Excellent and luxury hideaway
This place and Karen as a host was all we could dream of. We felt so taken care of both before, during and after our stay. A wonderful easterbasket met us at the kitchen table when we arrived, and we so enjoined a few days of fealing at home in this cozy cabin by the fireplace, at the porch with a look to the river or while cocking in the well equiped kitchen - if we ever come back to Vancouver Island, this will be the place to stay

Peaceful home away from home
Lovely, clean, quiet and comfortable cabin in the woods. Exactly what we needed for a refresh and recharge and some much needed quality time. The cabin and property were beautiful. We really enjoyed the fire place and short walk to the river. There was games for us and our toddler, space for our dog to stretch his legs and play outside. Well stocked, bright kitchen with bonus snacks and a thoughtful welcome basket with wine and bread starter to make your own homemade loaf! Close to Strathcona and the beach. We didn’t want for anything. A special place to stay.

Riverside retreat
A lovely, contemporary cabin — off the beaten track — with peace, quiet, and a chorus of frogs serenading you from the nearby riverside wetland every night. Recommended when you want to unplug, retreat and relax in style.

Frog songs
Beautiful sunny and quiet location to rest and recover from life’s hectic pace. So nice to cozy up by the fire on the cool nights and fall asleep to the nearby marsh filled with frog song. All the comforts

So much fun!
We really enjoyed a relaxing stay at the cabin. Karen has thought of every detail to make your visit exceptional, we appreciated all the little touches. We woke to the sun and birds chirping, had coffee on the deck, cooled off in the river, explored the river trail, grilled, played games and explored all the nearby towns. Thank you, Karen!
