Om boendet

Cortes Beachfront Hem w / Hot Tub & Kajak på 5 Trädklädda Acres

  • Wilcox Lodge är en fridfull oas inbäddat på 5 trädbevuxen tunnland på stranden av Gorge Harbour, Cortes Island, anses av många vara den bästa av de Evergreen öarna. Dessa öar ligger på den berömda "insidan passage" som används av fartyg som går till och från Alaska och är skyddade från vintern Pacific stormar av Vancouver Island, ett av de största och mest intressanta öarna i norra halvklotet. Cortes Island betjänas av reguljär färjeförbindelse från Campbell River. Campbell River på den östra sidan av Vancouver Island har planerat flygtrafik från Vancouver (värdstad för de olympiska vinterspelen 2010), och chartertrafik direkt till Gorge Harbour är tillgänglig från Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver och Campbell River.

    Cortes Island är i "regnskugga" av Vancouver Island och har betydligt mindre nederbörd än Victoria eller Vancouver. Vädret är oftast varmt och soligt med svala kvällar maj till oktober.

    Lodge ligger precis ovanför stranden med panoramautsikt över hamnen och en vy thru hamninloppet i Vancouver Island bergen i fjärran. Wildlife vimlar. Du kan se örnar och många sorter av fåglar, rådjur nere vid stranden eller ut genom köksfönstret, sjölejon, sälar eller en utter lekfullt simning från, mink, och kanske delfiner eller en val på färjan rida över.

    Med nästan 1500 kvm. Ft boyta, har denna rustika Lodge alla moderna bekvämligheter, ett fullt välutrustat kök, bekväma och rymligt vardagsrum / matsal som vetter mot en stor 750+ kvm. Ft. L-formad däck med utsikt över stranden och hamnen. Badtunna på däck. 2 schäslonger göra för lata sola / behandlingen eftermiddagar på däck och café & matbord är en perfekt plats för uteservering. Någon för ostron på grillen ??? Trappor från däck ger tillgång till stranden över en kort men gropig väg. Kajak tillgängliga för gästerna. The Lodge sover 6: 2 i den nedre loft (California king släde säng med McCroskey fast madrass & box våren), 4 i den övre loft (dubbelsäng och rulla säng med 2 dubbla madrasser). Lodge är ett "A" ram med en öppen planlösning, är den övre loftet nås via den nedre loft och båda loft är delvis öppen för de viktigaste vardagsrum (så ingen sovrum sekretess). Badrummet har ett handfat, toalett, dusch och tvättmaskin (torka kläder ute på tvättlina, de kommer att lukta så färskt och bra); det finns också ett uthus. Det finns gott om parkering för flera bilar. Det finns en landlinje telefon för lokalsamtal och begränsad långdistans, WiFi internet, 32 "Sony platt-TV w / DVD-spelare i nedre loftet (inga TV-kanaler, kabel eller satellit, bara för DVD-skivor), CD-spelare och skivspelare w / inspelning bara för gamla tider skull. Vi har också en samling av böcker, en del av lokala författare, och några brädspel för chansen regnig dag. Känn dig fri att lägga till ett skal eller två till vår monter soffbord i övre loftet eller en strand kamning fynd till vårt inträde sätt strand combers vägg. Du hittar också en kajak under huset som du kan använda under din vistelse ... Huvudsaken är att koppla av, ha roligt, njuta av den vackra naturen ...

    Observera att detta är en rustik beach house ...... inte en modern stad hem transporteras till vattnet .... vi kontinuerligt uppgraderar egenskapen men inte allt är "allt perfekt" ... även om vi fortsätta att göra förbättringar varje år .

    Observera också att den privata uppfart är lite grov och ojämn på platser. Du måste köra mycket långsamt och försiktigt för att undvika att skrapa bilens botten på uppfart eller buskar längs sidan av uppfarten.

    Lodge är inte så avlägset som det låter, är mycket nära en granne stuga och kan ses från däck och från den nedre sovloft burspråk, det finns en liten stuga i skogen upp vägen inte är synligt från huvudbyggnaden , andra ligger inom gångavstånd som är Gorge Marina med restaurang, små livsmedelsbutiker, pizzerior, bensin, och en ny vacker utomhuspool och badtunna med utsikt över hamnen / marinan och öppen för allmänheten. The Lodge ligger 2 1/2 miles från downtown Whaletown med regeringen docka, postkontor, kyrka och mini-bibliotek.

