About this property

The Enchanted Woods Waterfront Log Cabin at Secret Cove

•A gorgeous rustic 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom (sleeps 6) year-round waterfront log cabin in pristine Secret Cove. This private home sits on almost an acre of forested property. The forest and waterfront views can be enjoyed from the massive wraparound deck and hot tub. The Enchanted Woods Log Cabin has unparalleled views, a private 60 foot dock, a large wrap round deck, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, a *new* woodstove, an outdoor shower, a hot tub, 2 kayaks and a stand up paddleboard. The third bedroom is entered through the second bedroom, and is ideal for children but works for adults!
****VRBO has recently changed their rental quote system. Please ensure you have been quoted the correct currency and please note that the refundable damage deposit has likely been included in your quote. There is an additional guest fee for more than two guests. Please contact the owner with any questions.****
•The Enchanted Woods Log Cabin is best suited for families or small groups of friends who have a passion for nature and are looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat. Secret Cove is a tidal fjord with amazing bird watching, marine wildlife, kayaking, swimming, and hiking. The property includes a private dock and access to your 2 kayaks, as well as a hot tub and outdoor shower.
•The cabin is located 5 minutes (by car) from Homesite Creek Falls hiking trails, the historic Halfmoon Bay General Store, Upper Crust Café in Halfmoon Bay, Rockwater Resort (enjoy an amazing meal and couples massage!), Buccaneer Marina (with a local water taxi and boat rentals), Secret Cove Marina (featuring a floating general store and the Upper Deck floating restaurant in the summer), and the breathtaking Smuggler Cove Marine Provincial Park (accessible by both land and water). Buccaneer Bay Provincial Park (with pristine white sand beaches) is located on Thormanby Island and is accessible by either water taxi or kayak (weather permitting). Past guests have enjoyed activities as diverse as fishing, scuba diving, stand up paddleboarding, golf, mountain biking (Suncoaster Trail Network), caving (Homesite Limestone Cave Trails), cross country skiing/snowshoeing (Dakota Ridge Winter Recreation Area), and triathlon training (amazing local rides and ocean swims – the Sechelt Aquatic and Fitness Centre is only 30 minutes away by bike!)
•We are family-owned and operated: our property guidelines reflect these values. If you are looking for an amazing year-round oceanfront retreat in the heart of the Sunshine Coast, we look forward to having you stay with us!
*If the Log Cabin is already booked for the time in which you are interested, please see its sister property, the Enchanted Woods Cottage (VRBO 616475).

Cozy Cabin Stay - Perfect Getaway

My partner, our dachshund and I had a lovely stay at this cabin. The location is perfect - feels secluded while also being within a reasonable drive (20 mins or less) to shopping, dining and different points of interest. Loved using the hot tub outdoors and hanging out on the covered patio. At night we used the fireplace in the living room too. Definitely want to return in the future!

Romantic getaway

Had a great time at this cozy, rustic cabin. Enjoyed sitting by the indoor fire, playing some boardgames and listening to the rain with my partner. Would love to come back with some friends during the summer and take advantage of the water activities.

Beautiful log cabin

Even though the property was covered in snow, Jennifer arranged for a path to be cleared and we got to enjoy the cabin in a winter wonderland. It was extremely cozy and a beautiful spot. We will definitely come back during a warmer time so we could use the kayaks and explore!

A beautiful experience.

Our family of 5 had the most amazing weekend at Log Cabin. We were celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday and the cabin has everything we needed to have the most special experience. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, there was a bbq, the beds were comfortable, the sound of the water was calming, the hot tub was very clean, and it was overall a quiet weekend getaway. We will come back soon!

cozy weekend !

We had such a cozy stay at Jennifer's cabin! The weather was very stormy and we lost power but the cabin had flashlights, matches, fireplace, so we could stay warm. Jennifer was very responsive and helpful as I had a few questions. Tons of wonderful hikes, ocean spots and everything you need is close by in Sechelt.

Great location, wonderfully private

Great property and very pleasant accommodation for spring or fall visit. Found the third bedroom (which must be accessed through the second bedroom) a little airless and stuffy but the beds were all comfortable and everything (except a lightbulb or two) worked. Parking was a bit of a challenge for two vehicles but manageable with some care. Great selection of games for rainy days. Indoor woodstove was not functional which was a bit of a disappointment but, as the weather was mild it was not a big problem. All in all, we had a great time.

Okay

The location was good. The main concern for our group was the cleanliness of the cabin and the cleanliness of the water in the hot tub. The cabin felt a little neglected and could use some TLC and some proper lighting. The wood stove could not be used as it was missing the glass in the door. This is a suitable property with kids but not for 3 couples as the 3rd bedroom is a walk through to the 2nd bedroom. The steep stairs going down the steep cliff to the dock on the water is in need of repair as one of the top handrails broke off completely while ascending the stairs. Another handrail was also missing. There was no useable outdoor fire pit as advertised. The cabin is situated on an inlet and we made good use of the kayaks and canoe. It is a lovely spot.

Great solid big old log cabin with a dock and boats

We love the cabin, has a huge deck that gets a big mix of sun and shade and overlooks the inlet. Has a long steep staircase to a private dock with a canoe, some kayaks and a SUP for use, lots of life jackets, we swam of the dock when the tide was up (inlet drains when tide is down) - water warms as it fills the inlet so was a good ocean temperature for early July. Great stay w kids who like water. We will be back for sure!

Amazing stay at the log cabin

It was such a nice property. We went paddle boarding with seals in the afternoon and were blessed with the hot tub, hot outdoor shower and fire at night. Really nice space to spend time as it feels remote and private. The paddleboarding/ canoeing down by the water took the cake for us as it exceeded our expectations and really made for a great stay. The stairs are a burner but if you pack accordingly you just have to do them once. Good place to cook up big meals on the bbq and nice table where we can all eat together. Lots of towels provided and even a washer dryer as well. Thanks log cabin! We will be back
