About this property

Your Private Riverfront Sanctuary: Unplug & Reconnect in the Sayward Valley

Ditch the city noise! Nestled on 3-acres in the heart of Vancouver Island’s wilderness, only 50 min North of Campbell River, our riverfront hideaway offers the ultimate escape from city life. Just a few hours from Victoria or Vancouver (via ferry), this rustic chic private retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, family and friends, and truly unwind.

Spend your days kayaking on the Salmon River, reading by the outdoor fireplace, hiking the trails, catch some fish for dinner and watching the sun set over the mountains. And don't forget to stay awake for some amazing stargazing! Whether you're ready to trade screens for streams, or a remote worker seeking creative focus, this rental is your home base for nature, comfort, and calm.

"A Lifetime of Reset.”
Sayward’s peaceful Salmon River is calling. Paddle in the mornings, read by the fire in the evenings, and fall asleep to the sound of water and wind. Our 3-night minimum means no rushing—just real rest.

Sayward's Kelsey Bay is a great place for fishing and sipping a Java at the Visitor Centre's Dock at the end of the road. Ask them anything you wish to know about the area.
🫎 Be aware: the Valley is Nature's Playground for humans, AND for animals

Minimum stay: 3 nights
Perfect for families, couples, friends, or even remote workers
