Will definitely be coming back and telling everyone I know to go I wish I stayed longer Lisa the manager was beyond helpful Absolutely beautiful place and perfect location
The cabin we stayed at was pet friendly and clean, the views were amazing and the natural wild life was great, the hill leading to everything is very steep yet well worth it, we will be back!
My son and I stayed here to have a little adventure while we were in CB for a sports tournament. We really enjoyed the location and had an awesome sleep!
Cozy cabin in the woods, our dog didn’t want to leave. The bed was a double but we slept better in it than we did with some queen beds. The cabin can get warm for summer but we were able to create a good cross breeze by opening both windows and using the fan provided. It is a beautiful glamping experience. The compost toilet was the biggest adjustment for us. The ferry nearby can be a little noisy if sitting outside but hardly ever noticed it in the cabin. Unfortunately the trails and sauna were closed during our stay because of a province wide closure to prevent fires, so something to be aware of when planning timing of a trip (we were August). Sally’s was great about communicating this and we recognize it was a provincial mandate. This is a great spot if you want to feel like you are in nature but have something a step up from a tent. After we finished our Wast Coast trip we agreed Sally’s was one of the locations we would happily go back to stay.
