ABOUT ARBUTUS COVE RETREAT Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape. Our four fully contained, private suites (Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka and Heron) are perfectly located between Powell River and Lund, about 15 minutes from each. Explore kayaking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing and hiking, or wander beaches, visit breweries and browse artisan markets. Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna, or gather at the beach fire pit.

The beach is pebbly and rocky, so bring water shoes if you plan to swim.

GETTING HERE Powell River is on the mainland but isn't connected to the provincial road network, so driving from Vancouver takes two ferries: Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. In summer, reserve the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale sailing; reservations aren't available on the Earls Cove to Saltery Bay leg.
By air: Pacific Coastal Airlines flies from Vancouver airport, and Harbour Air flies from downtown Vancouver to Powell Lake. The Harbour Air dock is next to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, where you check in, about 10 minutes from Powell River's city centre.

Ocean front retreat was a wonderful memory for us to stay. Enjoyed every corner of the vacation home. The hot tube was easy to access, a lot of mosquitoes around 9pm, if you can, book a bit early. Sunset on the beach was beautiful.
The curtain fail off on the 2 rd day when we are cooking, reported to landlord, she was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
We had a brilliant time!!! We had salt water hot tubs, ocean dips, walks, cozy fires, spectacular views and sunsets, and first class accommodations!!! We would highly recommend staying here - it’s absolutely marvellous!!!
The property was amazing, kitchen very well outfitted with coffee, spices etc.! Very clean and lovely view across the inlet! Highly reccommended for an unforgettable retreat!
We had a great stay for an annual bike weekend at Jenny and Sean’s place. They were fantastic hosts and were very prompt with any enquiries. We would love to return one day!!

Stunning waterfront view! The hosts are super friendly (and Oliver) and helpful !
No whales but tremendous views of water and Mountains
Spent a great week discovering the Powell River area and the myriad hikes available - from the easy to challenging. Wonderful wildlife viewing in some locations and quiet all around! Would certainly like to come back and spend more time in the area, especially the Desolation Sound area!
Absolutely wonderful place. I would give it 10 stars instead of 5 if that were an option. My group booked the entire compound, 20 people, for a family reunion, and it was magic. Everything about the place was perfect!
Everything at this location was amazing both Sean and Jenny have been the best hosts... fantastic communication and a wonderful location and place. We - again are super satisfied with this host and vrbo. Thank you