    När du tröttnar på att hänga ut runt Lodge, många utomhusrekreationsmöjligheter överflöd: fiske, båtliv, segling, kajakpaddling, vandring, cykling, simning på Marina poolen eller Hague Lake, Hollyhock reträtt center kurser, andra stränder att utforska, skate board park ...

I don't want to tell you how good it really was!

The place is even better than advertised. It's location is close to many great amenities on Cortes, including fairly close to the ferry, the grocery and a nice, dockside restaurant. Sue was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end, always highly responsive. Really, this place is so great I'd like to keep it a secret so we can easily book for years to come. Can't wait to come back!

A charming, well appointed cabin overlooking Gorge Harbour. We absolutely loved our time on Cortes: kayaking, hiking and exploring the beaches. Sue was great to deal with and very responsive. Dan, Jill and the doggos

One of our best vacations!

My family had one of the best vacations at Wilcox lodge. The cabin was clean, well stocked and the deck with the amazing views and hot tub were such a bonus. I would most definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. And they allowed our beloved puppy to join us!

Relaxing Spring Break with the Kids at the Beach

We had such a wonderful time at the cabin. So relaxing and fun and a perfect spring break. Enjoyed beach walks & play, exploring Gorge Harbour in our new inflatable boat, clam digging at Mansons, and doing some maintenance work around the place for my cousin Sue. The kids loved the Easter egg hunt & pancake breakfast with tug of war and other kids games. Coming back again next year. Kristy VN

A hidden gem amongst the island wilderness!

Our stay at the Wilcox Lodge was nothing short of magical. It's the kind of place where you feel totally one with nature. The huge deck offers amazing views of the surrounding ocean and the opportunity to watch all kinds of wildlife pass by. The sunsets were incredible!! The kayaks were so much fun to take out and to explore the coastline. A definite must if you're visiting. The spacious layout of the cabin allows for a perfect area for gatherings and lots of conversation pieces. We loved looking at all the eclectic decor! The free standing fireplace was a big hit with us as we had some rain one day and it made for a cozy evening curled up with a book and some tea. Sue looked after us so well and was available to answer any questions we had. If you're looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and find some serenity, this is the place to do so!! A little slice of heaven that you never want to leave. We feel lucky to have visited. Thanks Sue!!

Rustic

Having rented many cottages, apartments and homes worldwide, I feel I have a good grip on value for accommodation. This property is overpriced. The place was not particularly clean, cobwebs and dust throughout. The bedding was flannel (strange choice for the summer) and the towels were all mismatched and all we could find were hand towels in a chest. There are personal items in all the drawers, we kept our clothes in our suitcases. The beds were fairly comfortable. This property could be 5 star with just a little effort. The view is lovely.

The location and setting couldn't be beat, absolutely beautiful!

It's clear the cottage and island are both loved by the owner, this was reflected through the books both personal and historical that filled the book case. The cottage has all the necessities, kayak was a nice bonus, and the welcome gift of coffee and wine was a great surprise. We really appreciated being able to bring our dog and so did he. We would stay here again.

Beautiful cabin, wonderful views

What an amazing location for a cabin. The cabin is spacious and has everything that you need, a bit dated but this adds to the charm. Views from the hot tub are amazing and being able to Kayak to dinner at the marina a definite plus. We had a great time with 2 adults and 2 children. Sue was very responsive to my emails and phone call.

We love Sue's place so much! It is our 3rd time there! Very comfortable for ultimate relaxation. The harbour is full of surprises to watch from seals and birds to Orca's chasing in Seals! They hid under the Oyster rafts! Even saw a humpback whale on the ferry! What a magical place!

In a word - the Wilcox Lodge is - PARADISE !!

This is our second year in a row visiting Cortes Island and would not stay anywhere but the Wilcox Lodge. We are a family of 6 and the cabin has plenty of space for everyone ! The balcony is huge and has a fantastic view of the harbour - walk down the stairs right onto the beach - use the cabins kayaks and go explore the waters . Relax in the hot tub. There are lots of trails on Cortes for hikers and wonderful beaches - Hanks Beach, the beach at Hollyhock, Mansons Landing and Lagoon, Hague Lake and our favorite - Smelt Bay. As there are a couple of stores on the Island -but the selection is limited and quite expensive - I do recommend bringing your groceries with you. The cabin has a large fridge as well as a chest freezer. Sue is great to deal with - she responds to emails quickly and if any issues arise during your stay - there is a phone to call her and she will address them . The people on the island are very friendly - it is a quiet, serene and peaceful island - we will definitely be back next summer for our 3rd year in a row ;)

Heavenly peace and quiet

The cabin is tucked away in the woods with a deck that opens onto the bay. Hands down, it is the most peaceful and relaxing place I've stayed. With all windows open you feel as though you are outside even when you are inside. The moonlight view of the bay from the bed at night can't be beat. There is ample and comfortable sleeping for a family with multiple kids. Cortes is a nature-lover's paradise. My 2 young children, husband and I enjoyed shell seeking, berry-picking, swimming in the ocean and lake, and hiking. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from it all and find peace in nature.

