Listening Horse Ranch Retreat
We are happy to offer you a cozy, bright and airy NO Smoking log cabin that will give you an experience of forest living close to a unique seaside community. 3 private decks. Great for couples and families with children. (If you are looking for a place to party into the night this is not the place. Quiet after 10 pm required.) Well behaved dogs welcome. Internet Wifi at no additional charge. TV (no cable) with DVD player and BluRay with family DVDs provided. Queen bed, sofa bed (double size that fits 2 children or one adult) & twin air bed accommodates a family of 5 (to be clear, it fits 2 adults and 3 children, not 5 adults). Soak in double Jacuzzi tub with natural mineral water from our well with special filter system. Relax on the deck, BBQ provided. Some toys, board games and books provided. Room to park your RV w electric hook-up for an additional cost. If your dogs get along with other dogs they are welcome to be off leash while supervised. We have 2 big, friendly, well socialized off leash dogs who will come by the cabin to play with your dogs or kids and to tell you we never feed them 😏 We have free range chickens and 4 horses on adjoining property. Kitchen has everything you need to cook with. IGA 3km away for grocery shopping or enjoy many fabulous local restaurants. The cabin’s 1 acre property adjoins our 3 acre horse property. Access to our adjoining property only permitted with our supervision due to presence of the livestock. We will be very happy to schedule a time for you to visit the horses or to come for an equine therapy session. Please contact me for costs. If you have a dog please keep it leashed while on our part of the property for its safety around the livestock. Family beach at Roberts Creek with walk out pier which is sandy when the tide is out, quiet beach at Flume Rd with picnic tables, beautiful seaside sunset walk at Davis Bay all within 2 - 5 km. Retreat and relax or explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast with walking trails right off the property or hiking trails on Dakota Ridge just above us, or hike the Tetrahedron or Sunshine Coast Trail. Dog walkers, check out the trails at Hidden Grove. Kayaking, paddle-boarding and water sports available at local beaches (see Alpha Adventures 5 km away or the many brochures provided in the cabin ). Our property adjoins this one so we are available to assist you settling in, providing info on things to do in the area, or whatever you might need. Towels, sheets, bedding provided. Washer/dryer in mud room for your convenience. Kitchen has fridge, stove, toaster, coffee maker with filter basket, grinder, kettle, microwave. Most things provided like all pots, pans, cooking and BBQ utensils, dishes, etc. You bring all your own food but we do provide basic cooking spices, olive oil, as well as a selection of herbal teas. Local IGA has full range of foods including excellent selection of organic food and coffees. Our chickens will be happy to provide you with some eggs if they are laying.
The owners, Terri and Dwane, want this to be a nice getaway for you :)Terri is a Certified Equine Facilitated Therapist and can provide an experience in horse-assisted learning or therapy - check out the Listening Horse Ranch website for more info if you are interested in this. Horse-back riding available at a nearby location. This is a NO SMOKING cabin and AND PROPERTY for NON-SMOKERS ONLY. This is strictly enforced. You do your own kitchen and bathroom cleaning and laundry/bedding/towels as needed while you are there. Cleaning products provided along with laundry soap and dryer sheets. At the end of your stay all we ask is that you do and put away your dishes and just leave any used linens in the laundry room for us to take care of. Otherwise just leave the cabin generally neat and tidy. We do the complete cleaning and sterilizing to prepare for the next guests when your stay is complete. Should you break something please let us know and we might ask you to replace the item or compensate us for it. Depends on what it is. We don't sweat the small stuff like a bowl or a glass.
We love our little artsy, quirky community of Roberts Creek! Check out Roberts Creek BC, Gibsons, BC, Sechelt BC, Sunshine Coast BC on the website for more info on the many outdoor activities we have on this gorgeous piece of the planet. Great place for outdoorsy types! We also have 2 cinemas, theatre houses, jazz festivals, the Writer's Festival, local museums and great restaurants and cafes. Skateboard park in Gibsons, Coast Gravity park and awesome trails for mountain bikers, pools in Gibsons and Sechelt. Roberts Creek is situated 10 km from the Town of Gibsons and 10 km from the Town of Sechelt. We are less than 5 km from Wilson Creek where there is an IGA Grocery Store, excellent coffee shop, pharmacy, doctor's office, sushi restaurant and wine making facility, as well as a Canadian Tire store (a large hardware, kitchen, camping, auto supply, etc store.) Nevertheless, you will feel like you are off the beaten path nestled by trees with only our own house barely in site through them. It is definitely private and a is a great place to get renewed. We ask that noise is kept to a minimum after 10 pm. Hope to see you soon!
PS If you wish to stay for more than one month you must rebook each month or for any additional time. We only book through this platform VRBO/HomeAway/Expedia/Fido and its affiliates; we do not book privately.
