Don and Sylvia’s place is absolutely beautiful—fully equipped, spotless, and incredibly cozy. We had a wonderful stay, and it was so peaceful being right by the ocean. They were warm, welcoming hosts, and we truly appreciated their hospitality. Thank you—we hope to return someday!

Great space, beautiful nature and amazing hosts

Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Thank you to Sylvia and Don for the space. Warm floors and great coffee alone would make this a great stay, but add to that ocean view, well stocked kitchen and even bowls for the dog. Thank you and hope we get to visit Powell River again.

Relaxing getaway

Sylvia and Don were amazing hosts! My husband and I stayed with our 19 year old and our large dog. We all felt welcomed and were incredibly comfortable in Sylvia’s cozy cabin. It was perfect for relaxing and exploring beautiful Powell River. The view and beach access were amazing, even in December. We will definitely return!

The cottage was lovely, clean and had all the amenities we could possibly need. Hosts were very gracious and helpful, accommodating and understanding of our dogs, when they barked at passerbys from the homes on and around the property. The pups enjoyed having some offleash time on the beach, where they could swim and play. The beach was easy to access via a staircase - water shoes are recommends as the beach is quite rocky. Having access to an EV charger was amazing, Thanks for hosting us!

Beautiful cottage stay

Sylvia and Don's cottage was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. We loved the location: close to town, but a little out of the way and with access to the water. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the eagles swoop in and out of the trees and down to the water. The cottage is well appointed and very clean and comfortable. It's always a bonus to find places where our dog is also welcome!

Awesome place!!!!

We had a marvellous stay - so much so that we stayed an extra day! Hosts were so accommodating to us and our dogs. Facilities are beautiful. Fully stocked with everything you need for a vacation. We came from Campbell River for a few days to visit friends and every single place was close-by! Will definitely highly recommend and will stay again!

Felt like home

What a wonderful place to stay. It was clean and had everything you needed to have a comfortable time. Sat at the table, looking out over the water, watching the dolphins and walked down to the beach with Eagles soaring over our heads. You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful spot. The cottage was so well stocked and so well cared for. Our family really enjoyed our time. Highly recommended

Cozy cottage for our short stsy

This is a lovely cottage with lots of amenities including very convenient laundry facilities. It was too cold, rainy and windy to really enjoy the waterfront location but would like to return in nicer weather. Our only problem was getting the TV to work properly but Sylvia tried her best to help with that.

I have found my happy place

Our hosts, Don and Sylvia were so gracious and down to earth we felt we knew them for a very long time , not just 5 days. The cottage was charming, homey and had everything one could possibly ask for. The beach front location awesome. We felt as one with nature high in the tree tops with eagles and other birds. Can't say enough good things about our wonderful getaway. Have already made arrangements to come back in the fall.

Relaxing time

We stay one week at Sylvias Cottage. We have a relaxed time. Eveything was as described and shown on the photos. Our expectation was satisfied. We enjoy the deck and the opportunity to go down to the beach. Sylvia was available if required. We would like to come back.
