About this property

This cozy little nook tucked away in the beautiful forest of Caycuse in the Cowichan Valley is the perfect place to escape and unwind.

The suite features a single bed, mini fridge, kettle and outdoor cooking area.

Enjoy your own therapeutic spa with wood fired Sauna, cold tub and outdoor hot shower. A 20 meter stroll along the forest path and you'll arrive at the shared outhouse with compost toilet and sink.
The space
You will be staying in a cozy little bunkhouse beside our traditional wood fired Sauna. The Bunkhouse was built in the forest to have you feel immersed in nature, but from the comfort of your high quality bed sheets.

Many guests have said they can lay here for hours, just watching the sun come through the trees and light up the forest floor.

The Bunkhouse is built on a 5 acre forested property that offers many places to explore. The property offers a large log home, beautiful gardens, a large shared fire-pit area, a Geodesic Dome (listing coming soon), Sauna and Cold plunge, outdoor hot shower, access to hiking trails, a 6 person hammock in the trees, and many areas in the forest to observe nature and enjoy the sounds of the birds and owls.

During your stay
Typically, Bryce will be home to both check in guests and give a property tour if they choose. We're here to help start the Sauna and make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. We live full time in the Log home and are happy to either offer you and your guest absolute privacy with minimal interaction, or you're welcome to come hang out, talk travel stories, and explore some hidden areas around here that very few get to see.
Other things to note
As noted above, the Bunkhouse only offers 1 single bed. We have had many groups of 2 stay in this space and absolutely love it, including a few "that was the best sleep of my life". It's really something special to sleep this close to a magical forest like this.
