The location is amazing at Michel's Cabin. We had a stunning sunset our first night! There is a little pathway down to Chesterman beach so it is easy to grab a surfboard and get out on the water. It's also close to Tacofino and a nice little cafe called the Tofitian.The cabin itself is very rustic and gives total West Coast vibes. The only things we didn't enjoy about the cabin were the that the lights weren't very cozy (very white and not enough lighting throughout) and it was very cold when we got there. That wouldn't be such a problem except that the check in is at 4pm so the cabin didn't have time to warm up the first night. It was late November, so it would have been nice to have some heat already on when we got there. Sadly, the hot tub wasn't that clean and there were some hairs floating around from the previous renters. Also, the stairs inside the cabin are very steep, but not really an issue unless you have mobility issues.Overall, we had a good experience at Michel's cabin!

We enjoyed our time. It was very stormy which was a plus. The stairs into the cabin were difficult for me as I have MS. Very nice being so close to the beach.

My wife, two kids and I were in Nanaimo for a week for one of my lifting competitions and we really wanted a place for a few days to wind down with beach access before heading home. We highly recommend Michels Cabin. Michel worked very hard to not only build the cabin itself but also was so creative with the walkway down to the beach and the garden surrounding the house. The place was clean, had 4 beds and awesome views from the deck facing the ocean. Never had an issue during our stay and communication from the property managers via email ahead of time was great (check in process, traffic updates etc.) We will book here again when back in Tofino

Amazing stay, Michel has built this cosy home himself, and recycles everything he can find on the beach, while providing us surf planks for the kids.The location on the beach has one of the most wonderful views in the world

The place is great, charming and the view is amazing. Falling asleep with the sound of the ocean was wonderful. I would absolutely stay again. Only 8 minute drive to Tofino was very practical. My kids did not want to leave. L’endroit est parfait surtout pour une famille de quatre comme nous. La plage est magnifique et moins achalandée que Long beach. Nous avions l’impression d’avoir une plage privée.Thanks

One-of-a-kind cabin built by hand with a lot of character and charm. Absolutely idyllic spot. Very private and quiet and yet in the heart of everything — steps from the beach, and a short walk from coffee, baking, tacos, homemade ice cream, and surf rentals. Beautiful yard that’s been similarly tended with a lot of care. It was definitely at the upper limit of our budget, but we could not have asked for more.

Amazing

This place is a gem. The cabin itself has so much character and the grounds were beautiful and unique. The location was perfect. We rented bikes and didn’t even use our rental car for 2 days. Just a short bike ride to Tofino and even less to some restaurants and a small market. Only suggestion would be to clarify ahead of time that the cabin is attached to the owners house and the beach access is around the side of the owners house. Once we figured that out it was all perfect! Would definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Tofino!

Bliss on Chesterman Beach

Despite some torrential rain (it is early April and Vancouver Island after all), Michel's Cabin was a treat to experience. It's rustic charm suited us just fine -- so anyone looking for a Four Seasons type experience should pass on this spot. The big bonus is the view and direct connection to the waterfront -- we spent several sessions in what I dubbed "The Lifeguard Chair" taking in the panorama. Hoping to return again soon.

Beautiful View

I messaged the property management about any concerns and they got back to me right away. You cannot beat the view and being steps away from the ocean, on North Chesterman Beach. If guests are sleeping up in the attic during the wet and lower temps, put the heat on as soon as you arrive.
