Slow-Go Log Cabin in the Woods with SAUNA & Cozy Woodstove | Cabin in Qualicum Beach
1 Bedroom Cabin in Regional District of Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach
Slow Go is a beautiful hand-built log cabin nestled among towering cedars beside a small babbling creek, surrounded by lush ferns. It’s a cozy, back-to-nature stay where you can truly slow down — and fall asleep to the sound of a crackling fire — and maybe some rain on the metal roof too.
Just off the Old Island Highway, you’re centrally located for exploring Vancouver Island — minutes to the nearest beach and about 10 minutes to Qualicum Beach. It’s perfect as a stopover en-route to Tofino or the North Island, or for a longer, slower retreat in nature. Parksville and Coombs are an easy drive, with outdoor favourites like Spider Lake (~15 min), Cathedral Grove (~25 min), Horne Lake Caves (~25 min), and Mount Washington (~45 min) all within easy reach.
SHARED SAUNA EXPERIENCE
We’re so excited to share our new shared wood-fired sauna with you, complete with a change area and an outdoor cold water shower on the platform for the full hot/cold reset. If you plan to use it, you’ll need to be comfortable building and tending a fire and using an axe to prep kindling. Please be mindful of the other cabin when sharing the sauna space. Wood-fired heat is unhurried — give it a little time to get cozy. Further guidelines and safety notes will be shared in the guest guide and posted onsite.
THE CABIN
When we say “hand built,” we mean it. This cabin was constructed from the ground up by local islander Francis Provencal, using timber from the property — from felling and milling logs to building the cozy interior and finishing touches.
INSIDE YOU`LL FIND:
-Warm, open living area with hand-peeled logs and gorgeous wide plank wood floors
-TV with Firestick (streaming) + DVD player and a big DVD collection
-Fully equipped kitchen with all cooking essentials, plus coffee & tea
-Small indoor dining table
-Spacious loft with two queen beds
-Double sofa bed in the living area for extra sleeping space
-3-piece bathroom with a shower/tub combo
-Two decks (front + back), with a large back deck featuring an outdoor dining table for 6 and a propane BBQ (propane included)
WIFI & CELL SERVICE
Wi-Fi works great. Cell service is limited inside the cabin and works best outdoors — Wi-Fi calling is a good solution.
PARKING
Free designated parking is right outside the cabin. You’ll have plenty of privacy — the cabin sits beside just one other. The owners live across the creek nearby if anything comes up, but you likely won’t see them.
PETS
Pets are welcome. The rear deck is fenced, but the yard is not fully fenced, so pups should be well-behaved and supervised if off-leash. Please add pets to your reservation if you plan to bring them.
-The cabins are on a well so we ask that you do your best to conserve water during the hot summer months so that it does`t run dry.
-Please let us know if you plan on bringing your pet by adding them to your reservation.
-If your dog is off leash, they must be under control & you must be outside with them.
