Wind Down Log Cabin in the Woods with Cozy Woodstove & Shared Sauna | Cabin in Qualicum Beach
1 Bedroom Cabin in Regional District of Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach
The Wind Down is a hand-built creekside log cabin tucked beneath towering cedars and lush ferns — a cozy nature stay designed for one thing: to help you arrive, exhale, and truly wind down.
Set just off the Old Island Highway, it’s a convenient mid-Island base for exploring — minutes to the nearest beach and about 10 minutes to Qualicum Beach. It’s perfect as a stopover en-route to Tofino or the North Island, or for a longer, slower retreat in nature. Parksville and Coombs are an easy drive, with outdoor favourites like Spider Lake (~15 min), Cathedral Grove (~25 min), Horne Lake Caves (~25 min), and Mount Washington (~45 min) all within easy reach.
SHARED SAUNA EXPERIENCE
We’re so excited to share our new shared wood-fired sauna with you, complete with a change area and an outdoor cold water shower for the full hot/cold reset. If you plan to use it, you’ll need to be comfortable building and tending a fire as well as using an axe to prep kindling. Please be mindful of the one other cabin when sharing the sauna space. Wood-fired heat is unhurried — it`ll take a little time to get cozy. Further guidelines and safety notes will be shared before arrival and posted onsite.
THE CABIN
When we say “hand built,” we mean it. This cabin was crafted from the ground up by local islander Francis Provencal, who lives on the property across the creek with his family — from felling and milling timber to the cozy interior, doors, and finishing touches.
INSIDE YOU`LL FIND:
-Warm open living area with hand-peeled logs and gorgeous wide plank wood floors
-TV with Firestick (streaming) + DVD player and a large DVD collection
-Fully equipped kitchen with all cooking essentials, plus coffee & tea
-Small indoor dining table
-Spacious loft with two queen beds
-Queen sofa bed downstairs for extra sleeping space
-3-piece bathroom with a shower/tub combo
-Two decks (front + back), with a large back deck featuring an outdoor dining table for 6 and a propane BBQ (propane included)
WIFI & CELL SERVICE
Wi-Fi works great. Cell service is limited inside the cabin and works best outdoors — Wi-Fi calling is an easy solution.
PARKING & PRIVACY
Free designated parking is right outside the cabin. You’ll have plenty of privacy — your cabin sits beside just one other. The owners are nearby across the creek if anything comes up, but you likely won’t see them.
PETS
Well behaved pets are welcome. The rear deck is fenced, but the yard is not fully fenced, so pups should be well-behaved and supervised if off-leash. Please add pets to your reservation.
-Please let us know if you plan on bringing your pet by adding them to your reservation.
-If your dog is off leash, you must be outside with them.
