Great place to stay

We are a family of four with two teens and we had a very pleasant stay of four nights. The cabin is small but bright and clean. The island is really beautiful. We brought our own bikes from home and roamed all over. It's just the right size for biking and the people are very friendly. We should have brought paddleboards or something like that too. Great cabin and a great place!

Loved the Breathing Cabin

Very relaxing and tranquil. Great location close to beaches on both sides of island and equidistant to either end. Welcoming to both us and our dogs. Helen had terrific islands insights as she lives there most of the season and has for 14 years. Also offered use of their 2 bikes and viewing deck.

Cute cabin

We appreciate the comfy beds up in the loft and the provided bikes, but we find this cabin a bit noisy, and a bit small for our family of 4. Overall, this cabin is cute and comfortable, and we enjoyed our week long vacation in Savary Island.

Beautifully located

We stayed for 3 days. Small cozy cabin located in the woods. Excellent location for easy access to beach and about a half hour walk to Indian Point. Owners live beside the cabin and kindly allowed us access to their BBQ and were incredibly helpful when needed.

Nice cabin on a wonderful island, but some communication issues

We enjoyed our stay: Savary Island is a wonderful place (5 stars!). The cabin is well located, in a cedar and fir grove, and the beach is not too far away (only a 10 minute walk). Our host responded to our emails quickly, but was not always clear about what was available in the cabin (for ex. it was not clear that sheets were not provided). Other things were not provided, ex. a bath mat in the bathroom, scrub brush in the kitchen. We did bring our own bath towels, but coming to the island without a car, and having to bring enough food for our stay was already a lot to carry. It is not realistic to expect visitors to bring bedding and bathroom/kitchen staples. At the very least, it should be clearly listed on the website. As well, the website said we should contact the host for wi-fi, but when we did, we were told that it was not available. Again, it would have been nice to post this information on the website.

Savary Get Away

We'd been planning our visit to the island for a long time and were delighted with our experience. The card, wine and chocolate were wonderful anniversary surprises and we greatly appreciated Bart bringing us some milk. The property is close to 2 popular beaches and we enjoyed those every day.

Comfortable little spot on Savary

First time visiting Savary and loved the community feel and laid back vibe. This vacation rental is great for visiting Mermaid and Sutherland trail. Not close to the store so make sure to bring everything you need. We really enjoyed using the bikes to go for sunset at the western end of the island. Helen was a friendly and accommodating host.

Quiet and Relaxing

The property was in an excellent location, and we were able to use the owners’ bikes, allowing us to reach all our intended destinations on the island. Bart was very knowledgeable about the island and provided excellent suggestions, allowing us to explore places we otherwise would not know about! The cabin was clean, well-stocked, and we were able to enjoy the ocean view front deck every morning.

A little slice of paradise!

The Breathing Cabin was the perfect family escape. Getting back to basics, playing board games, biking around the island, finding all the ice cream spots, and just switching off! The cabin has everything you need nothing more which is what we wanted! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. The cabin itself had such a great vibe. The location was perfect for us, mid island, privately nestled in the forest, close to south and north beaches. Bart was awesome and was there if we needed anything. We will be back but next time for longer! Thanks Bart and hope to meet you next time Helen.

Amazing cabin on the lovely Savary Island

This wonderful cabin is a gem of a find on the wonderful Savary Island. Bart and Helen were amazing hosts and incredibly attentive to us throughout our entire stay. The cabin is ample and beautifully decorated, it really made us feel at home. It has large bay windows (with appropriate blinds to provide shade) which let you really soak in the lush trees and make you feel like you are in a tiny oasis in the island forest. The kitchen is very clean, well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, utensils etc. and a working propane fridge and stove. The bathroom is also very comfortable and clean, with a strong shower to rinse off after long days lounging on the beach. The location is fantastic and centrally located. Mermaid Rock Beach is a 5-10 minute walk (even faster on bikes), and Sutherland beach a 5-8 minute walk in the opposite direction. Indian point /Meadows/etc. are also very easily accessible on foot or bike from here. The cabin is nestled in some large trees which provide tons of cooling shade on those ultra hot days. There is a massive deck/patio which wraps around the cabin on which you can sunbathe, dry your wet stuff, or simply take in the views. They have even provided a nice wood picnic table and some built in benches the patio so you can have some nice meals/drinks outside. You can even get a good view of the sunset from the deck through the trees, where you are also treated to a refreshing sea breeze in the evenings. Although some of the reviews state that the location is not accurate, this is simply not true. The cabin is between Vancouver Blvd and Savary Island road, and in a prime location. We were able easily beach hop around the island with our dog during our stay here. We booked a land transfer service which has us at the cabin doorstep within 20 minutes of arriving on the island with all of our stuff. If you are at all hesitant about booking a stay a this place due to it being far from the docks, we found it very easy to book all our needs through Savary Island Ferry. They coordinated our water taxi, land transfer and parking in one booking, getting all of our stuff from our car to the cabin right on schedule. All in all, our stay here was lovely. Our only regret is not having booked a longer stay!

Family Getaway

We stayed in Helen's cabin for 4 nights at the end of August and it was the perfect spot for our family (2 young children & dog). Easy walk (5-10 mins) to some of the Island's most beautiful beaches. We brought our vehicle over on the barge thankfully, as it would have been quite the trek to the Rigger's store from the cabin with our kids. Look forward to staying here again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by helen whitaker

Host profile image
I found this cute cozy cabin 9 years ago. It is situated between 2 outstanding beaches on a wooded lot with another cabin. I bought both..I use the other one for personal use-mostly 1 husband 2 teenage sons and 2 teenage daughters lol. I have been in love with Savary for years, and couldn't quite believe how lovely this spot is. We live across the water fromSavary, on Vancouver island, and get to look at its beautiful shores everyday from my home beach. I'm an optician and my hubby is a plumber-we work hard to keep a little piece of heaven on our doorstep.

Why they chose this property

The craftsmanship of this cabin really caught my eye-the staircase is so pretty, and everything has been so well made. It just nestles in the woods between two magnificent beaches with amazing views-too easy.

What makes this property unique

Access to everything Savary has to offer from magnificent beaches to some pretty serious hiking and biking.The large deck is fabulous for outdoor eating and entertaining-the cabin was once the Chocolate Lily-an infamous restaurant on Savary-!
