Huge first growth cedars grow all around and the property
is very private. The cabin is completely winterized and for
the energetic a hot tub followed by a swim and a sauna in
the winter months is very invigorating.
The
cabin has a large balcony overlooking the beautiful sandy
beach and private dock and incredible perennial flower garden.
We have had comments from past guests such as "this view
is like looking at a natural wonder" and "I have only
seen a landscape like this in a "Brian Scott painting".
Across the the road at
the top of our driveway is a trail through the woods perfect
for mountain biking and jogging .You can pick chanterelles
in season or walk to the tennis courts.
Across
the lake is Fossli Provincial
Park (logging road or water access) with a wonderful hike
to a beautiful waterfall. Many people catch trout in the
lake. The Alberni Inlet (fifteen minutes away) is famous for
its Sockeye run and the Stamp River (ten minutes away) is
famous for it's steelhead run each fall. Many guides and charters
are available.
Down the road five minutes
are two tennis courts and Port Alberni has others and also
an eighteen hole gold course with surprizingly reasonable
rates.
It is very possible to
take a day trip to Tofino from our cabin as Tofino is only
one hour and fiteen minutes away. You will find that Sproat
Lake enjoys hot summer temperatures and clear weather while
Tofino is often shrouded by drizzle and fog. Try a day trip
to Bamfield on the day freighter the Lady Rose or tour the
Broken Islands by kayak from the Lodge in Sechart Channel.
Why not do your site seeing from a comfortable and very special
home base!
