a fully stocked kitchen and does not bring your own items you will find it difficult, they may be small items however when you do not have them...I brought some of the items missing, you may want to bring your own spatula, potato peeler, grater, measuring cup, scissors would be handy to open packages, bring your own sharp knife/ knives, there was a can opener but it was not usable at all. Be sure to bring your own spices and oils theres no hood fan over the stove, the fire extinguisher is 5 years past it's service date. A broom and dust pan would have been nice if you dropped items or want to clean up needles etc.. tracked in. There was a dish brush but some scrubbies would be nice as the pans are mostly stainless steel which are great, if you are not familiar with using those types of pans cleaning up will be difficult. The split AC/heat pump is a great feature but could use some maintenance. In general the cabin and owners are very nice but a little more effort can be put in and the whole experience would be flawless.

I prefer being away from town and having people or groups in close proximity. This property allowed us to visit the Ucluelet and Tofino shops and restaurants and then retreat away from the crowds. A perfect location just far enough away from the tourist attractions.

Peaceful and quiet cabin in the woods, away from most other travellers, this place was exactly what I was seeking. I loved this cabin and was sorry to leave. I would definitely book this again. The bathtub was a real treat. I will add that the stairs up to the bedroom are a bit steep and there isn’t a railing so if there are any mobility issues, the stairs may be a challenge.

The cabin was very beautiful and clean. Well maintained. Located in a forest area. There is another small cabin right next to this one. This cabin is spacious inside enough for 2-4 people. We stayed for 6 nights. The kitchen was well equipped. The cabin has a lot of glass windows giving us an opportunity to enjoy the forest around. There was a good collection of DVDs. Host was reachable via messages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

It was ok!
The cabin is as advertised "rustic", the check in was seamless , didn't require a need to contact manager. A couple of things missing was lack of blankets - it was cold and there was no extra blankets, with that said, there is a heat pump which helped. The beds were not comfortable, the sofa bed was terrible. Other things it was missing that could make it better , for example tea towels for doing dishes and paper towels for easy clean up. Honestly, the worst part was the overwhelming smell of sulfur every time we turn on the hot water. the egg smell is still burned in my nose. the water felt like a dirt film on our skin. what isn't shown in the picture is there is another tiny home across the drive way and they left the light on all night and so basically we had to sleep with the spot light light on, due to thin curtains that did not block out the light. if you are looking for a off the beaten path getaway this is your place. remember to bring blankets , paper towels and bottled water.

Very comfortable and secluded stay in the woods
I loved this secluded cabin in the woods. It was clean, cozy, and just like the photos in the listing. Ucluelet is quick drive away, and Tofino, with gorgeous beaches and great restaurants is about 30 min or so away. I loved that I could be totally off the beaten path and quiet if I wanted, but I could easily get to civilization when I wanted to socialize. There are many great outdoor activities nearby, like lovely coastal hiking trails near Ukee and kayaking excursions in Tofino. My favorite part of the cabin was definitely the unique bathroom. I took luxurious baths in the giant tub almost every day with a serene view of the woods outside. I would definitely recommend this place and stay again if I was in the area!

The cabin is exactly as pictured and was really comfortable! As other reviews mention, it's a shared property with a tiny home and a residential house. Wood stove was such a nice feature, host was super friendly, we will totally stay there again!!

A little slice of heaven tucked away in Ucluelet
A wonderful and cozy cabin with all the amenities you'll need for a private stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Kristina was helpful and the cabin is amazing. If you need a place to get away, this is something you should consider.

If you’re looking for a quiet and convenient spot, no need to look any further. We had four people in our group and we all slept soundly. It was pitch black and really quiet at night and cozy with a wood stove during cool Ucluelet evenings. Great location. Will stay again.

Nice place but several tripping hazards and dangerous stair case. Couldn't figure out the TV remotes. It would have been nice to have an extra blanket on the beds and fold out couch mattress needs replacing. Cute place though and lovely woods.

