Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat is an Award-winning Glamping Nature Retreat. We are centrally located on the Sunshine Coast (only a 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay) on a spectacular 10-acre ocean-view property. We run a small, organic farm and host guests in intriguing tiny homes and glamping tents. We have everything from a converted schoolie with a woodstove and an ocean view, furnished RV's with large decks, to gorgeous, furnished campsites in the woods. Check out our micro cabins, RV's, and assortment of glamping tents. Our property is a nature oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Just 20 minutes north of Sechelt, we're close to beaches and lakes. Enjoy our recreation area with a large pond (much smaller in the summertime), our small playground for young kids, and our small orchard with several small ponds. Explore our walking trails, visit our chickens, or sit near our seasonal waterfall. There are many spots on the property to sit and chill. We've also been Airbnb hosts for over 13 years.

100% (1)
Cabin · Sleeps 3
Peacock Cabin - Charming Off-Grid Escape with Nature at Your Doorstep Discover the magic of Peacock Cabin, our newest cozy hideaway, perfect for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Nestled near our outdoor washroom and shower facilities, this beautifully crafted cabin offers a serene blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. The cabin's inviting, light-filled space features windows on all sides, providing stunning views of the surrounding woods. The spacious loft, complete with a plush queen-sized bed, is perfect for a restful night's sleep, while the marine propane heater with a visible flame adds both warmth and ambiance. Cook up your favorite meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with a 2-burner propane cooktop, a quiet mini-fridge with a separate freezer, and all the essentials for preparing delicious, home-cooked meals. After a day of exploring, unwind on the cozy couch (which can double as a bed for a smaller guest), or set up a camping mat for a child if needed. Peacock Cabin offers several charming spots to relax, sip your morning coffee, or get some work done—whether at the handcrafted live-edge bar top or the fold-down table overlooking the peaceful outdoor dining area. This cabin is full of delightful "tiny secrets" that make it truly special—each one adding to an unforgettable stay. Whether you're here to relax, recharge, or explore, Peacock Cabin is the perfect base for your next adventure. NOTE: Anyone coming with a well-behaved dog, must pay a pet fee of $30 by selecting this as an extra. This is a semi-off-grid cabin surrounded by nature. It's fully functional and very cozy. It has only one outlet, as cooking is done with propane. Feel free to bring an extension cord if you'd like. There is other lighting, both battery-operated and rechargeable via USB cables provided. We also suggest that you bring slippers during the cooler weather. The floor and ceiling are insulated but colder air stays at the floor level. The outdoor bathroom is just steps away, but for long-term guests, we can supply a fold-up toilet that uses disposable bags for a cash fee of $25. It must be left clean and packaged as it was when we left it for you.
