About this property

Dream by the fireplace in our lovely log home!

This is a 1 bedroom authentic log cabin. Our log cabin has been newly outfitted with modern furniture, dishes, pots and pans, BBQ and appliances. The bedding that I have chosen to use is made in Canada. There is a cozy fireplace in the corner, and we supply you wood and kindling for your fires.
We start you off with fresh ground organic coffee from a local coffee company, fresh organic cream, organic apples and oranges, organic popcorn, assorted teas, hot chocolate, fresh flowers, and a little candy.

Perfect for Christmas!

We stayed at Margareta beautiful lig cabin over Christmas. It was perfect. The cabin is charming, with everything required for a great stay. The bed is very comfy. Margaret was thoughtful enough to decorate for Christmas so we even had a lovely little tree to put our gifts under. There were a lot of greatly appreciated extras including cream, teas/coffee, chocolate and fruit. On top of that we received an Xmas gift! Like I said.....absolutely perfect for our Christmas celebrations!

Relaxing stay

The property is as advertised. Well equipped with everything you will need. Property is well cared for and very clean. A welcome basket with organic coffee, chocolate and fruit greeted our arrival and was a nice touch. As others have indicated there are a lot of rabbits on the grounds, thankfully our golden retriever was not interested. The cabin is located a short drive from Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. Great stay, would definitely stay here again.

Romantic Getaway

We opened the door and it met more than out needs. Couple things broken but didn't notice those until the end. Having the quiet solitaire space was nice. Hanging with the bunnies and deer and cats and dogs was like being at home. As we entered the driveway to property we were rather shocked that it was a trailer park. We closed our curtains to that horrible mess. Manager was great. Hope you liked the flowers we left for you.

Exceptionally clean/quiet

Short drive from Parksville in a quiet location. Englishman River Falls/park was a nice and close hiking trail. Fruit basket/fresh cut flowers/popcorn and treats were a nice touch. The kids loved feeding all the wild bunnies running around!

Nice restful stay

Really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Had not realized it was located in a campground until we got there but that made no difference in the end. Cabin is very well appointed: particularly liked the kitchen set-up, bravo), extra bedding, access to wood/kindling, and presence of wildlife on the property. Host was extremely kind and responsive. Thank You!

A little slice of heaven

This property is exactly as described. It is super convenient to Englishman River Falls, which we were after. Communication with Margaret was spot on and there was flexibility with a date change at the beginning. The place was SO clean and welcoming. The furnishing and kitchen ware were well appointed. There were fresh flowers, chocolate bars (good chocolate I might add!), bananas, oranges and organic cream. Yum. The wood burning fire place was amazing. Every time I went to find something (like tinfoil) it was there! We didn't have much (or any at times) cell reception so keep that in mind. There is wifi but it was probably shared so not super strong but good enough for our needs. The couch in the living room made into a bed and our adult son said it was definitely comfy enough for him and probably better than what we've run into in the past! The folks on the property are friendly. It is dog friendly but be aware that there are LOTS of bunnies. I'd stay here again in a heart beat. Thanks Margaret!