The cabin is lovely, well appointed, comfortable. Better suited for 2 people - we were 4. Owner extremely helpful. Location quite isolated so you either take walks along the road or drive 12km for shops, restaurants, coastline.

Wonderful Getaway
Wonderful stay at the cabin in the woods - Nicely kept, clean and quiet place, surrounded by beautiful forest, to get away and relax! Easy to find and clear instructions from host for check in/parking. Stairs to the loft are a bit steep and no handrail - something to keep in mind for those with reduced mobility. Overall, an excellent base to come back to after adventures in Ucluelet or Tofino. We will definitely keep this place in mind if/when we are in the area again.

Lovely spot nestled in the trees, very calming. We think there may have been some very quiet otters making their den under the cabin so be aware you may be sharing with the locals:) we slept like rocks in this cozy spot.

Great location. Could of used a couple lawn chairs it sit on the beautiful porch. A contact number from the owners would of been nice. A sign on the road and the end of the driveway would of been so helpful on finding the address. A king size bed would of been amazing.

The cabin was perfect, everything I needed, cozy and in the forest. Really enjoyed my stay! The only thing I did not like, it was a shared driveway so it did not have the privacy I was hoping for.

Fantastic spot among the trees!
My family (2 adults and two young children) rented the cabin in August. The location was great - close enough to town that we could get everything we needed but far enough away that it felt somewhat secluded (in a good way). The cabin was clean and well stocked with necessary items. The large windows provide fantastic views of the forest. The owner's property is right behind the cabin, but we never heard any noise coming from their property, only the odd car driving up or down the driveway to the road. Owner was very attentive and ensured some extras were available for our kids. Would (*will*) definitely stay here again.

Nice and quiet but needs a little TLC
We love that this place is tucked in out of the way. Everything is clean. There needs to be a stair railing for getting to upstairs and some hooks for Hanging up jackets. Pantry items were minimal and were woken up by the septic alarm at 3am thus the overall of 3.

We always take our guest's stay seriously and welcome tips for improvement. We stock tea, regular coffee, instant coffee, sugar, salt/pepper, and oil as our pantry amenities. It was completely unfortunate and beyond our control with the septic alarm going off. In 4 years on the property this is the first time it happened, (we do regular maintenance as advised) and were able to have the issue fully resolved once the service septic guy was able to come on Friday.

First off the property itself is gorgeous. Exactly what we were looking for, secluded in the woods. However the main house is within view. Not a big issue for us but if you want to be completely alone it might be. There were a few big issues for us though. #1 was the water. Its well water, which again not an issue, but this well water was very sulphurous. Everytime you washed your hands/took a shower/washed dishes all you smelt was rotting eggs. We didnt feel comfortable drinking it so we had to either boil it first or drink from the 4L jugs we ended up buying. Gave a bit of the water to my pup who we brought and the next day he had pretty bad diarrhea so we stopped giving him that water as well. #2 was the heating. During the summer it might be better (we stayed mid Feb) but the place was absolutely freezing if we didnt have the fire going. And even then it didnt reach the bathroom. Bathroom had one small heater in the corner, but the bathroom is huge! If you had to use the toilet or tub you were freezing, especially in the middle of the night. Kitchen was also very cold as we couldn't figure out the heater for that area and the big heater in the living room area did not reach the kitchen. Overall there seemed to be a lack of air circulation. #3 was the blinds. The place is covered in windows, which is awesome! But all the blinds they have are see through. It wouldn't be a big deal but the main house is in view.. and they were driving by several times a day. If you

Nestled in the forest and beautiful, clean, and quiet. However I would not recommend this cabin for 4 people, as the pullout couch is very uncomfortable. We also didn’t like the disturbance of traffic going to and from the house above.

Cet hebergement est une experience en soit. J'ai adore la foret humide qui l'entour. La salle de bain est unique. Le seul desagrement etait l'absence d'une hotte dans la cuisine et la proximite avec une autre petite maison de location. Ne pas prevoire y cuisiner de la viande. Les proprietaires sont discrets et nous ont fait de bonnes recommandations lorsque nous les avons croises.
