A vista of majestic snow capped mountains, glittering sunlight and long magenta sunsets awaits you. Lapping waves, resident sea lions and wind soughing through fir, oak and arbutus trees provide you with nature’s lulling symphony.
A cozy haven to enjoy winter storms, just over an hour from Mount Washington, the Cabin’s living area includes vaulted ceiling, glowing wood beams, swivel mounted flat screen HD T.V. antique brick fireplace with thermostat controlled gas insert.
The Cabin delivers an authentic ambiance along with all the modern conveniences including three bedrooms (queen, queen and bunk bed), one bathroom (tub/shower) and a large living-dining-kitchen area with spectacular views.

We are return guests and enjoy the location and amenities at the cabin! Unreal Southwest, ocean, mountain views. We look forward to staying at the property again in the future.
We couldn’t be happier with our stay in this lovely, roomy cabin with a fantastic view out of large windows and from a spacious deck. With a well supplied kitchen - these owners have made an excellent effort to supply everything someone could need. We will definitely return someday and highly recommend this home.
Beach good for swimming at high tide. Bedrooms very tight but great bed and new crisp bedding .
Cabin very well equipped with everything you could want . Private location and private beach
Best couch ever
This place is just what you want when you say relaxing vacation.Had great weather and relaxed well in the cabin with everything you need at your fingertips. Comfy beds, easy kitchen and amazing scenery from all directions. Saw the pod of orcas again this year...soooo exciting along with lots of eagles in the tall trees. Played Bocci and Croquet for hours. And love eating dinner every night on the deck at the picnic table rail enjoying that view. We will be back next year. Thanks again!
We absolutely loved this cabin. The way it was decorated made it homey and the gas fireplace made it warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable. The cabin was stocked with all the cooking gear and other supplies that we needed. But our favorite thing was the view. From the deck in the warmth of the day or from the large window across from the sofa when it was a little chilly outside there were spectacular views of water, mountains, sunsets and wildlife - deer, seals and sea lions, and lots of birds, including a bald eagle who perched in a tree on the property for a while one morning. And yet it’s just a short drive to shops and restaurants if you need them. I’d definitely recommend this property.
This was a perfect location for our stay in this area. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. Lots of animal activity with deer stopping by every day including a mother with 2 fawns. Bald eagles, herons, seals and rabbits were all in the area.
No doubt about who we are sharing the space with. Especially the eagle makes things clear.

Panabode Cabin
A clean & cozy cabin with beautiful evening light and lovely sunsets. Our kids enjoyed playing in the ocean in front of the cabin and swimming to nearby pebble beach. Great deck with lots of sun & big yard for outdoor play.
We came as a family to grieve the loss of a loved one. Came from the Yukon, Idaho, Okanagan, and Victoria. It was sweetly comfortable space be together. To laugh, cry play and remember. Amenities were complete and first rate. As if this was our home. Brian was a compassionate responsive host.
The cabin was comfortable and had even more amenities than we needed. The tidal pools were great for exploring and learning and the wildlife sitings were a joy to see. Next time, I'll remember to wear socks or pants when walking in the long grass to save my ankles from the gnat bites. We would definitely stay here again!
You leave the world behind completely. It's a little piece of heaven with many of God's creatures ▶️playing outside beside you.

Nature Therapy
This cabin is in a wonderful setting. We relished hours a day on the semi shaded deck with mountain views beyond the lapping waves, cool breezes, grazing deer and bald eagle sightings. The interior is cozy and kept beautifully. Beds are comfortable. Everything we needed in good working order. We took day trips to Gabriola Island, Cathedral Grove, Milner House and Garden, Coombs, Parksville and Qualicum. Terrific vacation.

Sunny, Relaxing Holiday
We had a lovely second visit to the Pan Abode. We brought our bikes and explored all the public access beaches in the neighbourhood including Wall Beach across the bay. Like last year, the cabin was spotless & the sunsets were beautiful. We all enjoyed the spaciousness of the property and the huge deck - great for reading, eating & playing cards. The children (7 & 11) swam several times a day. Thanks for having us!

We had a great stay. Cabin is clean, and comfortable. The setting on the water is truly amazing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay at the cabin...and our first visit to Vancouver Island. The location outside Nanoose Bay is great for exploring the island, although a bit farther from Victoria itself, we spent more time on the nearby beaches and in the forests of the interior. The setting is incredible, private and right on the water with sightings of birds, seals and dolphins...and amazing sunsets. The cabin has everything, including comfortable indoor and outdoor space, and we were very pleased with the layout and available space for the square footage. It is up to date, clean and very comfortable. We hope to return some day.
