Regional District of Nanaimo Cottage | Takala Trails Ranch - The Chalet - Nanaimo

1 Bedroom Cottage in Regional District of Nanaimo, Nanaimo

Come and escape to the peace and tranquility of our chalet style cabin, nestled in a park like setting of tall Fir trees. Sit and relax on the porch with your morning coffee and enjoy the fresh air and the birds and wildlife as they go about their business. Bring your horse (or use one of ours), mountain bike, or hiking boots and explore the 'great outdoors' that borders our ranch. You will not know you are only minutes away from all the amenities that civilization has to offer you.... restaurants, English style pubs, farmers markets, golf courses, adventure park ziplining to name just a few. The ferry terminals of Departure Bay and Duke Point are a short 20 minute drive from here. The Nanaimo Airport is just 5 minutes away. Many of our guests use our cottage as a Home Base for exploring the rest of Vancouver Island. The beautiful town of Victoria is just a short 1 1/2 hour drive south, and the rugged West Coast town of Tofino and Long Beach is about a 2 1/2 hour drive West.
Our Cabin has 2 comfortable queen-size beds in the loft. A certain amount of dexterity is needed to climb the ladder to the loft. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes and cooking utensils. There is a propane cooler on the deck and a small fridge that we provide freezer packs that are replaced every other day. There is a butane stove plus a BBQ for cooking. The energy needed for the lights are provided by a generator. There is a woodstove in the cabin for heat on cooler days or evenings. We supply the firewood for this as well as the outdoor firepit. Hot water for showering is propane heated and a battery powered pump for the spray. The adjoining bathroom has a septic system and the flush is manually activated by pouring in a jug of water. Fresh water is provided as needed for drinking and cooking. There are no TV's, computers or other electronic devices or conveniences of home here, so if you want to get away from it all this is the place for you!

Summary: My partner and two small children stayed at the cabin for three nights, as a base for visiting friends and family in Nanaimo. We are so glad we chose it, as it was a wonderful, quiet place to relax in the evening, while also being close to town and conveniences. We hope to be back again soon, thanks for everything Doug and Mary!

Summary: I was a bit sceptical at first, but this rustic cabin experience was just what I needed (and more). Being on the edge of a crown land nature reserve with no one around but the horses and birds was therapeutic! And the stars at night were amazing!

Summary: Amazing location and super friendly and helpful hosts. Exactly the type of experience we were looking for. Be prepared to leave commonplace amenities behind for a few days and enjoy the rugged cabin experience. We also lit lots of candles at night, not to use the generator and it created an especially great ambiance.

Summary: Had a great 4 night stay in the cabin out in the back of the horse ranch. Very private. The inside of the cabin was a bit dusty but we had no issue with it knowing that it is a rustic cabin that we were staying in. There was some horse manure about the property, but guess what? This cabin is on a horse ranch. We didn't mind that either. I'm just stating this for clarity. There is 2 queen beds up on the loft which is accessed by a ladder that is quite solid. A couch is on the end opposite of the front door. A kitchenette is on one wall and the wood stove on the other. A propane grill was provided under an awning and a fire pit out front. No wifi but cellular connection is not an issue anywhere on the property, as long as you have data. There is no water service, but the hosts provide water for wash up, shower and flushing the manual toilet. The bathhouse is about 30 steps from the cabin. One side is the toilet and sink, and the other side is the shower section. Towels were provided but we brought our own. The hosts went out of their way to make sure that there would be an operational hot shower for us since theirs was not working when we got there. They provided a propane heated portable shower which ran on the small generator. This generator can also be used to provide electricity to the cabin, but we did not deem it necessary since there were also led lanterns provided. Doug and Mary made sure to give ideas for seeing things around on the mountain or in town. A very pleasant couple and good hosts. We will most likely come back another time.
