Tucked away on our peaceful 10-acre property, The Cozy Cabin offers a relaxing country getaway surrounded by nature. Whether you are staying to relax and rejuvenate, to enjoy some good laughs with a friend, or to romance a loved one, The Cozy Cabin has a little something for everyone.

The Cozy Cabin is central to various hiking trails, sandy beaches, an abundance of nature appreciation, and borders Matheson Lake Park.

Drive or walk down to the lake to enjoy the spectacular scenery. As well as hiking, biking, trout fishing, canoeing/kayaking, and swimming. If you are looking to dine out MyChosen Café and MyChosen Pizza are only minutes away.

Just around the corner is Pedder Bay Marina, known for its world class fishing grounds. Enjoy a Starbucks coffee, alcoholic beverage and a bite to eat while watching the boats go by. Also offering power boat rentals, kayaking, and fishing charters if you're looking to spend time out on ocean.

The interior has that rustic West Coast feel with lots of wood features and accents. Accommodates four comfortably, with an open concept living area with pullout sectional couch and large bedroom with a king size bed. The space is completely furnished, has a fully equipped kitchen, full bath, and wood burning fireplace. Head outdoors where you will find the patio area, offering a private hot tub and outdoor shower, fire pit, seating area and BBQ.

The cell service is a little hit and miss but there is WIFI for you to link to. There is parking for multiple vehicles or trailer. We do allow smoking outdoors but have strict rules. There is no cable TV but there is a streaming device and movies.

During the summer (non-burning) season, guests are welcome to use our propane fire pit. We provide one propane tank at the start of your stay; however, we’re not able to provide unlimited propane. If you plan to use the fire pit frequently, additional propane can be obtained by exchanging the tank at the nearby corner store or by bringing your own.

We are pet friendly but ask that you respect our rules. There is an extra fee of $30/pet, ***please add this fee when booking. All pets have to be kept in close proximity (not free to roam) or on leash when outside. We ask that you use the shovel provided to flick into the bushes. We really dislike having to handle left behind bagged dog poop. **IMPORTANT- We ask all guests to ensure that they have trip cancellation and extended health coverage at the time of booking. Refund requests outside our cancellation policy for personal health reasons and unexpected weather events (that may cause road closures or other delays) such as: snow storms, flooding, forest fires, power outages, ferry cancellations, etc. will not be given. Thank you for understanding why we these cancellation policies in place for our small business.

We cannot begin to describe how beautiful the property was and the surroundings were so unique, with the old antique cars & trucks that were so much fun to look at when going for walks, and perfect setting for picture taking with daisies in full bloom. The hot tub was so relaxing after a day of site seeing, and the back yard is surrounded by trees, so you don't feel like you're in the open. Our hosts were so friendly, and we felt right at home. The cabin is very spacious and homey. Highly recommend staying there.

I stay here each year as a post holiday retreat. The cabin is spotless and super cozy. The hot tub is immaculate and very private, and access to the regional park and bike trails is second to none. This is one of my favourite VRBO to stay at.

We needed a place to stay after having water issues during a renovation at our home. The cozy cabin was just what we needed, it was close to home, accepted pets and was extremely comfortable and peaceful. We only spent 2 nights and honestly I wish it could have been more, needless to say we were so happy to have found it.
