Two-Bed Cabin – Breathtaking Fjord View at the Summit House.

The Cabin at Summit House is a private, self-contained, fully off-grid retreat — a quiet space to unwind and recharge. This stand-alone unit includes a king bedroom, a single bedroom, a three-piece bathroom, fireplace and an open-plan living and dining area. Outside, guests have their own private seating area and BBQ for relaxed outdoor dining.

Summit House sits on a 200-acre forested property overlooking the Saanich Inlet and Todd Gowland National Park across the Inlet, with over a kilometre of natural shoreline, a seasonal waterfall, nature hikes and regular sightings of local wildlife, including bald eagles.

Just 20 minutes from Victoria or Mill Bay, the property is close to the Malahat Skywalk, island wineries, and other outdoor destinations. It’s also a convenient base for exploring the Cowichan Valley, or a short ferry ride to Sidney for a day trip to the world-famous Butchart Gardens.

Guest access
Guests have full private use of the cabin. The main house is nearby, and the owners are on site should any assistance be needed.

Other things to note
Summit House offers a quiet setting for guests looking to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. To help preserve this environment, parties and unregistered guests are not permitted.

This was a very relaxing holiday. Quiet, peaceful, serene, and away from all the fast paced things in life. The view is absolutely stunning, and probably one of the best places for star gazing!

The property is gorgeous. Every detail is artful and well-designed. A real pleasure to see. It was also comfortable and fully equipped.The patio on the side looks out over the fjord, and on Sheila and Frank’s beautiful house. The setting is lovely. It had a good shower and a comfortable bed. Sheila is very friendly, and brought us homemade scones one morning. Frank brought us freshly picked berries. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Nice cabin on a private lot. Easy check-in and out process. Has a propane range which made meals-in very easy. Sheila the host was very sweet and accommodating, and was very helpful every step of the way, from booking to check-out. A great balcony to chill on, and a nice covered area too, for outdoors breakfasts.

A gem!

This property is beautiful and the hosts were exceptionally kind. Far enough from the highway so there are no traffic sounds to disturb the quiet. Bedroom was comfortable and roomy so sleeping was fantastic! I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in the cottage for a week while visiting friends and family in the area. Spectacular view rivalled only by the kindness and generosity of our hosts Sheila and Frank. We loved the space as it was quiet and cozy…a true getaway. Thanks for the great memories and new friendships. We’ll be back soon!

Amazing Stay!

Where do I even begin?! My husband and I had a wonderful (too!) few days at the Summit House Guest Cabin. The cabin had plenty of room and amenities, was perfectly decorated and immaculately clean. The property itself was absolutely stunning. While remote enough to feel like the only cabin on the island, it is close enough to anything you might need. The hosts, Sheila and Frank, were beyond lovely. They took the time to share the history of the property and their vision for it- which my husband and I loved every minute of. We didn’t want to leave! Going forward, any trip to BC will involve a stay here.
