Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
If you’re looking for a true West Coast experience this is the cabin for you! Our rustic little cabin sleeps four comfortably and is nestled in a private, heavily forested two acre property on the edge of a ravine just steps from the Pacific Ocean. It offers privacy and easy access to beaches, surfing and hiking trails. You will love listening to the sound of the waves and the running water in the creek as you nap in the hammock or lay in bed in the cozy loft.

The space
This cabin has been priced to reflect the fact that it is the only dwelling on the property. Guests will have the entire 2 acre property to themselves unlike many of the other listings in the neighbourhood where there are more than one dwelling on a small property.

This cabin can comfortably accommodate 4 people but there is room for another person to sleep on the couch if desired (additional charges per person apply).

The cabin is perfect for couples, small families (with children over 12 years of age) or close friends. The 2nd floor sleeping loft has two queen beds but there is simply a curtain separating the beds rather than a full wall. Be prepared to get cozy with your friends & family as it is close quarters!

The property is adjacent to an intermediate trail down to the beach – just a short 5 minute hike. You don't have to cross any roads to access the trail - it is right next to the property!

Guest access
The key to the cabin is in a lockbox and guests check themselves in. You will have access to the entire property. We recommend that you drive your car up to the cabin to unload your bags and then park your car down by the shipping container so that when you are sitting on the porch or looking out the windows of the cabin you can look at the beautiful tall trees, sunlight in the ravine and the birds frolicking about rather than looking at your car.

Other things to note
There is limited cell phone coverage in the Jordan River area, so we suggest that all guests have directions to the cabin with them. There is no wifi or internet connectivity at our cabin – it offers an authentic, rustic experience! Take advantage and totally unplug from city life so that you can immerse yourself in the beauty that the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island offers.

This cabin does not have full plumbing. There is a large, new outhouse for a toilet and there is an outdoor (covered) sink and shower. Having a hot shower outdoors is one of our favourite thing to do at the cabin. You must be comfortable with an outhouse in order to enjoy your stay at this cabin.
You must take your garbage with you but we are happy to process your clean recyclables for you (paper, cardboard, tin, clean plastic & glass).
There is electric heat in the cabin as well as a wood stove for heating. The cabin is quite small so it heats up very quickly!

Jordan River has very few amenities so we recommend that you pick up any needed supplies from Sooke as you are passing through. There are no gas stations or grocery stores in Jordan River. There is a small café called “Cold Shoulder Café” in Jordan River which offers excellent coffee and home baked goods. For a gourmet meal there is the restaurant at “Point No Point Resort” (about a 10 minute drive back towards Sooke) and then a little farther (about 15 minutes back towards Sooke) there is “Shirley Delicious Café” which offers a lively café environment.

Also please note that while our cabin and the property offers ample privacy we do still have neighbours and ask that you respect their quiet enjoyment and keep your music and other noise to a reasonable level. Parties are not tolerated. Thank you.

This cabin is rustic. As mentioned above, you must be comfortable using an outhouse. The main method of cooking is on a BBQ. If you have never camped before this probably is NOT the cabin for you. If you enjoy privacy and consider yourself an outdoorsy type you will love our cabin! Thank you!
