Cosy, well equipped forest retreat

We loved our stay in beautiful Tofino. Built and beautifully maintained by its owners (who live next door), it is perfectly located, just on the edge of Tofino. Wonderfully quiet, you are surrounded by trees but very close to beaches. A short (2 min) walk away is a well equipped store and a lovey local cafe with excellent home bakes. We would have loved to stay longer!

Perfect!

Forest Edge Cottage is absolutely lovely - quiet and peaceful. It has little touches that make it feel like you are staying in a friend’s house rather than a rental property. The kitchen has everything you need. I would definitely stay here again.

Cosy Home Away from Home

A well-located cozy cottage near a few beaches, a short drive or bike ride away from Tofino and not to far from Pacific Rim National Park. There's even a coffee shop, Tofitian café, a few minutes walk away! It was a perfect place to call home while we explored the many trails, beaches and even Ucluelet for a day. We would definitely stay here again when we make our way back to Tofino.

Totally Terrific Tofino

Would highly recommend the Forest Edge Cottage to anyone looking for a Tofino stay. The property is extremely clean and well stocked. We appreciated the outdoor fire pit and BBQ. A short walk to the world famous Tacofino food truck and the 5 star Chesterman Beach! Will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic suite and location!

Amazing new suite with everything you could need. Great location within walking distance to Chesterman and Mackenzie beaches, and Tacofino, coffee, Wildside Grill, and bike rentals. Impeccably equipped with everything you could need and so clean. Very quiet location 5 min drive from downtown. Beds were beyond comfortable. Super nice owners a couple houses down. 10/10 would not hesitate to stay there again!
