About this property

Architect designed cabin in the woods, Pender Island

We invite you to relax and enjoy our beautiful, peaceful retreat nestled in five private acres on South Pender Island. The property is sunny and warm with ocean glimpses from the cottage, deck and bathtub. The open concept cottage includes a spacious full height sleeping loft, fully outfitted kitchen with granite counter tops, bathroom with walk-in shower, and outdoor bathtub. The eclectic furniture consists of an antique industrial table and stools, modern sofa and ottomans, and a comfortable queen bed. The cottage, completed in 2013, is close to hiking trails, beaches, Poet's Cove Resort and Port Browning Marina. We try to reduce our environmental footprint through the use of environmentally friendly cleaning and bath products. Please note that pets are not allowed on furniture or the bed. Completion of construction on Canal Road is due to commence March 2023 and hopefully be completed by June. It is unclear at this time whether there will be road closures associated with the 2025 construction.

Beach/hiking venture
We loved our stay at this little cabin! It was perfectly set up for 2 people and had everything we needed in regards to cooking utensils. We lucked out with getting a storm the first night and were able to view it from the large windows, we also loved hearing the rain on the tin roof. We loved the easy access to nearby hiking trails and beach access points.Would stay here again.

Amazing getaway spot!
We had a great stay at this cozy cabin. Loved the setup of the property, especially the outdoor bathtub and loft-style bedroom! The property was very clean and fully equipped with everything we needed and more (Bluetooth speaker, BBQ, Woodstove, etc.) Hosts were super helpful and easy to communicate with! Glad we stayed, and hope to be back for sure!

Very comfortable and lovely space!
We had a great time. The outdoor bathtub is so wonderful and we loved the set up in the cabin. Hosts were extremely lovely and so easy to communicate. They even brought us coffee beans when we didn't have any. So very kind. The only thing we found was that the dpace didnt feel as rustic as we'd hoped, but absolutely to each their own! The space was tastefully decorated. Im slightly biased in that I'm really not a fan of mid-century modern design, so didnt love the furniture and decor, and would have loved to have a cozy spot to sit right by the fireplace. But thats me being picky. Overall, we had an incredible time!

Solitude and Quiet
This was the perfect spot for us and our dog. So quiet! The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The surroundings were beautiful. We couldn't use the outdoor tub because the temperatures were near freezing. Several restaurants and shops were closed this time of year but Pender Island has many wonderful hikes that we explored. A very relaxing getaway.

Disappointed
There were no extra clean sheets in the bnb the bead was made with only a quilt no top sheet witch felts a bit dirty. When I asked for more sheets I was asked to turn up the heat. The road closure is out of the hosts control forsure however at time of booking it would have been nice to know this would be an issues for us as we were on the island for a wedding and needed better access to our accommodation over all just found the whole experience to be disappointing

Short break to experience Gulf Islands
The property was rustic and quiet. Furnishings comfortable, outdoor bath tube quaint but weather was too cold in October to enjoy the concept of a bath in the woods.

Foxglove
We would go again. Inside it was clean, with comfortable furniture. Kitchen and other equipment was excellent, even providing olive oil and balsamic vinegar. There were some interesting pictures and other bits and pieces. The bath outside is definitely a summer thing although it allowed my husband to wash off the effects of some stinging nettles that ch he encountered on a hike.

MAGICAL!!!
Everything at Foxglove was dreamy. Amazing airy design and decor, uber comfy and such loving attention to detail. Thank you Sandra for a wonderful stay. I am sad to leave. The bed and linens made for the best sleeps. Tranquility and beauty abounds. I soaked for 3 hours in that incredible tub. Highly recommend! Super hosts!

Pender Island Magic
We have stayed here several times and it was a joy to be back! The cabin is full of thoughtful touches, including cooking essentials, fresh flowers in a vase on the deck, and lovely soaps and bath salts! Pender Island is so welcoming, and we enjoyed the local farmer's market and visited the winery and cidery and were delighted with all. Sandra is a wonderful host, and we are always appreciative to have the chance to travel with our dog. Highly recommend this place!

Idyllic getaway
Foxglove cabin was absolutely heavenly. We read, we slept, we took outdoor baths, we enjoyed having a nice bluetooth speaker, we went to the farmers' market, we took our dog on a hike up Mt. Norman, we spent as much time as possible at the Magic Lake swimming hole... Thank you for being a great place to land in Pender!

The cottage is small but has absolutely everything you need. The bathroom makes the experience unforgettable. The hosts provide wood, cookware, extra blankets. The bed was very comfortable and the wifi is very fast so we could stream movies at night.

We have stayed at the cabin twice and both times were magical. Waking up in the morning to the view of the ocean and trees as well as the bathtub on the deck and the wood stove were all highlights of our stay.
