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).

Great friends' weekend in the cabin
I had a great stay at the log cabin with two friends visiting from other provinces and my dog. We were thrilled to find a pet-friendly rental! Beds were comfy and warm and the setting is idyllic with the tree views and sounds of running creeks. The wood stove was awesome for nightly fires and roasting marshmallows, and the kayaks/canoe were fun to frolic at high tide. The hot tub was a nice way to warm up, too. Note the third bedroom (accessed through another one) has sloped ceilings and a lower bed, so it is ideal and fun for children as the description says but may not meet your needs. Jennifer was excellent to communicate with during out stay and answered a couple questions I had right away. Thanks for the get-away, happy to know about this place!

Log Cabin Dream!
We absolutely loved the cabin. It was the perfect spot for our girls weekend. The beds were super comfortable and we loved having a big table to play games on. We used the hot tub each night (which was a major selling feature) but found that it was luke warm at best - heat was capped at 97. Definitely wish the heat could be turned up especially since it was January. Otherwise - we do think we would visit again!

Little Slice of Heaven
An absolutely beautiful spot to stay, tucked off the main drag located in the perfect middle ground spot. Not far from anything and so many things to do right out the door step. If you are an outdoorsy person, this is the perfect place for you. Looking for a cozy stay in a cabin, this is the perfect place for you.

Loved it!
Such a beautiful property! We felt so cosy there we really didn’t want to leave! The hot tub isn’t super warm and there are none of the usual amenities (shampoo, body wash etc) would also be nice to keep come condiments in the fridge for guests to use too. Everything was super clean and we’d definitely love to come back! Thank you for a perfect getaway!

Can’t say enough good about this place! It’s honestly fabulous. The only thing that could have been better is an 11am check out. 10am is really difficult, especially with the cleaning and such. We would all highly recommend this place 😊

Awesome old cabin with dock
Cabin was spacious, large porch overlooking inlet, private stairs to dock with boats, inlet was dry when tide was low and swimmable at about 2m when tide was high. Warm-ish water in July for the area. Dog ran off leash and made friends with neighbouring dog. Kids loved the water activities. Mosquitos outside at night, not really during the day.

The Log Cabin
Overall we enjoyed the property and the tranquility of the area. It was great to have access to kayaks. The cabin is rustic. One very small shower for a house full of people would be an issue. Also dishes were limited (3 soups spoons!) and a coffee maker that only makes 2 mugs at a time! Watered down liquid hand soap only. Nothing for the shower. Pans for cooking were greasy but nothing to scour them with. Some expired food stuffs in the cupboards.

Rustic but nice
Great deck, could be a little cleaner in and out. 134 steps to the dock. . Could use a gate on the deck entrance and a railing for the gaps at the hot tub. Good hiking close by. I would consider returning for another stay.

We lived in the area for 15 years so it was convenient for us. Grass out front was long and gutters and roof could use a good cleaning. Interior was fine. Loved it. This was our 2nd time here and we look forward to returning.

Don't think, just book it.
Absolutely delightful property. A real old style log cabin with lots of character, topped off with modern touches and lots of wildlife. We made great use of the provided kayaks, catching both high tides everyday. We were greeted by two inquisitive seals who popped up, and came closer and closer as we paddled the fjord. Lots of geese paddling around, and a pair with goslings in tow. One day there was also a bald eagle just chilling on the side in someone's garden. Everynight we fired up the BBQ, had delicious food then relaxed in the hot tub. Wish we could have had more time as there are lots of beautiful areas to explore and hikes that we wanted to do but only got a small amount done. 10/10

Peaceful log cabin
Cabin had everything we needed and was a nice peaceful. Was clean and host responded to any questions we had. Fireplace was a nice added feature. Only think were a little disappointed in was the location. We thought it was right on half moon bay but it was only on a inletcreek close by and as a result the dock wasnt in water during our visit so we didnt get the opportunity to do any thing on the water. Otherwise property was a nice rustic cabin in the woods.
