Willowbrae Chalet-Sophisticated Forest-Hot Tub
WILLOWBRAE CHALET at Florencia Bay Retreat is a quaint rustic cottage, privately located on a 2.4 acre old growth forested property bordering Pacific Rim National Park, within walking distance of Florencia Bay and Halfmoon via the Willowbrae Trail. This is a place to unplug and reconnect with nature and decompress from the busyness of life.
Custom designed and beautifully handcrafted, Willowbrae Chalet is a warm and inviting West Coast escape featuring dramatic flared cedar log accents inside and out. Inside, a stunning handcrafted log staircase leads upstairs to a spacious loft bedroom with a king bed, as well as a queen bedroom with an ensuite. Please note these two upstairs sleeping areas are connected by a shared entryway. The upstairs ensuite includes a stand-up shower and a charming clawfoot tub — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
Downstairs, the chalet offers an open-concept layout with a recently updated kitchen, booth seating for family meals, and a cozy living room featuring a propane fireplace and vintage smart speaker for ambient music on colder evenings. The sofa also folds out to sleep an additional 1–2 guests. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is located just off the kitchen.
Step outside onto your large private deck, tucked into the old-growth forest, where you’ll find a covered hot tub, outdoor dining table, and a BBQ for the grill masters at heart. With forest views from every room, this chalet is the perfect retreat for couples, families, or small groups looking to unwind in nature. Important Notes Before You Book Upstairs bathroom and bedroom access: To reach the upstairs bathroom and second bedroom, you must walk through the queen bedroom loft space.

This was a private area and we were able to enjoy the hot tub :-) The unit had everything that was necessary with some nice touches.

Beautiful, fully appointed yet rustic chalet
Lots of room in this beautifully-constructed log chalet for two couples and two medium-sized dogs. Kitchen fully appointed - it's easy to make meals and to eat comfortably at the large table. Two bathrooms mean there's no need to wait in line. The hot tub is well-maintained and ready to go when you come back from your hike to Florencia Bay, or along the other beaches in the area.
My family and I had a wonderful stay in Willowbrae cabin. The property was beautiful, and the cabin was so comfortable and cozy. Would definitely book here again!
Great stay and beautiful location. The hot tub was perfect after a day at the beach. Very peaceful location and private. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and super responsive hosts.
Loved the cabin! Everything was so clean and cozy.. from the fireplace to the yummy scented local products to the soft sheets. It was perfect for our weekend getaway.
We really enjoyed a relaxing stay in the chalet. The hot tub is definitely worth it in the winter. There are all the amenities to cook some nice meals which was very appreciated.
The property and location was as described and accurate to the pictures. We had an amazing time in this tucked away chalet among the forest in Ucluelet. Would definitely recommend this place and would visit again!
Clean and well maintained. Hot tub is a big plus. Nice quiet location and easy to access just off highway near Ucluelet. About 40min from Tofino. Relaxing stay.

Great Cabin Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The setting was peaceful and surrounded by nature, which made it the perfect escape from everyday life.
We loved relaxing on the porch, having a morning hot tub, and exploring the nearby beaches. The hosts were friendly and helpful, making our stay easy and stress-free.
Overall, a great place to unwind—we’d definitely come back!
This space was beautifully maintained and the perfect getaway for my friends and I. The property management was excellent at checking in and seeing if we needed anything which I really appreciated. Overall, an excellent experience and highly recommended.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. Everything was as listed. The property is stunning and in a great location. Managers were easy to get hold of if we had any questions.Thanks again
It was a very cozy and clean stay. Beautiful surroundings, lovely soaps , everything was clean and welcoming. The fold out couch was nice and comfortable for our one son to sleep on. Would go back in a heart beat and i hope we can one day!
Everything about this place was lovely. Easy check in, with the property manager checking in on us a few times during our stay to would make sure we had everything we needed. They had lovely Saltspring soap works products for your use during they stay and some local coffee for us to enjoy. Highly recommend this place and will be staying here again. The only thing that some might be bothered by is the low water pressure but it wasn’t a problem for us.
Way better than I was even expecting, all my friends were so thankful I found this place! It was cozy, clean, comfortable, and we had a fantastic time. I especially enjoyed having a soak in the upstairs tub and we were all thankful for the private hot tub in the back!
The accommodation was absolutely lovely, great location and had all the amenities needed for a quick stay! Super cozy and the hot tub is just a great plus! It is a log cabin so I understand it's rustic but there were a decent amount of cobwebs on the ceiling. Otherwise still an awesome stay!! Would come again!

MY FAVOURITE ISLAND GETAWAY
Florencia Bay Resort has become my home away from home when I come to Tofino/Ucluelet. I have now stayed in both the Halfmoon Bay Cottage and Willowbrae Chalet and I couldn't speak enough about how beautiful they both are, attention to detail in the cabins is HUGE and everyone is so sweet and kind before, during and after my stays. I have dogs and it was crucial to find a pet friendly cabin where my fur babies could curl up in front of the fire and relax but still be a drive or walk away from the ocean. If you want a relaxing stay in one of the most beautiful places on earth Florencia Bay Resort is your one stop shop!
My wife and I were so impressed with this place! Very private. All cabins in the woods enough that you see no one else. Very close walking distance to amazing. Nice hottub for evevnings. What is not to love! 100% we will be back here.
We really enjoyed our time in the cottage. Everything was super clean, the terrace with the whirlpool is a dream and the whole apartment is furnished to a very high standard. The directions and access to the house via a code are very easy and we were welcomed with a friendly personal letter and a delicious greeting. We also really liked the fact that we could do two trails from the hut to the beach. We can only recommend this house and even with three children it was pure relaxation. Thank you.

A Slice of Paradise
Thank you so much for an amazing stay! WillowBrae was clean, well equipped and had high quality amenities. The small touches didn't go unnoticed and really appreciated.
This property is in an excellent location with amazing beach access to Florencia Bay within an easy 10min walk.
The whole property is quite, private and even with other guests in the other cabins truly feels like you're the only one onsite.
The stand out amongst this all was the amazing customer service - from booking, all the way through departure I was impressed with the personalized service and ease to be able to contact the Tofino Vacation Rentals team if I had any questions. This kind of top notch service makes me confident in booking any properties you manage!
Thank you again and can't wait to be back again soon.
