“This place is beautiful and so cozy. From the trees, fireplace and hot tub it is a perfect place to disconnect. If you are going to use the hot tub start early as it took me longer than expected to heat it up. Probably user error as I might have been able to get a hotter fire going so if this is new to you too plan ahead.” - by reviewer, Joshua

Best for: Modern forest vacation
This modern country cabin will keep you connected even when you are out in the woods. It is a five-minute drive away from Ucluelet and within walking distance of Pacific Rim National Park’s Half Moon and Florencia Bay trails.

French doors open to a shaded deck where you can grill barbecues or unwind in the bubbling hot tub. If you want something even more private, I think relaxing in the soaker tub indoors is also a great option. Eenjoy the lovely green scenery seen through the picture windows.
