About this property
Retro Retreat Cabin. Step back in time on Bowen Island.
Step back in time to the 1970's in this meticulously maintained cosy cabin. Nestled in the trees and looking out over treetops to the ocean, this cabin is the perfect combination of cosy and expansive. Avocado bath sets and retro wallpaper, entering this house is literally stepping onto a film set. Used for films set in the 70's the carefully preserved retro aesthetic really makes you feel like you have stepped into a time gone by. The perfect retro retreat from today's busy world.
The Retro Retreat Cabin includes beautiful cedar panelling throughout with 10ft ceilings on the main floor, 18 ft vaulted ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms and plenty of windows to offer lots of light.
The kitchen, diner and living room are all open plan, featuring floor length windows and doors opening out onto a deck that looks out across the ocean. The kitchen is fully fitted out with everything you might need for your stay. The living room has a propane fireplace set against a feature brick wall, with bricks restored and salvaged from an old brick building in Victoria.
With 3 bedrooms in total, there is one double bedroom on the main floor that is tucked away to offer ample privacy, as well as a full bathroom featuring a bath and shower. Upstairs are two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, both with queen beds. The master bedroom, located at the back of the house features its very own private balcony with ocean views. There is an additional half bathroom to serve the two bedrooms upstairs.
Outside you can find a grassy spot set between trees with seats looking out to the ocean.
