Oceanfront log cabin with sweeping ocean, mountain and sunset vistas

Our iconic 60's log Cabin is a year round getaway with all the modern conveniences and a unique country cabin feel on .9 acre lot. Tide pools and rocky beach in front of the Cabin. Swimming options in front or at near by pebble and sandy beaches.

Wrap-around sundeck complete with Webber BBQ, picnic bench, market umbrella and ample seating. Comfy furniture expansive views and large fireplace. Observe our resident feathered friends including bald eagles, herons, gulls, kingfishers, woodpeckers, chickadees and juncos.

A vista of majestic snow capped mountains, glittering sunlight and long magenta sunsets awaits you. Lapping waves, resident sea lions and wind soughing through fir, oak and arbutus trees provide you with nature’s lulling symphony.

A cozy haven to enjoy winter storms, just over an hour from Mount Washington, the Cabin’s living area includes vaulted ceiling, glowing wood beams, swivel mounted flat screen HD T.V. antique brick fireplace with thermostat controlled gas insert.

The Cabin delivers an authentic ambiance along with all the modern conveniences including three bedrooms (queen, queen and bunk bed), one bathroom (tub/shower) and a large living-dining-kitchen area with spectacular views.

From October through May you will see and hear sea lions passing close to shore daily. This is one of only a few properties on Vancouver Island with a southwest exposure.

The kitchen is well stocked and we ask that our VBRO guests kindly replace items that they deplete during their stay.

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac the property has a large level lawn with plenty of room for boccie, croquet, badminton, frisbee and more. The quite streets nearby are ideal for leisurely family walks to Beachcomber Park, Beachcomber Marina or around "The Point”.

If your preference is to enjoy all that Northwest Bay has to offer from the water, information regarding local kayak rentals and guided tours is available.

The Cabin is only 10 minutes from Fairwinds Golf Course and Marina.

The best cabin EVER!
We absolutely loved this cabin. The way it was decorated made it homey and the gas fireplace made it warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable. The cabin was stocked with all the cooking gear and other supplies that we needed. But our favorite thing was the view. From the deck in the warmth of the day or from the large window across from the sofa when it was a little chilly outside there were spectacular views of water, mountains, sunsets and wildlife - deer, seals and sea lions, and lots of birds, including a bald eagle who perched in a tree on the property for a while one morning. And yet it’s just a short drive to shops and restaurants if you need them. I’d definitely recommend this property.

Relaxing and easy with a breathtaking view
This place is just what you want when you say relaxing vacation.Had great weather and relaxed well in the cabin with everything you need at your fingertips. Comfy beds, easy kitchen and amazing scenery from all directions. Saw the pod of orcas again this year...soooo exciting along with lots of eagles in the tall trees. Played Bocci and Croquet for hours. And love eating dinner every night on the deck at the picnic table rail enjoying that view. We will be back next year. Thanks again!

Throughly enjoyable!
We had a wonderful week at this amazing vintage cabin! Coming from southern Ontario, we would call it a real 'cottage'. Everything is comfortable and quiet and relaxing! We went on a few hikes, played bocci and crochet, built a few puzzles and basked in the sun. We appreciated every single gorgeous sunset along with every other scene throughout the day as it shifted in the prevailing winds, from the huge windows and wrap around deck. We enjoyed all the wild life including a couple eagles swooping down to perch on trees right outside our window. We even got to watch a pod of majestic orcas 'blow' by! The whole place is extra clean, kitchen is fully stocked for cooking, the beds are comfortable and the fireplace is another added bonus. This cabin is very special and we highly recommend it.

Disappointing
The cabin was cluttered and had too many of the owners personal belongings. The night we arrived we were going to BBQ & the igniter on unit didn’t work. Texted owner and no matches or lighter on site, but there might be a battery somewhere to fix it. Cabin heated by a small heater and a fireplace. 2nd day fireplace quit. Could not get it going again despite trying everything owner’s cabin manual suggested as well as what owner suggested by text. Owner said it had happened before. It wa 6 deg. C outside and it was just too cold in tge cabin for us to stay. We left after 2 nights. Had a TV, but no channels or streaming services. No telephone. Owner did not even mention any kind of refund and we didn’t ask.

Lakeside cabin
The cabin was comfortable and had even more amenities than we needed. The tidal pools were great for exploring and learning and the wildlife sitings were a joy to see. Next time, I'll remember to wear socks or pants when walking in the long grass to save my ankles from the gnat bites. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Cabin
It's really the details. How beautifully the place is furnished, the friendliness and co operation of the Mann family/owners both add to the coziness. I love all the momentos of their travels around the world. Then Mother Nature takes over and delivers such a huge variety of wildlife right outside the door. Our status as 'visitors' is confirmed.

Most Amazing Place !
This is what a summer cottage should be like, warm, cozy, large deck, lots of seating areas, beautiful views, rocks to look under for the kids. The bonus is the deer that you see on the lawn and if you are quiet, they stay, the many eagles flying high above you, the sea lions barking away during the early evening and passing right by you. We loved this place and would book again. The view is absolutely amazing, you can sit for hours just looking at the water. Thank you Brian for letting us borrow your amazing cottage !

This was the perfect place to spend a week in the island. Perfectly maintained, great communication with owner, and a wildlife lover's dream! Deer, eagles, seals, sea lions, and even two Orcas were seen from the deck alone! Best view to just sit and enjoy.

The cabin is adorable, very clean and lovely. Everything one needs can be found. Even extras like extension cords, pots/pans, measuring cups, dishware. There is a stove, microwave, kettle, toaster that we utilized. We brought our own but lots of extras can be found in the cupboard/fridge (brown sugar, ketchup, jam, etc). There is dish soap, laundry soap, body wash, and hand soap available for use and directions where to find more.There is no dishwasher but with a breath taking view of eagles diving for fish i did not mind. My bed was very comfortable. Blankets cozy. Lots of nice pillows too. For those with noise sensitivity the wall heater is loud. Bring a sweater and slippers in March. One can sit on the deck and enjoy the beauty of the water and see and hear nature. Many birds including pileated woodpeckers, hummingbirds, ducks, gulls, dark eyed junco, and the song sparrow were enjoyed. The best was juvenile eagles dancing in the sky. Seals several times a day. We could hear sea lions. You can go down the rocks to get a closer look if you so choose. A bench on the property overlooking the water bit farther down, one of us, spent hours there. A short drive you can check out quaint places and there are lovely beaches with sand to visit. Serious Coffee has the best carrot cake but watch, they close at 4. For a family get together or quiet gathering with 2 friends like I did, The Cabin, is perfect. I can't wait to return.

Nanoose Bay Panabode
The panabode was well cared for and very clean. We immediately felt at home and could feel the memories made over the years. Brian was great to make himself available if needed. The view is spectacular and the abundance of sea lions, deers and other wildlife was always a welcome sight. We were lucky enough to see an Orca on our last day! Will definitely be back!
