Our iconic 60's log Cabin is a year round getaway with all the modern conveniences and a unique country cabin feel on .9 acre lot. Tide pools and rocky beach in front of the Cabin. Swimming options in front or at near by pebble and sandy beaches.

Wrap-around sundeck complete with Webber BBQ, picnic bench, market umbrella and ample seating. Comfy furniture expansive views and large fireplace. Observe our resident feathered friends including bald eagles, herons, gulls, kingfishers, woodpeckers, chickadees and juncos.

A vista of majestic snow capped mountains, glittering sunlight and long magenta sunsets awaits you. Lapping waves, resident sea lions and wind soughing through fir, oak and arbutus trees provide you with nature’s lulling symphony.

A cozy haven to enjoy winter storms, just over an hour from Mount Washington, the Cabin’s living area includes vaulted ceiling, glowing wood beams, swivel mounted flat screen HD T.V. antique brick fireplace with thermostat controlled gas insert.

The Cabin delivers an authentic ambiance along with all the modern conveniences including three bedrooms (queen, queen and bunk bed), one bathroom (tub/shower) and a large living-dining-kitchen area with spectacular views.

From October through May you will see and hear sea lions passing close to shore daily. This is one of only a few properties on Vancouver Island with a southwest exposure.

The kitchen is well stocked and we ask that our VBRO guests kindly replace items that they deplete during their stay.

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac the property has a large level lawn with plenty of room for boccie, croquet, badminton, frisbee and more. The quite streets nearby are ideal for leisurely family walks to Beachcomber Park, Beachcomber Marina or around "The Point”.

If your preference is to enjoy all that Northwest Bay has to offer from the water, information regarding local kayak rentals and guided tours is available.

The Cabin is only 10 minutes from Fairwinds Golf Course and Marina.

We found it just as advertised, clean, room(s) for all, well-apportioned, beautifully located, a truly nice space to share time with friends and gaze out at the water and sky, not necessarily in that order. Recommended.

The cabin was perfect. Everything we hoped for. Homely, comfortable, very well equipped, quiet, private... The setting was amazing... Facing onto the water, lovely sunsets with sea lions swimming past every evening. Eagles, hummingbirds, deer.. Small private beach, bench overlooking the water, huge veranda for sun and shade. Very quiet and peaceful. Just lovely.

This cabin was perfect for a relaxing get away. The view of the bay was incredible with seals, birds, deer and bunnies right off the deck. The cabin had everything we needed to make meals. If you are showing up in the dark, it is a bit tricky to find as the house number and the lane to the cabin are a bit hidden. The cabin was clean, well stocked and was exactly as described. The view can’t be beat!

This was a perfect location for our stay in this area. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. Lots of animal activity with deer stopping by every day including a mother with 2 fawns. Bald eagles, herons, seals and rabbits were all in the area.

Fantastic cabin with incredible views

We couldn’t be happier with our stay in this lovely, roomy cabin with a fantastic view out of large windows and from a spacious deck. With a well supplied kitchen - these owners have made an excellent effort to supply everything someone could need. We will definitely return someday and highly recommend this home.

A clean & cozy cabin with beautiful evening light and lovely sunsets. Our kids enjoyed playing in the ocean in front of the cabin and swimming to nearby pebble beach. Great deck with lots of sun & big yard for outdoor play.

Lakeside cabin

The cabin was comfortable and had even more amenities than we needed. The tidal pools were great for exploring and learning and the wildlife sitings were a joy to see. Next time, I'll remember to wear socks or pants when walking in the long grass to save my ankles from the gnat bites. We would definitely stay here again!

Sunny, Relaxing Holiday

We had a lovely second visit to the Pan Abode. We brought our bikes and explored all the public access beaches in the neighbourhood including Wall Beach across the bay. Like last year, the cabin was spotless & the sunsets were beautiful. We all enjoyed the spaciousness of the property and the huge deck - great for reading, eating & playing cards. The children (7 & 11) swam several times a day. Thanks for having us!

We had a great stay. Cabin is clean, and comfortable. The setting on the water is truly amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay at the cabin...and our first visit to Vancouver Island. The location outside Nanoose Bay is great for exploring the island, although a bit farther from Victoria itself, we spent more time on the nearby beaches and in the forests of the interior. The setting is incredible, private and right on the water with sightings of birds, seals and dolphins...and amazing sunsets. The cabin has everything, including comfortable indoor and outdoor space, and we were very pleased with the layout and available space for the square footage. It is up to date, clean and very comfortable. We hope to return some day.

Thank you for staying with us and for the positive review. In my +50 years experience at the Cabin I have not seen any dolphins. From October to May you will see and hear California sea lions from the breeding colony located at the head of our Bay.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Mann

Host profile image
We live in Victoria two hours from our vacation property. We opened the Cabin to paying guests in 2013.

Why they chose this property

I was four years old when my parents purchased the land and I have enjoyed it ever since. My wife and I have vacationed here with family and friends for almost 30 years. We have maintained the Cabin's West Coast ambiance while installing all the comforts of home.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the few properties on the inland coast of Vancouver Island with a southwest sun catching exposure. The Cabin is surrounded by fir, oak and arbutus trees. Enjoy views of mountains and sunlight reflecting off the water until sunset or walk to Beachcomber Regional Park.
