Fine Cedar House in the Woods!
We enjoyed our week on the Sunshine Coast. Everything went perfectly and we got to see some Deer, Kingfishers, Loons, Eagles and Ravens. We took our kayak down to the lake and took walks to the cute village, Many picture perfect lakes nearby.

Great property for dogs
We had an amazing stay at this property. Love the house. The property was great for our dogs. I love the seclusion. We loved how close it was to swimming water and the ocean and all the hikes around. My only issue was with the drive way with a full size truck, it was a little challenging turning around.

Family Day Getaway
We enjoyed a quiet few days which is what we needed. Four adults, two couples who holiday together once or twice a year. We enjoy new surroundings and prefer quiet locations just like this, so the fit was good.

Cute Cabin
The hosts were very friendly and gave a lot of information regarding hikes around. The cabin was fully equipped with lots of kitchen supplies. The backyard area is quite small but there's lots of trails to walk your dogs just a short drive away. There were plenty of blankets to curl up in and firewood available to heat the space. The pillows in the downstairs bed were quite small and flat, so I'd suggest bringing your own-the bed upstairs was very comfortable however. The listing advertises two bathrooms but be aware that one of them is just an outdoor shower, so there is really only 1 indoor bathroom. We sadly couldn't have an outdoor fire because of the fire van but it would have been a great place to curl up next to in the evenings. Overall, a great little get away with the family and a very pretty area.

Quiet, good value, amazing!
We had a great time here. The listing was very accurate. The check in process was great. The hosts were very detailed which made the process much easier. There is lots to do both North and South under and hour drive, and much within 15 minutes. The lake was excellent for swimming and right out the front door. We highly recommend and it’d be hard to find something as quiet and amazing for a similar price in the area.

Getting away get away
Our stay in Garden Bay was exactly what we hoped for. We loved the diverse area, with the sea being close and offering beautiful hikes along the shore for all ages, lakes with pleasant water temperature to swim in and coffee to enjoy on the deck, giving you a 100% relaxing feeling. The cabin is tucked away, giving you a lot of privacy. We all LOVED the outdoor shower. Another special highlight was swimming with the painted turtles, well, not really swimming with them but they come up close at the Katherine Lake beach. Overall, all six of us had a great time and didn't want to leave.

Tranquil and peaceful
We loved the homely feel of the property. It was warm and welcoming and felt like we were staying at a friends house and not a sterile rental. The outdoor shower was a hit and the preferred option after a day hiking. Sitting on the patio playing games with a drink of wine was the perfect end to a day. Walking down to the lake for a swim was refreshing and great way to unwind. Loved every minute of our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great log cabin get away!
Great escape from the city, only about an hour or so drive from Gibsons and close to so many lakes and Pender harbour. Gorgeous wooden cabin with high roofs and a patio that looks out onto Garden Bay lake. Wished we had stayed longer. Mount Daniel trail head a five minute drive away and a fabulous vantage over the whole harbour. Tamara and Steve provided loads of great recommendations (thanks guys!) The kitchen was fully stocked with all the equipment you need to feed yourselves for a few days (including oil, salt and pepper etc). One of the upstairs bedrooms has a skylight with no curtain which is great but can be a bit bright early in the morning so recommend bringing a sleeping/eye mask. 10/10 would stay again 😊

Lovely spot and beautiful location - large open main floor to enjoy family time. Appreciated the kitchen - it’s very well set up and spacious. Beautiful outdoor setting and comfortable porch to relax. Driveway was quite difficult, even with warning from owners, some cars could not make it up at all. Rainy weather made it much more difficult perhaps. Appreciated the pet friendly accommodations. Communication with owners was excellent and made us feel very welcome.

Beautiful spot and beautiful home!
We had the opportunity to stay and could not be happier. The location is tucked away and very private. You do need to drive a bit to get anything you may need but for us we loved the location. The house is beautifully designed with breathtaking wood beams and big windows to the forest. Lovely wood building stove to keep you toasty. Very clean and well equipped. Really the only small challenge was the driveway, its a bit steep so you need to be careful not to spin your tiers.
