Best Cabin Rentals in Sunshine Coast BC, British Columbia 2025

Once you’ve arrived, Sunshine Coast cabin rentals make for the perfect stay in this serene landscape ripe for exploration. Settle into a tiny house or cabin with amenities like a wood stove, cozy linens, and a full kitchen, or opt for a rustic, remote getaway in an A-frame offering little more than a bed, a hot tub, and maybe an outhouse. While cabin camping, take in this natural wonderland and its 100-plus miles of shoreline, from the many coves in Madeira Park to the shaded canopy, waterfall, and tranquil rock pools of Buderim Forest Park. This corner of BC is a haven for the outdoor enthusiast, from beachcombing to mountain biking on trails and paddling on lakes.

Both Susan and Tony were amazing hosts. They were always quick to answer any questions and were incredibly kind! We did end up booking a tour with them of their place which was truly spectacular and original. Me and my parter have already discussed when we will return next. We will be forever thinking about our conversations with them both sharing our love for the environment and dogs:) Looking forward to our next visit!

Love the micro-cabin. It is very compact and thoughtfully designed. We enjoyed the firepit and kitchen. Kito was very healpful and even provided us with extra heater. The water in the outdoor shower is very cold so it could be improved. But im sure that Kito will immediately fix it if you message him. We didnt need to use it during that time so it wasnt a problem for us. Overall, it is a nice place and very private. We also enjoyed the trail.

Weekend Trip to Strongwater Camping and Cabins

We had the best experience at strongwater cabins. The cabins are cozy and picturesque, with all the essentials. An electric kettle and mini fridge made our experience so much better, since we were able to store our food and enjoy hot drinks on the chilly autumn nights. The cabin comes with an electric fireplace that kept us perfectly toasty as well. Hot showers and clean bathrooms and area to wash our dishes was so convenient! Cheyenne has put her heart into the property and it shows. The hosts are super accommodating! We even got to use their canoe and paddle out on Waugh Lake, and check out their infrared sauna. The cherry on top is the delightful animals that live on the property. Geese, chickens, mini ponies, guinea fowl, and more. We explored the Skookumchuck trail and checked out the amazing whirlpools. Every inch of this forest is beautiful, made better by our time at the cabin. We will absolutely return! A 10/10 experience.

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Cabin

Stayed three nights for my partner's birthday long weekend! We had Christian's property all to ourselves for most of the stay, which definitely contributed to the zen vibes we were hoping for. It's nice to be able to spend so much time "doing nothing" without a sense of guilt, haha. We brought a bluetooth speaker, but only used it on a couple occasions (when cooking). The opportunity for silence and stillness can be a rare thing. The cabin is not fully finished but it has everything one could hope for. Bed and sofas are on wheels so a good chance for your closet interior decorator to shine. I recommend bringing headlamps or at least external batteries for your phone torch for convenience at night (we brought board games). The wood stove is easy to manage once you get the ropes, and Christian does a good job of teaching. We were toasty throughout our stay (evenings around 10C or so), but it doesn't hurt to bring extra for your sleep, when managing the fire might be harder. The kitchen is well equipped and we had a blast grilling up steaks. No issues with the outhouse. We didn't get enough sun for the solar showers but it's a neat setup. Overall a wonderful stay. Beautiful piece of property and it's clear how much care Christian has put into it- and continues to. Honestly hard to say how different our stay would be with others camping nearby, but the experience we got was very memorable.

We LOVED staying at Cheyenne's Treehouse Cabin. We stayed in cabin 2 for 2 nights and it was pure perfection. It truly felt like you were in a treehouse among the trees. The whole property was gorgeous and miraculously upkept. The heater kept the cabin warm at night, towels and loonies for showers were provided. Close to Skookumchuk Narrows and Skookumchuk Bakery and Cafe (the cinnamon buns are a MUST). Would absolutely recommend for a friend.

I would recommend for my low maintenance friends as the pee toilet in the cabin is a separate room with a seat, however is a 20gallon paint bucket that you do have to clean. This didn’t bother me, but may bother some. I didn’t shower when I stayed because the shower was very dirty and full of garbage from previous guests. The compost toilet is clean and right around the corner from the cabin. There are workers/helpers/younger (quiet) crew who live on site and are very helpful and wonderful. I loved staying here and will be back. My only concern was the lack of cleanliness of the shower. I’ve posted an updated photo.

Staying in Karen & Kito's A-frame cabin was a super unique experience! With a solar-powered battery, a little propane heater a stove and BBQ, I had everything I needed to enjoy a lovely night at the Tiny Secrets Farm :) I was able to have the window wall open late into the night. There were no bugs!! It was fun to explore the property, visit the rabbits and chickens and chat with Dan, the caretaker, who was super friendly and made sure I had a great stay! I really loved how quiet and peaceful it was! The shower is rustic but hot water is really all I needed ;)

Love this little micro cabin! It was well stocked with everything one could need and oh so cozy. The loft is so fun (gets a little warm at times) and the multi directional windows are great for letting a breeze through. The compost toilet isn’t my favourite but I am grateful for a warm shower (it’s a little inconsistent but it’s not cold!) Dan the groundskeeper and Kito and Karen are all lovely and leave you to relax but are readily available should you need anything. Very kind and receptive hosts. Looking forward to returning one day ☺️

1 night at Valinore Glamping

Our stay at Valinore Glamping exceeded my expectations. Not that I had low expectations, but upon arrival at the property, both my partner and I were impressed by the craftsmanship of the cabin, the shared amenities, and the well-kept grounds in general. The property is in a nice central location perfect for exploring the mid Island, with lots to do nearby and the highway is right there for exploring further afield. The cabin is comfortable and well-equipped, with cooking supplies, coffee/tea, an A/C unit, heater, a propane fire pit, and even laundry. The common area has a nice clean shower and toilet, as well as additional cooking supplies. During our stay we were thrilled to be warm and dry in the cabin while an incredible electrical storm thundered overhead and dumped buckets of rain. We sat under the overhang and enjoyed the propane fire pit as the sky exploded — it was pretty awesome. Nearby Parksville/Qualicum/Coombs offer lots to do, I’d recommend checking out the new brewery/restaurant Fern & Cedar, swimming at Englishman River Falls Provincial Park, and mountain biking at Hammerfest riding area. I’d certainly stay at Valinore Glamping again.

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Cabin

Christian’s land is so beautiful w/ well equipped open kitchen and a pretty pavilion to enjoy quality time with friends or fellow campers. Christian was super nice and quick to response. We enjoyed his tour and learning about his story of building this sanctuary people can come and share the nature and a moment of their life together. We had thoroughly enjoyed that and the campfire chat we had with other families staying there. Highly recommend and would come again in the future.
