Summary: We really enjoyed our weekend stay in the enchanted woods. The check-in process was seamless and Jennifer provided a ton of information that was easy to follow. The house itself is perfect for couples or parties of bigger sizes, there’s plenty of space. Use of the kayaks was a lovely treat that was the highlight of the trip. Sechelt is a relatively short trip from the house so plenty to do outside of the property too. Looking forward to coming back in the near future.

Summary: We had a wonderful weekend away at this beautiful property. The view from the cottage is stunning, youre right on the water. The place has all the comforts of home and the wood burning heater really adds to the cozy vibes. The property is very quiet and peaceful. Comfortable beds and just a 15-20 minute drive to everything sechelt has to offer. Would definitely visit again!

Summary: The property is located right on the water and has stunning views. It was so lovely to wake up every morning and look out at the water - and getting to take a cold dip and run back in for a warm shower.The property itself needs a bit of love - the sofa was ripped up to pieces, the lifejackets were covered in mould and the kitchen was lacking some useful utensils - and some of the ones that were there were dirty. The duvet in one of the rooms had what looked like a (small) blood stain on it.Additionally we had some issues with the heating in one of the rooms -the baseboard heating wouldn't turn off and the room was unbearably hot (I had the window open in January and still couldn't breath from how hot it was). We did flag this to the property owner but were told it had never happened before which was a little frustrating as I barely had any sleep over my stay there (nothing the view and cold dip couldn't fix)All that being said, communication from the host was instant which was really appreciated. We think the property has some amazing potential - just needs a little update but the view and location is something money just cant buy :)

Summary: We loved the outside fire pit, watching eagles from the deck and our daughter even took a cold water plunge. Lots of day hiking and delicious meals by fireplace. A tranquil and restorative forest retreat!

Summary: Enchanted Woods is a perfect spot to experience the rugged BC coast. Even though it was mid December, it was not too cold to use the kayaks at the property and paddle the protected waters to enjoy the ocean and it's critters. The wood stove and many windows allowed for a cozy place to watch the tidal world wake and retire at days end. Furnishings are comfortable and not over done. We need more days here as we left some adventures on the table.

Summary: We had a super time. The pics represent the place well. Lots of outdoor space, comfortable beds, all appliances worked well, view was incredible, water toys were excellent, the whole 9 yards. We are looking forward to another stay in the summer time (we stayed over Thanksgiving long weekend). My favourite pet was the well stocked wood pile to keep the cabin cozy at night. We will definitely be back!
