You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy Upscale Getaway - Fantastic Location

Welcome to Dakota Ridge! We are located near lower Gibsons atop Gower point, just a 10-min drive from the Langdale Ferry and a 5-min drive from the main strip of Gibsons - which allows you to have the perfect balance of marineside life and nature. Beaches are in walking distance.

Our property is surrounded by forests, beaches and serene walking trails so you can experience everything the Sunshine Coast has to offer. We ve created the perfect getaway for Vancouverites who want to unplug.

This is an owner occupied property with privacy assured.
The Heat Recovery Ventilatiom conditioned air circulates 24/7 for heating and cooling requirements

This suite is in the garden level of one of BC s most accomplished award-winning luxury home builders - Rae Gaylie. Rae has transformed this property into the perfect getaway sanctuary for those looking to get out of the city and recharge their batteries.

Inside you ll find a very spacious yet intimate abode (850 sq ft). Works well for small work retreats, couples who want a cozy romantic getaway or besties who want a place to relax, decompress and have a good time. Please no wild parties but feel free to be yourself and enjoy the abundance of energy you ll have after you cleanse your soul in our immaculate two-seat luxury steam spa & shower. The steam room is a preventive health space, aiding to detoxifying the respiratory passages, blood flow and warm you to your core.

Feeling stress or anxiety? The cave-like bedroom allows for perfect silence at night so you can rest without disturbance. Plenty of space for clothing and outerwear should you be on a longer stay. There’s also a comfy sofa bed that sleeps an extra 2.

If you are looking for something very chill during the evenings then enjoy Netflix on our 40” wall-mounted TV. Or perhaps a bevy and game of billards on our beautiful full-sized pool table. We ve also got plenty of space to knock out a few emails or work on your manuscript should you be so inclined. And of course we have excellent wi-fi so you can update your Instagram stories too.

When you stay at Dakota Ridge you get so much more than just lodging. We invite you to explore the grounds and smell the lavender in the garden. You can often see deer on "Gratitude Walk" a pathway located on our property which leads you to the waterside for tranquil walks by the sea. Don t forget to make time for a cozy fire under the moon and stars (weather permitting). This is all available to you on our property which truly lets you experience what nature has to offer.

We have taken guests out for boat tours before. It may be possible to arrange before hand but is always weather dependant.
Steam users need to be in good shape with a strong heart & lungs
Please be mindful of late night pool playing and of course, the felt and lights :)

The unit was a basement unit with poor sunlight during the day. The bedding was washed but with a super strong odor. The sofa bed in the living space had a strong odor too. Location is a bit hard to find. Plus side, the bath room is fairly clean and upgraded. Pool in the living space is great. Other renters are quiet.

Great amenties but
When you're spending over $5xx bucks for two nights, you expect the bed to be restful. We barely slept for 8/9 hours over two nights as the mattress definitely needs a change. My hips were in pain when I woke up. The pillows were completely worn out. I realized later that there were two more pillows that might have helped. Moreover, the smell on the extra thin blanket was awful. Lastly, the main blanket was super thick, and never found the right balance to sleep. We were either too hot in it or too cold in it. We should've gone to a motel or something to use other amenities like the sauna (which was uneven, so you have to keep switching around). Overall, it was not worth it at all. The kettle and the hairdryer were helpful. There's no cooking range, there was an electric cooker and olive oil if you want to cook anything. The fridge was cute however, I wouldn't put groceries for more than a day or two, as it is small and not powerful. The room and outside area had different temperature control systems, which was great to have too.

On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and the place was quiet and dark allowing us to sleep in. The bathroom was very nice with a great steam shower. There was a patio with a barbecue. On the negative side, the directions were poor and Google Maps did not get us there. Fortunately the host called when we didn’t arrive when expected and directed us in. Our initial impression of the property was not good as the grass was not cut and the property looked unkempt. The sheets were not fresh smelling when we arrived. There was only a very heavy duvet on the bed with no top sheet. We did find other sheets and a lighter blanket thrown (not folded) in the closet and these required laundering. Fortunately there was a clean insuite laundry. There were also no sheets to fit the pullout although the ad said the property sleeps 4. We found a dirty frying pan in the drawer and the knives were very dull. Overall, we would rate it a 6/10.

Property not as private as what we imagined. Suite is downstairs from owner with the stairs blocked off. There is a rental in the front, which you share a wall with and they have the front part of the house. Sandwich in the middle you can sit out as everyone using the property walks by. Walk to the beach is also fairly far. Would have thought it was closer

Nice relaxing stay in Gibsons
The property was nice and the suite was beautiful. We played pool and lounged in the steam room when we weren't doing hikes or exploring the shops of Gibsons. Rae reached out to us to see if we needed anything,but we had everything we needed. I am sure that if we needed anything Rae would have been able to provide it. Unfortunately we didn't have time to check out the walk to the beach,but we will do that next time we come!

Very relaxing time, quiet and restful. So nice to sleep with peace and quiet as we are used to city noises. Yesterday was cool, as we stepped outside our door came face to face with a friendly deer. Tough to find as need more specific driving directions to find location.
