Oceanfront Cedar Suite • Hot Tub + Sauna • Pet Friendly

Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape.

Featuring four fully contained, private suites, Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka & Heron, it's perfectly located between Powell River & Lund. Explore kayaking, mountain biking & climbing, fishing, hiking, or wander beaches, visit breweries & browse artisan markets.

Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna (extra), or gather at the beach fire pit. A tranquil retreat to recharge and reconnect.

Welcome to the Cedar Suite, a fully private 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat on the lower level of our beachfront house.

With a full kitchen, inviting living spaces, and a fireplace for cozy storm-watching evenings, Cedar is ideal for couples or groups seeking comfort and tranquility.

Surrounded by 1.2 acres of lush greenery and offering beautiful ocean views with the mountains of Vancouver Island beyond, Cedar provides a serene base for your coastal escape.

📌 Please Note: The Cedar Suite is located below the Hemlock Suite in house #3935. While the building is well-insulated, some sound from above may be heard. We ask all guests to be mindful of noise to ensure a peaceful stay for everyone.

As your hosts, we’re available to ensure you have a comfortable and memorable stay. We respect your privacy but are always just a message away.

Guests enjoy full access to all of Arbutus Cove Retreat’s outdoor amenities.

Shared spaces include the beach area, sunset deck, BBQ pergola, and cozy fire pit.

The oceanfront hot tub is available by appointment, while our glass-panel sauna can be reserved as an optional add-on for $15/hour. Refresh with the outdoor shower and invigorating bucket splash, or take a rejuvenating plunge into the ocean.

We also provide a Level 2 EV charger (240V) for guests arriving with electric vehicles. To ensure availability, the charger must be reserved in advance through our website. A fee is applied when booking the EV charger.

Please note: advance booking via our website is required for the hot tub, sauna, and EV charger to guarantee availability, privacy, and a personalized experience.

We live on the property and available to offer any help when needed.

Parking is available on the property, in front of the suites.

Habour Air has started flying between downtown Vancouver and Powell River! Powell River dock is located on Powell Lake, adjacent to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, approximately 10-minute drive to the city-centre of Powell River. Check-in at the reception of the Shinglemill Pub and Bistro.

Our luxurious sauna is available as an optional add-on to your stay. To ensure a private and rejuvenating experience, we offer pre-booked sessions at an additional fee. Please inquire upon booking to reserve your preferred time

Although Powell River is on the mainland, it will require a couple of ferry rides (Horseshoe Bay to Langdale and Earl's Cove to Saltery Bay) to get to it because it is not directly linked with the rest of the provincial road network.

By Air: Pacific Coastal Airways & Habour Air

By Car / Ferry: BC Ferries

In the summer months it’s a good idea to make a ferry reservation from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. Reservations are not available on the 2nd leg, from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay.

If you’re planning on swimming is a good idea to bring water shoes.

Arbutus Cove Retreat is pet friendly, however, please note the property is not fenced in. A pet fee is charged, in order to cover additional charges for cleaning.

Incredible location and well designed property. It had everything you could imagine in the kitchen making it very easy to cook and hang out. The beds were very confortuand I liked the wood theme throughout, showing in the kitchen table, the bed backboards and even the shelving in the bathroom. The outdoor beach area was very cozy, although we spent most of our time on our patio looking out at the ocean. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

A great place to stay while exploring the area

Everything about the Cedar and Hemlock (our family stayed in both) suites was wonderful -close enough to Powell River, but located on the water, why leave? The suites have everything you would need -a well appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds, a great view of the Strait of Georgia and a beach bonfire site. Would definitely book with Sean and Jennifer again.

Lovely Arbutus Cove Retreat

Everything about our stay was top notch. The house is well appointed and we had everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was very well equipped as were the bathrooms and right down to a basket of wood for a fire in the wood stove. Highly recommend this property.

Everyone has a great stay- quiet spot for a get-away, and lots of space inside for the family to enjoy. Great host that helped with answering all of our questions. Added bonus- saw whales from the hot tub - who could ask for more?

Family Reunion

4 adult siblings and 2 young teenagers fit perfectly in this beautiful suite. Lots of room to lounge, cook, play games, etc. We were lucky enough to have perfect summer weather so spent most of the time on the beach. The hosts checked in often via text to ensure all was well, many thoughtful little touches that you never knew you needed but really appreciated having. Will absolutely stay there again!

Don’t hesitate to stay here. The suite is absolutely beautiful and stocked better than any vacation rental we have stayed at. The saltwater hot tub by the ocean was a bonus and we appreciated all of the different spaces to relax outside. Spectacular views topped it all off. We can’t wait for our next stay. Kudos to the owners for creating such an oasis!

Hockey Time with some R/R

We were in Powell River to attend my grandsons final minor hockey tournament (U18 Stars) and couldn’t have selected a better place to stay! Jenn & Sean were great hosts and our accommodations were the Best. With early morning rises and many trips back and forth to the rink, we felt right at home with the comfy beds, stunning views and everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. So grateful we had such a lovely place to unwind from the long days! Without a doubt would recommend ~ these Hosts care!
