Slow-Go Log Cabin in the Woods with Cozy Woodstove

The Slow Go is a beautiful hand built log home nestled amongst huge cedar trees and perched next to a small babbling creek, lush with ferns.

Conveniently located directly off Old Island Highway and centrally located for exploring the island. Make this your stopover en-route to Tofino or North Island or stay for a while and enjoy this amazing area! Qualicum Beach, Parksville & Coombs are all within easy driving distance. Just a couple minutes to the nearest beach, 10 minutes to the quaint town of Qualicum Beach, 15 minutes to Spider Lake, 25 minutes to Horne Lake Caves & 45 minutes to Mount Washington, it’s within easy reach of all your outdoor pursuits! Simply a perfect place to get back to nature, kick up your feet and fall asleep to the sound of rain on the metal roof.

When we say hand built, we mean it! The cabin was constructed from the ground up with lots of hard work and love by Francis Provencal who lives on the other side of the creek with his partner Courtnee & their 3 children. From falling logs on the property, milling lumber, building the cozy interior, doors & shakes to adding all the finishing touches.. He did it all in hopes that you will come slow down and enjoy this beautiful land.

The cabin welcomes you with a lovely open living area. Hand peeled logs and real wood floors bring the essence of nature inside. There is a TV with a Firestick (for streaming) along with a DVD player and a large collection of DVD’s. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with all the cooking essentials as well as coffee & tea. Climb up to the spacious loft where two comfy queen beds will have you resting easy or use the double size sofa bed in the living area if you need extra space. There are 2 large decks - front and back, allowing you to take in nature and use the BBQ (propane included), rain or shine.

The Wifi works great but cell phones only work well outside the cabin so using wifi calling on your phone is a good solution.

Free designated parking area is right outside the cabin.

You will have lots of privacy as your cabin is located beside just one other. The property owners live on the other side of the creek so you although you won`t see them, they aren`t far if anything is needed.

Pets are welcome! The rear deck is fenced but the yard itself is not so dogs must be well behaved & supervised if they are off leash on the property. Please indicate if you plan on bringing your pooch by adding them to your reservation.

The cabins are on a well so we ask that you do your best to conserve water during the hot summer months so that it does`t run dry.

We kindly ask that you’re not excessively loud, especially after 10:00pm.
