Oceanfront Hemlock Suite • Hot Tub + Sauna • Pet Friendly

Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape.

Featuring four fully contained, private suites, Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka & Heron, it's perfectly located between Powell River & Lund. Explore kayaking, mountain biking & climbing, fishing, hiking, or wander beaches, visit breweries & browse artisan markets.

Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna (extra), or gather at the beach fire pit. A tranquil retreat to recharge and reconnect.

Welcome to the Hemlock Suite, located on the top floor of our beachfront house—a fully private 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel at home in this thoughtfully designed space. With a full kitchen, spacious living areas, and fireplaces for cozy evenings, Hemlock promises a relaxing stay for you and your companions.

Set on 1.2 acres of lush greenery with stunning ocean views and the snow-capped mountains of Vancouver Island as your backdrop, Hemlock offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility.

Please Note: The Hemlock Suite is located above the Cedar Suite in house #3935. While the building is well-insulated, some sound may travel between levels. We kindly ask all guests to be mindful of noise to ensure a peaceful stay for everyone.

As your hosts, we’re available to ensure you have a comfortable and memorable stay. We respect your privacy but are always just a message away.

Guests enjoy full access to all of Arbutus Cove Retreat’s outdoor amenities.

Shared spaces include the beach area, sunset deck, BBQ pergola, and cozy fire pits.

The oceanfront hot tub is available by appointment, while our glass-panel sauna is offered as an optional add-on (extra $15/hour). Refresh with the outdoor shower and invigorating bucket splash, or take a rejuvenating plunge into the ocean.

Please note: advance booking via our website is required for both the hot tub and sauna to ensure availability, privacy, and a personalized experience.

We are 100% available by phone or text.

The property has 3 suites in total:

Lower suite (Cedar Suite) - sleep 6 people

Upper suite (Hemlock Suite) - sleeps 6 people

Studio suite (Heron Suite) - sleeps 2 people

Ideally situated half way between Powell River and Lund, 15 minutes each way. A beautiful tranquil place for you, your family and friends to escape into the stunning Pacific Northwest!

Although Powell River is on the mainland, it will require a couple of ferry rides (Horseshoe Bay to Langdale and Earl's Cove to Saltery Bay) to get to it because it is not directly linked with the rest of the provincial road network.

By Air: Pacific Coastal Airways & Habour Air

By Car / Ferry: BC Ferries

In the summer months it’s a good idea to make a ferry reservation from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. Reservations are not available on the 2nd leg, from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay.

Parking is available on the property, in front of the suites.

Habour Air has started flying between downtown Vancouver and Powell River! Powell River dock is located on Powell Lake, adjacent to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, approximately 10-minute drive to the city-centre of Powell River. Check-in at the reception of the Shinglemill Pub and Bistro.

A wonderful experience

Our extended family stayed in the Hemlock and Cedar Suites. The accommodation was perfect for our families; the kitchen and living areas were very well equipped and large enough for us all and the beds were very comfortable. The location in the water is gorgeous- and the beach fire was a bonus. Thank you Sean and Jennifer.

If you are looking for a quiet getaway on the water, this is it. Our family took up the whole compound, all 4 units and we had the best time. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The weather couldn’t have been better. Lots of bald eagles and deer

Seaside luxury

This suite was amazing with gorgeous oceanfront view. Everything there was top notch quality. Lots of special touches to make our stay memorable. Perfect place to decompress. We saw otters, eagles, black tail deer, seals and dolphins while sipping amazing BC blackberry and blueberry wine on the front deck. The sauna and hot tub were also wonderful. Jennifer and Sean were the best hosts. It doesn’t get any better than that !! Thank you for making our stay amazing for a very much needed trip away.

The BEST Powell River Vacation Rental

We’ve stayed in pretty much every rental accommodation in the Powell River area, and this was by far the best! Amazing views, great location, and especially the quality of the rental itself are what stood out. We’ll be back, and would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Stunning Views

We cannot say enough good things about Arbutus Cove Resort. The Hemlock Suite had amazing views of the bay, islands and snow capped mountains on Vancouver Island. There was a rocky beach with a hot tub and sun deck right in front. The space was skillfully designed and well-appointed. We watched humpback whales and seals from the expansive deck. We will definitely stay again!
