Houten huisjes in Howe Sound

LOVED this gem of a retreat. I mean how can you not love a sauna, kayak, hot tub, fire pit, and a spacious cabin that overlooks port moody. I wish I could stay for a month! And so cool, you take a boat to get to the cabin. I’ve been telling everyone at my work about this place!

It’s our second time in the Band House, and we fell in love with the place even more. Garth and Jen are super friendly and accommodating. We reached out to inquire about availability and they were kind enough to open the dates for us, since we’ve been there before. The place itself is incredibly peaceful. Our dogs love it, and a morning walk around the property with a coffee in hand is exactly what you need if you want to get away from the stress of the city. We loved seeing Cooper (the dog) again too! What a super chill and friendly dog, even if ours were barking at poor Cooper. The hot tubs are a highlight too! We really want to make our visits more frequent, as I now consider this my happy place away from home. Can’t wait to get married there as well! Ask them about the option if you have the chance to visit.

Therese’s place is beautiful. So cozy as you can see in the pictures, the best view and always replying so quick! Thank you.

We were visiting family in squamish. My sister has a tiny apartment, so we wanted a place we could all stay together with our kids and our father. There was lots of room for everyone. This was such a beautiful location close to walking trails and even a fish hatchery! We used the sauna hot tub and cold plunge every night.

We had such a great time at Carraholly Retreat! The boat ride over was super easy, and the place itself was so cute and cozy. We loved the clean hot tub and spent a lot of time relaxing in the sauna - it was such a treat. Perfect spot for a quick getaway from the city. We’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape!

Michael's place was beautifully decorated with lots of space to relax and enjoy the wonderful views. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a great meal. Beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms, squeaky clean. We enjoyed the fireplace on the main floor (bring wood) and loved soaking in the hot tub, listening to the birdsong. Michael was easy to communicate with and quick to answer our questions. We would love to stay at the lodge again. Thanks Michael!

loved it! such a great nature getaway only steps from the city

This was our first time staying longer than one day in Canada. It was beautiful and peaceful, The Staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't have time to grab groceries our first night and they gave us some Pasta and Spaghetti. The hot tub was also very warm and relaxing. We will be back in the Summer to Kayak and swim for sure!

Wanda was an amazing host with one of the most beautiful and well kept properties we have seen. She was unbelievably accommodating and had the most lovely energy. We really enjoyed how spacious the cottage was, as well as all of the amenities — such as the well stocked kitchen and the thoughtful touches placed throughout the house. The gardens were extremely beautiful and she provided a propane tank for us when we decided to use the grill. We felt very welcome and loved the company of her dog dusty as well 💕 we would absolutely return for a serene getaway again!

Perfect cozy place. Brad shared the check-in instructions and address which were super helpful to locate the stay. If you are planning to drive at night then make sure to download offline maps and instructions. The washrooms well maintained. Note: this is not for people who are looking for spacious room. It can fit two suitcases and place to walk.

We had an amazing stay here! Super relaxing and well put together space. Has everything you need. Our dog loved watching out the big windows. Thank you!

Every time we come to Bowen, we always stop by Alderwood Farm for the food and goodies—so it was such a treat to finally stay in! The place was cozy, and it felt relaxing being surrounded by nature and the farm animals. Jenny’s homemade pie was amazing (for real, don’t miss out when you visit), and Jules and Saskia were wonderful hosts and easy to communicate with. Can’t wait to come back!

The cabin’s layout was thoughtfully designed, providing a perfect blend of comfort and views of nature. The place was very clean and welcoming. It was the ideal place to disconnect and truly take in the serene surroundings. The outdoor sauna was a highlight – it was phenomenal, offering a relaxing experience with stunning views of the river. Overall, it was peaceful and rejuvenating for my partner and I, and we recommend it for anyone looking to escape and enjoy some peace and quiet.

This was a cozy and quiet place to stay. The pictures don't do it justice as it is much cuter in person.

We absolutely loved this cute little cabin! Nice and private with everything we needed to enjoy our week on the Island. Our Host Mary was very helpful and checked on us via texts to make sure we were ok. We will definitely choose this place again when we come back! We highly recommend this place. Thanks Mary for everything!

Our stay was so relaxing& quiet, it was perfect. And waking up to a beautiful ocean and mountain view was inspiring and magical. I hope to go back time and time again.❤️

We had a wonderful stay and plan to return! The perfect place to rest and restore.

I had an amazing stay. If you’re looking for a genuine and cute glamping experience then this place is perfect. The property is lovely, the sites are private and the amenities make you feel like you’re camping in comfort. I loved the camping style with the foot pump water and propane stove, so make sure you’re up for it. I slept the nights with the frame open and had no issues with bugs, and got the chance to have a lovely campfire and hang with the local brown Hares. It was a great place to step away for a while:)

The place was maintained neat and clean. No Complaints. Most suitable for 6 members. Watch out on hot water, may not be enough if more than 6 members. Will be good if a microwave was provided. Overall Nice one.

Wonderful place and hosts. We immediately felt right at home, and the kids adored being on a farm and being able to go and hang out with the animals, also pick vegetables from the garden. The house has a wonderful homely feel, is very comfortable and incredibly well-equipped. We were only there for 2 nights, though it felt longer, but managed to explore a little - down to Roberts Memorial park and the headland, and a super farmers market at Cedar that runs on Sundays. All in all a fantastic stay, high recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay at Darren's place. The cottage is well equipped with everything you might need yet uncluttered and very cozy and peaceful. We enjoyed exploring the area with Ruby Lake and hiking trails close-by. Darren was a great host and quick to reply to any questions we had. Very highly recommended and we would definitely stay again.

I had a really lovely stay at Reishi, and it was exactly what I needed. The cabin was super comfortable and very well organized. It was quiet with big incredible old trees to look out at and be with. The little village and beach are nearby / walkable and they are very gracious and helpful hosts. Thanks very much!

One of my favorite places Ive stayed anywhere. So perfectly executed in every way. The Cabin was a jewel box from a architectural perspective and the view towards the water was mesmerizing. I would highly recommend staying here! Can’t wait to come back and stay at The Perch or The Shed!
