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.

Terrific log cabin location

We had a very nice time at Tranquility Woods. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the location was perfect. Lots of outdoor activities to keep busy in the Central Island area.

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!

Lovely Cabin in the Woods

Despite the fact that the Cabin is located in an RV park which was a surprise the Cabin was not disappointing. It was confortable and had everything we needed. Margaret is a wonderful host and extremely helpful. The location is close enough to where we wanted to explore while being away from traffic and noises of the city. We had a great time.

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!

Fantastic stay

We loved our stay in Margaret's cabin. The location is great, right next to Englishman Falls and a short drive to Parksville and the coast. The setting is quiet and tranquil. The boys loved feeding the bunnies and we had a visit from the fawn and an owl. The cabin itself is spotlessly clean. It is very spacious and the bed very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and the welcome pack lovely. Great coffee also. Margaret was very welcoming. Wish we could have stayed longer.

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.

Cozy Log Home in a peaceful natural surrounding

WOW!! My husband and I and our pups had an amazing time staying here over the Thanksgiving weekend. The log home is so cozy and beautiful inside and out and the many deer and bunnies are a wonderful addition to the property. Margaret and Sue were both very lovely and went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed and more! We are very much looking forward to returning for another amazing stay at this fantastic place in the future!

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!

Breakfast with Bunnies

What a beautiful log home! You can tell the owner takes great pride in their home as it is very clean, comfortable and full of super nice little touches. The property is very peaceful with frequent visits from the resident rabbits and deer. Far enough away to feel like you are really leaving the tourist areas but 15 min away from Parksville and Qualicum beaches for daily excursions, not to mention Englishmen River Falls which is about a kilometre away. Would definitely book here when our family visits the the island again. Thank you for an excellent experience and stay.

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.

The Good and the Bad

Lovely property, well maintained, warm and friendly property manager. We were not told that the log house was actually located within a camp ground/RV Park and unfortunately the main entrance for vehicles ran right adjacent to our unit. While the vehicles drove very slowly, some of them emitted deisel fumes and they did interrupt the quiet. Maintenance activities with chain saws and tree chippers were noisy and disappointing. Other than that it was great.

A nice quiet location

The location was nice and quiet and surrounded by nature. It was a bit far from where we wanted to travel to daily, but that is not a negative reflection of the property. A good location to relax at in all seasons.

Exactly what I wanted

I was looking for a quiet, well equipped location to vacation in Errington. This place was perfect! It had everything I needed; nice outdoor spaces to enjoy the trees and bunnies, and a comfortable interior. The bed was comfortable, the linens luxurious, and it was quiet! I will definitely book it again when I am in the area. Thanks Margaret.
