About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Arbutus Cabin is situated amongst old growth fir and arbutus trees and is part of Quadra Island’s history. Despite a few improvements over the years, the cabin maintains its character reminiscent of its heritage. Relax on the large, covered deck and watch boats come and go all day or, lose yourself in a book in the over-sized chair in the reading nook.
You will love the spectacular sunsets over Vancouver Island and the parade of cruise ships sliding down Discovery Channel!
Come stay with us! The space This is an older cabin, which has character consistent with its years. We have taken steps to make sure it is safe, comfortable, clean and charming!
The “master bedroom” looks out over Q cove and has a queen sized bed with an Ende memory foam mattress. There is a tall chest of drawers for your clothing.
The second bedroom has a bunk bed also with memory foam mattresses. The room was set up for kids, but the beds can be used by adults.
Relax inside and still feel like you are interacting with nature all day long!
You have access to the whole cabin! Also, use of the yard, which includes the fire pit (when outdoor burning is allowed).
If you enjoy being in the move, there are many hiking trails, beaches and freshwater lakes to explore. Also, the fishing around Quadra Island is world class for salmon and ground fish!
We are excited to be your hosts!

Had a great stay at Q cove cabin. Loved the view over the harbour and the cosy fireplace and reading nook. The cabin was very clean and well equipped, and the host was very responsive and helpful.
This cabin is located 2 minutes drive from the ferry. It offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Nice, quiet property. Very good for relaxing during vacation time. Walking distance to the ferry, and shopping plaza.
Property was clean, and host responses were very quick.
Lovely views out the windows however the sliding door glass was foggy between panes The weather was cool so the wood burning stove was wonderful. Great walking areas.
Adorable heritage cottage that has family pride all over it! The cabin is quaint, cute and very well appointed with all that is needed for a home away from home. The care that goes into this older cabin is obvious. We were very comfortable and had complete privacy during our stay. Loved it and would certain recommend AND book again. Thanks for an amazing three day stay.
Lovely cottage, great view, spotless. The driveway is very steep and there are 4 stairs down to the front door. A brief how-to list on whotofind the firewood, hoe to use the fancy coffee machine and where the damper is on the wood stove would be useful 🤔😊
Beautiful, cozy cabin right very close to village. Loved that my dog and I could walk to the cafe, restaurants and grocery store, and was so close to the ferry. The hosts recommended hikes were amazing! The wood-burning fireplace was especially a treat.
This delightful spot served us very well during our stay on Quadra Island. All the modern conveniences with a solid touch of away-from-it-all cabin vibes. Our hosts were generous with suggestions for island activities and very responsive to our messages.
We had a wonderful time. The weather was great and the view spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked. We would highly recommend this rental. We will be back.

Amazing views, Super clean, well appointed, there was nothing you wanted or needed. We can not wait to come back again. Great hosts. Highly recommend
This cabin is amazing! It’s obviously an older home but it has been updated in all of the most thoughtful ways. The beds and bedding are incredibly comfortable, the furnishings are beautiful and comfortable, the kitchen is huge and has everything you need to make a fabulous meal. The cabin is about a 10 minute walk to groceries and great pizza, and a 1-minute drive to the ferry but it still feels like you’re on a perfect island escape. And the view… holy smokes. We loved this cabin and you will too.
Charming old cottage, apparently one of the first homes built on Quadra Island. Loved the views of Quathiaski Cove, the ferry coming and going and the cruise ships out in Discovery Passage at night, all lit up! Enjoyed exploring the island, swimming in the clear, clean water of Village Bay Lake, and Rebecca Spit Provincial Park with its lovely beaches and views of the Discovery Islands, great place to settle into an afternoon of beach relaxation.The cottage was comfortable, well stocked with everything you could need.Easy ferry ride over to Campbell River as a walk-on, spend an afternoon over there.