Spectacular Gorge Harbor retreat

The setting of this cabin is incomparable. A beautiful large, sunny deck, with hot tub, overlooks the comings and goings of the harbor. The cabin itself is well equipped with tons of kitchen accessories and ample bedding and towels. A small deep freeze is handy for the fishers in the family. On-site kayaks are: 1 single and 1 double (however, there was only 1 paddle available for both)...it's fun to kayak over to the marina store, shop, rent videos and even partake in morning yoga at the resort! Lots of great kayaking at your doorstep in beautiful clear, calm waters. Easy access to bike trails, too, if that's your thing. We biked to Carrington Bay as well as the new Whaletown Commons, both starting from "home". We loved the master bedroom view of the harbor and didn't mind the curtain which acts as the separator to the higher loft bedroom. All beds are super comfy! If you like somewhat rustic cabins, no wifi, relaxing on decks while watching seals, boats and seaplanes, and having a central "base", then you will love Wilcox 1!

The views from Wilcox 1 are spectacular!

We have visited a few rental properties on Cortes and while this property needs more upgrading, it is a very comfortable spot with spectacular views of the harbour from the deck. This ultra quiet location has everything you need for a restful retreat from the hustle and bustle. We always enjoy the various markets on the island and the fun community activities as well the museums. We have recommended that the kayak launch on Wilcox 1 be worked on as it is currently difficult; therefore, until that is fixed you may wish to safely launch at the Gorge Harbour Marina, Hague Lake or a zillion other places. Wilcox 1 is a very clean property with the owners very conscientious about continually upgrading the property so that we can all have a grand holiday. Leave your cell phone, ipad and laptop at home! Get unplugged and return home refreshed. Wilcox 1 is a great place to meditate and reconnect with our Godself. I wish there were restaurants on Cortes that are vegan friendly.

Wilcox Cabin on Cortez Island, B.C.

Cute, roomy, funky cabin with a wonderful view of Gorge Harbour. Watch the boats to and from the Marina and hear no Marina noise :) watch the birds and seals, at low tide search the beach for sea creatures. LOVED every minute of it and will be back next summer. Cortez is a lovely peaceful and relaxing island. Really enjoyed the quiet and serenity.:)

The cabin is a little piece of paradise.

The cabin is located right on the water, perfect for collecting the oysters that you will have for dinner. From opening the door upon arrival, you feel the history and love that is in this family home. The mementoes and knick knacks that have been collected over time surround you in the unique structure of the cabin. The windows open to views that make you feel as if you are sleeping in a tree house with a view to the ocean. The island itself is a welcoming artsy place to spend time, make sure you attend the Sat market for local crafts and food. Great beaches to wonder and collect shells or have that romantic picnic. Or spend the day on the cabins deck and relax and read a book and have a dip in the hot tub.

Relaxing and Private Cabin on the Water

We bid on a one week stay on Cortes Island at the SRHS ArtQuest auction in 2013. Our winning bid meant both support for a great program and a wonderful vacation for us. My wife and I spent a tranquil and relaxing week at the Wilcox Lodge on Cortes Island. The house has a cozy cabin feel, especially when reading by the woodstove at night. The open floor plan makes it feel even larger than it is. There was just the two of us, so the lack of bedroom privacy was not an issue. It is something to consider if staying with more people, could be comfortable for a family. There is plenty of space to spread out, but not many walls. The house has lots of windows with views of the harbor. There is one neighbor nearby, yet the house feels completely private. The large deck and hot tub are great for relaxing, watching the tide come in and out, or enjoying a meal. We were there in June and had beautiful weather most days, just a little drizzle here and there. We saw eagles on the beach and in the trees, from the deck. The island is beautiful and the residents were all very friendly. We mostly cooked/grilled our own meals, but did have a wonderful dinner at The Cove restaurant in Squirrel Cove. For shopping on Cortes, there is a lot squeezed into the Co-op store and bakery, as well the other markets. That said if we go again we would likely stock- up more in Campbell River or on Quadra (more selection and better prices). There is a great little museum, in Manson’s Landing, with very friendly folks who have great tips on how to enjoy Cortes. We did a lot of hiking and beach walking. Kw’as Park is beautiful and the views from Green Mountain are spectacular. The ferry ride was part of the adventure too, and some sightseeing on Quadra Island is worth making time for.

