About this property

Tucked In The Rainforest, Across The Road From Tofino's Best Surf! Soaker Tub!

Tofino Tree House was built in 2006 with the lumber harvested from the property and milled onsite. This unique house was hand crafted by local artisans. Located on an acre of coastal rainforest, this west coast timber frame home offers 2 bedrooms plus a semi-open sleeping loft, and can accommodate six adults.
The kitchen's focal point is the organic concrete table with seating for six. It comes fully equipped with all culinary needs, dishwasher, refrigerator, and gas oven.
Take your cooking outside on the 1000 square foot wrap around deck with a barbecue, or have an evening out around the fire pit.

Enjoy the heated wet-room, relaxing in the big soaker tub, (constructed from a surgical pasteurizer), with a view of the forest through the double glass doors, or swing the doors open to enjoy the fresh forest air!

Magic Treehouse

Kaeli’s home is magical, and she is an awesome host to boot! The home was clean, cared for, and cozy. Kaeli was easy to contact and communicate with and an excellent host. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. So grateful to have enjoyed the experience of the tree house and Tofino. Neither disappoints.

Queit, tranquil stay!

My kids and I came to Tofino to surf and relax. We stayed in treehouse and did just that! The home is peaceful and quiet. The location is walking distance to Chesterman and Cox Bay beaches and closer if we had bikes. Check in was so easy and Haeli is a delight to communicate with!

Beautiful Home with a Great Location!

We stayed here after our wedding last September long weekend with our friends and an infant. The house is very clean and beautiful. The beds were comfortable and there was enough room for 6 adults. The property is centrally located and yet still feels off the beaten path. Gorgeous outdoor seating area and the tub/shower room are next level! We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us.

Family surf vacation

The Treehouse is such a gem. The energy and the space were so Westcoast. The location was perfect. The beds were so comfortable. The layout of the house was fabulous for 6 adults. The tub room was such a wonderful spot to enjoy warm conversations after a surf listening to the rainfall on the skylight. Thank you. We will be back!

Magical property!

What a lovely and unique house. It is filled with beautiful, hand-built details and comfortable furnishings. There are tons of windows, letting the surrounding greenery and sun in. It’s not super big, but the way it is laid out and set up utilizes the space well, and everyone had a place to be alone as well as together as a family. Beds and linens were comfortable, and towels were plush and plentiful. The kitchen was well equipped with both cookware in good condition (Sometimes hard to find in a rental), as well as dinnerware, utensils and the essentials for cooking. The surroundings are magical- surrounded by forest, close to the beach. Kaeli and John were warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to provide us with up to date information about a road closure, and even adjusted the length of our stay due to the closure, despite being out of the cancellation window. One of the best VRBO stays I’ve had-I would highly recommend staying here!

Not a Warm Welcome

The property itself was a quiet and uniquely designed retreat. However our stay of three nights, The property manager welcome was not to show us the property but to make their problems our problems by not getting services fixed in a timely manner. This made the overall experience not great as the internet and TV could not work at the same time and we were constantly changing the cabling back and forth as cell service and network availability is spotty at best in this location. Inaddition, there is no microwave available in the facility so if you are looking to warm things up it is not available. Using the BBQ the tank ran dry as soon as I started it along with not having a lighter that worked in the whole house it was at times a trying experience. It was also my responsiblity to disconnect the tank and reconnect a full tank. It made us feel like we were not wanted guests as common items like these should be checked, especially when you are paying the kind of money expected by this owner. A fire pit was available but you are expected to bring your own wood or go to the local gas station for $10 bundles which lasts 5 minutes. Again, the expectation is when you offer a feature to your property you should be able to supply the resource to use it. Not for you to have another inconvenience of trying to source a local solution. I hope the owner takes these comments seriously as it could be a remarkable experience to stay here.

Tucked away in the rainforest

We loved our stay at the treehouse! It’s a private little oasis tucked into a beautiful westcoast rainforest. And close enough to walk to Cox Bay to watch the surfers and explore the beach. Our teenaged daughters loved the loft bedrooms in the treehouse. The wet room with large tub, heated floors and shower was a big hit. Especially after surf lessons. Highly recommend surf sisters private lessons held on Cox Bay. We had a great time, family 4. We loved our stay and are already planning a trip back!

About the host

Hosted by Kaeli Robinsong

Host profile image
My husband Jason and I (Kaeli) moved to Tofino in 2009, as we wanted to live somewhere with a strong sense of community, where we could raise a family and surf year round. We opened up a food truck and have been living the dream ever since, with our 2 kids who love to surf! We live on the property, (on the other side of the trees), and will be happy to answer any of your questions, give recommendations, or point you in the right direction!

Why they chose this property

We love this this property for its unique and beautiful structures, lush vegetation, privacy, proximity to the beach, and awesome neighbours throughout the forest!

What makes this property unique

Tofino tree house is tucked in the rainforest that spans the distance between the Pacific west coast, and the inlet side of the peninsula. It is just across the road from Cox Bay, so the surf is a 5 minute walk from the doorstep. This is a truly unique and very private home with 3 queen sized beds (plus a single fold-out if needed), one bathroom, cozy living room with flatscreen cable tv, fully equipped kitchen with gas stove, dish washer and full sized fridge, heated floors throughout, and a heated slate wet room with shower and giant soaker tub. Outside, enjoy the sprawling, wraparound deck with sunken fire pit and bbq, surrounded by cedar trees, but only a short walk from the beach.
