Willowbrae Chalet-Sophisticated Forest-Hot Tub

WILLOWBRAE CHALET at Florencia Bay Retreat is a quaint rustic cottage, privately located on a 2.4 acre old growth forested property bordering Pacific Rim National Park, within walking distance of Florencia Bay and Halfmoon via the Willowbrae Trail. This is a place to unplug and reconnect with nature and decompress from the busyness of life.

Custom designed and beautifully handcrafted, Willowbrae Chalet is a warm and inviting West Coast escape featuring dramatic flared cedar log accents inside and out.
Inside, a stunning handcrafted log staircase leads upstairs to a spacious loft bedroom with a king bed, as well as a queen bedroom with an ensuite. Please note these two upstairs sleeping areas are connected by a shared entryway. The upstairs ensuite includes a stand-up shower and a charming clawfoot tub — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Downstairs, the chalet offers an open-concept layout with a recently updated kitchen, booth seating for family meals, and a cozy living room featuring a propane fireplace and vintage smart speaker for ambient music on colder evenings. The sofa also folds out to sleep an additional 1–2 guests. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is located just off the kitchen.

Step outside onto your large private deck, tucked into the old-growth forest, where you’ll find a covered hot tub, outdoor dining table, and a BBQ for the grill masters at heart. With forest views from every room, this chalet is the perfect retreat for couples, families, or small groups looking to unwind in nature.

The perfect place to relax

Everything about this place was lovely. Easy check in, with the property manager checking in on us a few times during our stay to would make sure we had everything we needed. They had lovely Saltspring soap works products for your use during they stay and some local coffee for us to enjoy. Highly recommend this place and will be staying here again. The only thing that some might be bothered by is the low water pressure but it wasn’t a problem for us.

Sunny Ucluelet trip

The accommodation was absolutely lovely, great location and had all the amenities needed for a quick stay! Super cozy and the hot tub is just a great plus! It is a log cabin so I understand it's rustic but there were a decent amount of cobwebs on the ceiling. Otherwise still an awesome stay!! Would come again!

Way better than I was even expecting, all my friends were so thankful I found this place! It was cozy, clean, comfortable, and we had a fantastic time. I especially enjoyed having a soak in the upstairs tub and we were all thankful for the private hot tub in the back!

MY FAVOURITE ISLAND GETAWAY

Florencia Bay Resort has become my home away from home when I come to Tofino/Ucluelet. I have now stayed in both the Halfmoon Bay Cottage and Willowbrae Chalet and I couldn't speak enough about how beautiful they both are, attention to detail in the cabins is HUGE and everyone is so sweet and kind before, during and after my stays. I have dogs and it was crucial to find a pet friendly cabin where my fur babies could curl up in front of the fire and relax but still be a drive or walk away from the ocean. If you want a relaxing stay in one of the most beautiful places on earth Florencia Bay Resort is your one stop shop!

Really fantastic!

We really enjoyed our time in the cottage. Everything was super clean, the terrace with the whirlpool is a dream and the whole apartment is furnished to a very high standard. The directions and access to the house via a code are very easy and we were welcomed with a friendly personal letter and a delicious greeting. We also really liked the fact that we could do two trails from the hut to the beach. We can only recommend this house and even with three children it was pure relaxation. Thank you.

A Slice of Paradise

Thank you so much for an amazing stay! WillowBrae was clean, well equipped and had high quality amenities. The small touches didn't go unnoticed and really appreciated. This property is in an excellent location with amazing beach access to Florencia Bay within an easy 10min walk. The whole property is quite, private and even with other guests in the other cabins truly feels like you're the only one onsite. The stand out amongst this all was the amazing customer service - from booking, all the way through departure I was impressed with the personalized service and ease to be able to contact the Tofino Vacation Rentals team if I had any questions. This kind of top notch service makes me confident in booking any properties you manage! Thank you again and can't wait to be back again soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Willowbrae Chalet! We fell in love with the cozy cabin interior and enjoyed the grill and hot tub too. The view from the upstairs bathroom window in front of the tub was to die for. The location was great just slightly north of Ucluelet and allowed us to easily access our activities at the Ucluelet harbor as well as up in Long Beach and Tofino. Thank you for a beautiful stay - we will be back!

Beautiful, comfortable, private and fully and adequately equipped with everything we needed to cook, clean and enjoy our stay

Florencia Bay Retreat was all we hoped for and more, clean, comfortable, private and well equipped for 6 people. The check in and out was a smooth and easy process, with staff checking in via text to make sure we were content and have all our needs met. Would return again someday and would recommend the Florencia Bay Retreat