Exactly the vacation I needed.

The cabin was rustic, but spacious and well laid out. We spent 5 days and it was the most relaxing trip I have taken in a long time. The view was amazing, and while the other cabins were close it wasn't intrusive. The king sized bed was unbelievably comfortable, and the island was dead quiet at night. I never slept so soundly. I would go again without hesitation.

Family Reunion

My family LOVED staying at this very spacious split level with a pretty beachfront, and windows with beautiful views in all directions. My husband and son used the hot tub every night, talking and watching the moon shine on the water. My sister and I had coffee every morning on the deck and enjoyed seeing the shore birds fishing for breakfast. There was room for us to spread out and have some time to ourselves or to be together. We had a wonderful, stress reducing and happy time at this lovely home on Cortes Island.

Beachfront paradise

Sue's holiday holiday home is a wonderfully quirky house in an idyllic setting on Cortes Island. The property is approached via a rough track that leads you through deeply shaded woods - don't be put off by the bumpy track, the tennant's shack, the outside drop toilet or the 'native' garden, the view and peace is well worth the effort. The house was clean and well appointed if a little tired - the setting over-shadows this and we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing few days in late July and enjoyed good weather, clear night skies, a full moon and plenty of wildlife - all magical memories that we will cherish. We would have loved to have stopped longer. Neighbouring marina / campsite good for 'crashing' the evening entertainment with camp store on-site for basics. Use of BBQ, vinyl record collection & player, hot-tub & kayaks added to the fun. Sue was very helpful and responded quickly to our queries. I'd recommend this property for those looking for something different.

Fantastic Visit to the Island

We had such a fantastic time at the Lodge! We completely relaxed and enjoyed the peaceful setting. We spent almost every waking moment out on the huge deck basking in the sunshine, enjoying the phenomenal view and even star gazing. The kayaks were a fun bonus (seal watching!) and made it so easy to zip down to the Marina store for groceries and a late afternoon ice cream! The owner was super helpful and really quick to reply to our questions on arrival. We look forward to going back again!

WILL DREAM OF CORTES ISLAND

My husband, daughter and I visited Cortes Island for the first time in August hoping to find an island that was a bit remote, quiet, laid back and scenic. Happily we found all of the above. Cortes is the perfect place to get away from the hub bub. After spending some time searching for the perfect place to stay, we settled on Wilcox Lodge as we were looking for a place with loads of character that felt more funky and charming as opposed to modern and luxe. Staying here felt like we staying at a well-loved cabin where everywhere we looked was a memento of years spent exploring this coastline. Our main goal while on Cortes was to find, cook and eat lots of oysters, clams and other seafood and we achieved this goal. The kitchen was fully stocked and we weren't wanting for any implement or tool and the gas grill was in good working order. As with any A-frame style house, the different levels are pretty "open." The second bedroom is only divided by a curtain that can be closed, but for us this was no problem. The main bedroom has a huge bed that looks out over the harbour and at night the view of the moon rising over the water was spectacular. Our favorite part of the house was the deck where we spent many hours just watching the boats and the kayaks coming in and out of the harbour. It was a perfect vantage point. We also loved exploring the rocky beach at low tide. Hanging out in the living room by the fire doing puzzles and listening to old albums was another favorite activity. Sue, the owner of Wilcox Lodge, was wonderful to work with and so quick to respond to every question and request. We couldn't have asked for a better property owner. All-in-all a great experience and look forward to visiting Wilcox Lodge again soon!

Beautiful spot

My husband and I stayed at Wilcox Lodge for a week. The house was quiet and peaceful. We walked on the beach, kayaked, found hundreds of brilliant purple starfish, and sat with the deer - all without leaving the property! We so enjoyed our stay - Cortes is a wonderful spot - serene and lovely. I highly recommend it. And Wilcox Lodge is charming and welcoming. We lit a fire in the fireplace as it was cool in the evenings and were warm and cozy. Full moon over the Gorge Harbor inlet was romantic. Dinners on the deck were wonderful. I can't wait until we return! Thank you for a great vacation.
