Tiny home on Nature Sanctuary with access to private lake and hot tub | Cabin in Nanaimo
3 Bedroom Cabin in Yellow Point, Nanaimo
Welcome to the 23-acre Nature Retreat, Of the Sun Sanctuary, located in idyllic Yellowpoint, Vancouver Island.
Our Tiny Home, The Heron, is totally private, with often only the sounds of birds, frogs, crickets, and sometimes the wind to keep you company. Come for a retreat in solitude, a couple or as a family. Walk the trails, spend time on the dock on the private lake or relax in the softub on the deck just outside the front door.
The lake is small & spring fed. The water is tea coloured due to the peat on the floor and surrounding wetlands. It is a vibrant ecosystem with many frogs, tadpoles and small fish around the dock. The water is safe and we regularly swim in the lake.
The space
Enjoy the fully appointed, comfortable Tiny Home, The Heron. Perfect for every season, The Heron comes with a spacious deck looking over the private lake. Inside, you’ll find a living/dining room for lounging and entertaining, equipped with a Smart TV, that streams Amazon Prime and Netflix. There is no cable TV. Wifi is not the strongest.
In the kitchen, is a large gas cooktop, toaster oven, microwave, double sink and everything you need to cook a delicious meal. A small lounge chair/chaise overlooks the kitchen and out over the view of the lake. In-floor heating, as well as a furnace and electric fireplace in the living room keep you warm. The Heron’s design and ceiling fans keep you cool in summer.
The hot water on-demand allows for luxurious baths and showers. A sink and composting toilet complete the bathroom. In one loft is a comfortable queen bed and in the other loft are two twin beds, a portable turntable, records, games & puzzles. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room for extra guests or for those not keen on the loft. There are books and magazines to enjoy on the deck or inside, as weather allows.
This bucolic property has it all: pasture, a young and mature forest, incredible Arbutus trees, wildflower ridges, wetlands and a private lake!
Guest access
The laneway runs through the property and down the hill to the lake. At the bottom of the hill you can back into the driveway.
We live on the property, should any needs arise. NOT SUITABLE FOR PARTIERS! – this is a nature sanctuary and the health of the wildlife residents, humans, horses & nature are paramount. Wildlife is at your doorstep. It’s the perfect place to slow down, ground and breathe.
