Sturdies Bay House | InTheBluff - Galiano's Oceanside Log House

2 Bedroom House in Sturdies Bay, Galiano

Located on Active Pass, the spectacular marine passage separating Galiano and Mayne islands, InTheBluff - Galiano’s Oceanside Log House offers one of the most stunning outlooks in the Southern Gulf Islands. The area is known for its strong currents, often turbulent waters and array of wildlife - look out to eagles soaring, seals, sea lions and otters frolicking in the swirling currents and orca whales in their natural element. Even humpback whales pass by regularly. We very much appreciate and encourage land-based whale watching.
InTheBluff is a very unique and wonderful escape, an artisan log home atop an oceanfront cliff and amongst over 6 private acres characterized by Garry oaks, Arbutus, Douglas fir and Cedar trees. The beautiful log home has all the modern amenities one could desire, including Wi/Fi & HD (antenna/smart)TV. Two bedrooms (each with queen size beds) offer comfort and separation. The master is upstairs with a private balcony overlooking Active Pass. InTheBluff very comfortably accommodates up to four.
The decks are stunning and feature an infinity-edge hot tub. It is difficult to imagine a more beautiful spot to be lounging in a hot tub! (A rainwater collection system is used for replenishing the hot tub and flushing the log house's main level powder room toilet.)
InTheBluff’s kitchen is well equipped, featuring an old style Heartland country stove and oven, microwave, toaster oven, and dishwasher. Cuddle in the living room by the Tulikivi (soap stone) wood burning fireplace, lounge on one of the the decks with a good book and enjoy some evening Netflix in the comfortable TV loft.
For the avid nature explorers, reaching the gorgeous ¼ mile long beach below is particularly convenient as the Matthews Point Beach Access trail is immediately adjacent. This is just the beginning though as the Matthews Point Regional Park Reserve, essentially an extension of InTheBluff, connects directly with Bluffs Park with its array of trials and vistas. Mt. Galiano is also linked by an evolving island trail system - remember your water, good hiking shoes and camera!
InTheBluff is a non-smoking, no pet retreat. We consider ourselves an un-official sanctuary for all local wildlife, most particularly deer and a huge array of birds. The property is perfectly situated for some of the best hikes the Gulf Islands have to offer or for just sitting back, breathing the fresh island air and taking in the stunning views any time of the year.
When reviewing our availability, please keep in mind that we are a full house rental, so our minimum stay is three nights (average is five to ten nights), and we do not accept bookings with single nights left between stays.

Summary: Amazing location to get lost from busy life. The whole island is full of places to explore. The Cabin itself is on a huge forested lot, overlooking the ocean and its own path to a secluded beach. We will be back.

Summary: It doesn’t get any better than this!! Lawrence and Janusz are wonderful, they do everything they can to make your stay the best it can be! The cabin is stunning and they have thought of everything! There was ice made, fire built and music playing to welcome us on arrival! Kitchen was great, we cooked all dinners there ( has the best view in town) Then there’s the view! It is mind blowing! Pics don’t do it Justice! Tons of wildlife and we were even lucky enough to see a pod of orcas go by! This place is truly magical! Sturdies bay is wonderful too. A couple of little grocery stores with a good selection as well as alcohol. We also got take out from the black flying dog and babes in the woods pizza, both were excellent! The Sturdies bay cafe for coffee, sweet and savoury treats is also a must!! It is amazing there and the staff is wonderful! This was the best vacation ever!! Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Lawrence and Janusz!!!

Summary: Spent three nights here in absolute heaven. Needed an escape from Seattle craziness. Very easy to get there. The owner is AMAZING and answers very promptly any questions and even sends you alerts when whales are nearby! We barely left the property. Just relaxed and enjoyed the incredible views and nature. Such a tranquil and happy place to relax. Even with rain in the first 24 hours it was so peaceful and enjoyable. Not much on the island but frankly you don’t need to leave the house! Highly highly highly recommend!!

Summary: Our post-wedding stay here was absolutely magical! The cabin itself is beautiful and the view overlooking Active Pass is absolutely stunning. The place was super private with an abundance of friendly wildlife coming to say hi each day. We loved that there was a short walk down to a really nice beach that was pretty much private as most of the time we were the only ones there. And the infinity hot tub at sunset is so nice! On top of all this, Lawrence and Janusz were super friendly, accommodating, and helpful and definitely went above and beyond as hosts :) If you're coming to Galiano and InTheBluff is available then we'd highly recommend booking it!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Lawrence and Janusz’s lovely log house In the Bluff. The house is perched high above the water overlooking Active Pass. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The deck, hot tub and inside of the house, captures this amazing view from every angle. The outside and inside furniture is very comfortable and tasteful. L & J have thought of everything to make your stay there deluxe. We loved our time there and look forward to returning. Thank you to Lawrence and Janusz for sharing your piece of paradise with us and for being such gracious hosts!
