Houten huisjes in Ruby Lake

My family of four stayed at Nyna's to attend a wedding over the Labour Day long weekend and enjoy some relaxation time at Rathtrevor Beach. The cabin had an absolutely perfect location for our purposes. It is an easy 20-minute walk to the beach, but we also drove to Rathtrevor whenever the kids insisted on bringing an excessive number of toys to play in the sand. The cabin itself was exactly as described and pictured. We were not entirely sure of our check-in time due to needing to pick up supplies on our way to the cabin, but Nyna still stuck around to welcome us in person upon our arrival and give us a personal tour of the place. She was an extremely responsive and helpful host. We would highly recommend her place to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Thank you, Nyna!

What a lovely stay! The accomodations were very clean and well appointed, and I loved all the windows! The farm animals were delightful, the goats would greet me every time I went outside (waiting for carrots of course!). Lots of sun for most of the day, it was so nice to sit outside on the deck in the sunshine watching the animals. And the hottub was very relaxing and private. I would definitely recommend a stay here!

Judy’s cabin was a great place to stay. Clean, comfortable and great location. It was spacious for our family. It’s right across from the pool/gym, a short walk to mini golf and the beach. Judy was very attentive and responded quickly to messages. Thank you Judy! We look forward to staying again 😊

Gayle and Lee were amazing hosts!! We were greeted by the hosts at check-in and they had already set-up for us the woodstove fire place. The room was immaculate, with a comfortable bed and spotless floors. What really stood out to us was all of the personal touches from the freshly baked sourdough bread with butter and jam to a folder full of recommendations to build your own personalized itinerary. Unfortunately on the night of check-in my partner got the stomach flu. We informed the hosts and they leaped into action to help us in every way possible. They provided us with medication and disinfection to prevent myself from getting sick as well. They also graciously offered us an extra complimentary night for my partner to rest. We can't wait to come back!!

We loved our stay at Willo's Woodsy Dream Cabin in Madeira Park. Its exactly what you would want a cabin in the woods to be, it was old and rustic but didn't seem outdated at all. All appliances were functioning and beds were comfy. There are a few neighbours within close proximity but it still felt very private. There were a couple little restaurants and a grocery/liquor store is nearby. 15mins to walk, or faster to drive of course. The hot tub was fantastic. Would definitely stay again!

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

Breathtaking views from this one-of-a-kind treetop Airbnb! We had an exceptional stay—cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials. The hot tub overlooking the moss-covered hills, forest, and water was a true highlight. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the space was spotless. The hosts struck the perfect balance of being warm and welcoming while also respecting our privacy. They were also extremely accomodating with a couple of our last minute requests! The staircase climb is definitely real, but we didn't mind the workout! Highly recommend this magical spot for a memorable getaway

spent two nights here - douglas place was very serene. quiet and peaceful. the beach is about 40 mins walk through the forest. make sure you book the hot tub was well worth it :) douglas and kate are stellar hosts - super responsive friendly but also knows to give you space to relax. great spirits thank you - we will be back for that future sauna ;)

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!

We had such a lovely stay at Raquel’s place! Raquel was super responsive and easy to communicate with—she gave us lots of helpful info about the area, and when we ran out of pancake mix, she even brought us a new bag (so thoughtful!). The place itself is really cute and peaceful, with cows nearby and a sweet big black cat we got to meet. It’s in a great location too—right off the main road and just a minute away from a cider place we really enjoyed. The room was spotless and well equipped. We appreciated the selection of teas, the automatic coffee machine, and even dog biscuits—it’s clear a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome. There were a few harmless ants here and there, but honestly nothing to complain about. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Brian and Shannon are some of the best hosts I've ever met. They have exceptional hospitality, are super cool and are realizing such a stunning vision of their property. Hosting a pizza night was an unexpected treat and got to meet other guests. It is a slice of heaven. From the sauna and cold plunge to the hot tub and fire pit and bbq to the wonderful setting nestled in trees this place exceeded expectations. I biked from Vancouver with the Sunshine Coast connector for one cheat leg. It's not that hard to get to and loved having my bike to explore. Go to Emily's lake for a trail run. Also as a solo female traveller I felt very safe. Recommend and hope to be back.

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 absolutely loved our stay at this cute cabin. What a special spot! We enjoyed exploring the inlet with the canoe provided and exploring some of the local hikes. Be sure to try to the local Mexican Restaurant. We loved the seclusion and quiet this cabin provided with easy access to any groceries or other amenities we might need.

Absolutely lovely little gem. The A-frame was a perfect cozy place to stay. Alejandro was a great host and got me set up quickly. A cute little farm with chickens, goats and ducks! I can’t wait for my next stay!

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

Neo & Sky's place is a great small oasis in the Forrest, with lots of love for small details and cozy cabins. We had a great stay! The open kitchen concept and showers give it a natural touch, though I guess when it gets colder it could be more inconvenient. hence, perfect place for the summer months!

April 2025 Just spent 3 nights at the Cozy Cabin and it was amazing. So clean and tidy, peaceful and lovely location with easy walking access into Nancys Bakery, the Gallery and the Boardwalk restaurant. This truly is a gem to stay at. It was a pleasure talking to Simone as she gave lots of great advice for biking and restaurants.

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!

Patti & Corrine’s place was exactly what we were looking for. You have a wonderful view of the ocean through the trees. Though there are other houses around you, it felt very private. There cottage is surrounded by trees & open grass to walk around. Waking up & ending the day to the sounds of birds was beautiful. We even saw a fawn on the property. They do have two cats which we only saw once & they were very friendly. The beach is a 2 min walk down a quiet street. The cottage itself is my dream home. It’s simple but homey. We loved the personal decor & book selections about the area & wildlife. We slept with the windows open to let in the cool ocean air. In the mornings I stood in the living room watching the sunrise through the giant window. I could have moved into their cottage if it was allowed. It was perfect. Patti was also wonderful at giving suggestions of things to do & explaining the ins & outs of the cottage. I highly recommend staying here! You won’t regret it!

Took my parents here for a long weekend trip. Property was absolutely beautiful and was even nicer and bigger in person. The inside was very clean and all appliances were well maintained. Vlado was a great host and replied quickly to messages. Even when a small issue occurred (that was out of their control) he tried to solve the issue immediately and apologized for the inconvenience. Lovely place overall, would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing weekend at the cabin! Cheyenne was incredibly helpful, and we truly appreciated the flexibility. We highly recommend this beautiful location and can’t wait to return on our next visit to the Sunshine Coast. Thanks again!

This log cabin was amazing!!! We were shocked at how beautiful the cabin itself and the surrounding area was. Margaret was an incredible host— she was so kind and provided lots of blankets and coffee and snacks and wood for the fire place which was a nice treat. The cabin was super cozy and clean and had everything we needed. The bathroom and kitchen specifically were stocked which was very useful because we were coming from out of town without many things. The property was beautiful and we saw deer and lots of bunnies, and there are dozens of trails to check out within walking distance. Some of the prettiest sceneries I’ve ever seen!! Would definitely recommend this cabin, it was a lot nicer than it even looks in the photos :)

We loved our stay. Would reccomend this place. Lot's of thought has gone into what they have made available to guests with a good focus on trying to minimise the environmental impact. We had everything we needed and more (in fact some things we brought which aren't typically provided were already in the house). Hosts were very responsive and nice to deal with. Would stay here again.
