Getaway Cottage in Roberts Creek: Relax by the Beach & Forest, Art studios...

Welcome to our 'Cedar & Sea Cottage' rental, nestled in the heart of an enchanting cedar forest and just a ten-minute walk from the beach. Immerse yourself in nature and experience the peace and tranquility this unique location offers.

The Space
Our two-story cottage's rustic Scandi charm will make you feel right at home. It's perfect for snuggling up with a good book or sharing a glass of wine with friends. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

Both bedrooms of this private two storey home feature comfy queen-size beds, ideal for couples, families, or friends. If you need space for a fifth guest, we can set up the Daybed in the living room, which converts from a couch into a cozy bed.

Guest Access
Step into our serene forested yard, where giant cedars loom and sway gently. For an additional fee, we can prepare our magical wood-burning hot tub next to a gentle creek, and 30 meters from our main house. We also have a registered massage therapist on site. Nearby Dorris Lane leads to a beautiful forest path that eventually spills out onto the ocean beach.


Wood-Fueled Hot Tub Experience

Thank you for your interest in our highly sought-after hot tub experience! Before booking your accommodation dates, we kindly ask that you send us an inquiry to confirm the tubs availability.

For a fee of $150 CAD per night, and again when available, we are delighted to prepare our wood-fueled hot tub for you. Here’s why this unique experience is truly special and priced the way it is:

Preparing the hot tub is a labor of love, requiring about 5 hours of work. We refill the tub with every new guest using pure, chemical-free meltwater from our creek. To clean the tub, we use only natural Castile soap, a splash of vinegar, and plenty of effort, ensuring a mineral-rich, fresh water soak without any harsh chemicals. Heating the tub is equally detailed, requiring four large wheelbarrows of chopped wood to achieve the perfect temperature.

The result is an extraordinary experience: relaxing in pristine water warmed by a crackling wood fire, surrounded by the natural scents of the forest rather than chemical odors.

After each use, we return the water to the creek as pure as when we borrowed it, minimizing our environmental impact.

The setting itself is magical. Towering cedar trees sway overhead, and the ambiance is enhanced by the glow of candlelight. We can arrange cold beverages to complement your soak, and for those who enjoy cold plunges, there’s a refreshing pool in the creek just steps away.

Because the hot tub relies on a complex open-air wood stove, operation is handled exclusively by us. Please note that we cannot offer this experience during regional fire bans, which typically occur between June and October.

We hope this insight into the care and effort involved helps you understand the pricing of this one-of-a-kind activity. We look forward to providing you with an unforgettable experience!
