Peaceful place, great craftsmanship, and the views are incredible!!
we had a wonderful family visit at this property. The owners were very generous and efficient and gave us lots of privacy. There was a sauna, a hot tub and a view that was unbelievable. This property is very unique. It is well off the beaten path with easy access to swimming in fresh or salt, water and lots of hiking. We fish and ate out and most of all enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the view. This is not your standard property. There are many beautiful handcrafted details and a collection of artwork that is quite unique. Thank you for having us!

Charming and unique log cabin with wonderful view of mountains, lakes, the sound and Vancouver Island. Lack of adjacent houses make it seem like a totally private north woods experience (bear, deer, many Bald Eagles and one elk spotted from the deck), Would have liked a bathroom on the second floor for the two bedrooms that are not the master suite, as the only second floor bath is in the master suite and therefore unsuitable for others to use during sleeping hours. Hosts were pleasant and helpful. Not knowing the hosts lived on the property (separate cabin and not obtrusive), we were a little stressed about how we would check-in for a late evening arrival. Texting clarified the issue and no problem as it turned out.

Wonderful as always
This has always been one of our favourite spots on the Sunshine Coast, and now with the new barrel sauna and wood-fired hot tub it's even better! We had another wonderful stay appreciating the views and enjoying the property and its amenities. Dave and Katy were as always gracious and helpful hosts.

Amazing from start to finish. Great communication and the perfect mix of the owner being there for us and giving us space. The property is unbelievable and the views are even better than the pics. Hot tub and bbq are a great bonus too! Definitely stay here if you’re heading to the Sunshine Coast!

What a view! (And cozy, too.)
My nuclear and extended family - three generations, eight people in all - stayed here for two nights, using the house as a base for excursions in the region. The house is charismatic and charming, but the real winner is the location and the glorious view from the deck (and most rooms). Reserving and accessing the house was easy, too.

Amazing views and cozy hot-tub!
Not our first time staying at this wonderful cabin and certainly not the last one! We had the most relaxing and fun weekend: celebrating New Years, hiking Mount Daniel, soaking in the hot-tub, walking down the road to Garden Bay Lake, playing board games and cooking up a storm in the great open kitchen. Could not have asked for more and yet, it seems like there was an endless supply of incredible sunrises and sunsets then starry night skies, all enjoyed form the huge deck. We're so grateful to our hosts, Dave and Katy for welcoming us once again at their cabin. Happy New Year! Fanny

Incredible View, Beautiful Artwork, close to lakes and Garden Bay
Dave is a great host, he met us at the property and showed us around his beautiful home. The house is a short drive from lakes and the marinas at Garden Bay. The living room and house is filled with amazing NW artwork. Relaxing in the hot tub, or outdoor porch, and looking at the view is awesome.

We left 2017 behind and welcomed 2018 in this gorgeous log cabin!! And we enjoyed every second of it! No words can describe how wonderful our weekend was; from the warm and welcoming hosts Dave & Katy to the relaxing hot tub, everything truly was perfect! The views from the patio are straight out from a postcard! Thank you for opening your house to us:) Fanny

Beautiful, peaceful Getaway
Dave & Katy are such warm hosts and welcomed us to their beautiful home. This gorgeous log cabin is situated on top of a mountain and has the most spectacular views. It's extremely quiet and serene. The cabin is very spacious has a spectacular patio to enjoy the view. We had 3 kids aged 4 and under and thought it was great for them with lots of outdoor space. There were also lots of beautiful lakes close by to swim in. I would recommend Katherine Lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay here!

Gorgeous house and fantastic view
We just booked this for a weekend away, but we're already planning another trip here for a longer stay. This place is amazing, and the hosts are so friendly and accommodating. There's so much to do with all the nearby lakes and trails, but it is also a great place to just sit and relax.

pictures don't do the place justice
I say this not because the pictures are low quality, but because the setting is so unimaginably beautiful it almost can't be captured. Out-of-this-world views, beautiful home, gracious hosts. We LOVED it and can't wait to come back. I only wish we had had more time to explore the incredible surroundings. What a place!
