Michel's Cabin, Tofino B.C.

Unique cabin right on chesterman beach ! Incredible view and amazing beach. Very cozy

Michel’s Cabin was the perfect hideaway to enjoy Tofino. Spectacular views and had everything we needed for a wonderful, peaceful break!

Nice location

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Michel's Cabin. Right on Chesterman Beach, it was a perfect getaway with the family. Everything was clean and comfortable.

We loved our stay at Michel’s cabin! It’s charming, cozy, has everything you could possibly need, and was the perfect amount of space for two of us. We especially appreciated the cabin and hot tub being warm on our arrival. The location is unbeatable. Being only steps from the beach (and a perfect beginner surf spot) completely changed our Tofino experience. We could walk out with our boards, surf, then jump straight into the hot tub to warm up and recover, which actually let us head back out for second sessions both days. That alone made it worth it.It’s also close to rental shops, Tofitian Coffee, and Wildside Grill, which made everything easy. One of the best surprises was the view of the stars from the upstairs bed. We thought the cabin had already shown us all its magic, and then that first night we looked up and were in awe star-gazing. Even though it’s attached to the main home, it felt totally private and quiet. Coffee, surf, hot tub, sunsets.. it was perfect. We’d absolutely come back!

The location is amazing at Michel's Cabin. We had a stunning sunset our first night! There is a little pathway down to Chesterman beach so it is easy to grab a surfboard and get out on the water. It's also close to Tacofino and a nice little cafe called the Tofitian.The cabin itself is very rustic and gives total West Coast vibes. The only things we didn't enjoy about the cabin were the that the lights weren't very cozy (very white and not enough lighting throughout) and it was very cold when we got there. That wouldn't be such a problem except that the check in is at 4pm so the cabin didn't have time to warm up the first night. It was late November, so it would have been nice to have some heat already on when we got there. Sadly, the hot tub wasn't that clean and there were some hairs floating around from the previous renters. Also, the stairs inside the cabin are very steep, but not really an issue unless you have mobility issues.Overall, we had a good experience at Michel's cabin!

We enjoyed our time. It was very stormy which was a plus. The stairs into the cabin were difficult for me as I have MS. Very nice being so close to the beach.

Another incredible stay at Michel’s cabin. Best location and an amazing experience thanks so much.

My wife, two kids and I were in Nanaimo for a week for one of my lifting competitions and we really wanted a place for a few days to wind down with beach access before heading home. We highly recommend Michels Cabin. Michel worked very hard to not only build the cabin itself but also was so creative with the walkway down to the beach and the garden surrounding the house. The place was clean, had 4 beds and awesome views from the deck facing the ocean. Never had an issue during our stay and communication from the property managers via email ahead of time was great (check in process, traffic updates etc.) We will book here again when back in Tofino

All round magnificent

Fantastic location and the view from hot tub was amazing. This is my second stay and fully intend to book again .

This is our 6th year and we absolutely love it!

Amazing

This is our 4th time staying at Michel's cabin. It's a fantastic location, with a great host, and we'll be back again.

Amazing stay, Michel has built this cosy home himself, and recycles everything he can find on the beach, while providing us surf planks for the kids.The location on the beach has one of the most wonderful views in the world

The place is great, charming and the view is amazing. Falling asleep with the sound of the ocean was wonderful. I would absolutely stay again. Only 8 minute drive to Tofino was very practical. My kids did not want to leave. L’endroit est parfait surtout pour une famille de quatre comme nous. La plage est magnifique et moins achalandée que Long beach. Nous avions l’impression d’avoir une plage privée.Thanks

Always an exceptional experience…our 7th time staying at the property. We would never consider staying anywhere else!

We loved this little rustic cabin. Wonderful views and it had everything we needed.

One-of-a-kind cabin built by hand with a lot of character and charm. Absolutely idyllic spot. Very private and quiet and yet in the heart of everything — steps from the beach, and a short walk from coffee, baking, tacos, homemade ice cream, and surf rentals. Beautiful yard that’s been similarly tended with a lot of care. It was definitely at the upper limit of our budget, but we could not have asked for more.

Great spot. Classic Chesterman Beach.

This place is a gem. The cabin itself has so much character and the grounds were beautiful and unique. The location was perfect. We rented bikes and didn’t even use our rental car for 2 days. Just a short bike ride to Tofino and even less to some restaurants and a small market. Only suggestion would be to clarify ahead of time that the cabin is attached to the owners house and the beach access is around the side of the owners house. Once we figured that out it was all perfect! Would definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Tofino!

Despite some torrential rain (it is early April and Vancouver Island after all), Michel's Cabin was a treat to experience. It's rustic charm suited us just fine -- so anyone looking for a Four Seasons type experience should pass on this spot. The big bonus is the view and direct connection to the waterfront -- we spent several sessions in what I dubbed The Lifeguard Chair taking in the panorama. Hoping to return again soon.

An amazing cabin, perfectly kept, in a gorgeous location. Couldn’t recommend more.

Had a great vacation at the cabin. The location is incredible and could not be better in Tofino. Beach access out the back door to Chesterman beach. Rental was comfortable for our family of 4. Thanks for an amazing stay.

This property was exactly as described and what we needed to destress and enjoy a bit of down time away from our real life. We will be back as often as possible. Thanks so much for sharing it.

I messaged the property management about any concerns and they got back to me right away. You cannot beat the view and being steps away from the ocean, on North Chesterman Beach. If guests are sleeping up in the attic during the wet and lower temps, put the heat on as soon as you arrive.

We had a great time. The view was amazing and the beach access was great. Stairs steep to loft, some towels very old and tired, broken washing machine.

Great surfing at Coxbay

Excellent location, absolutely stunning spot. Cabin is capital R rustic- kitchen is a hodge lodge, beds are not great quality and shower has had an odd fix so that you have to stand against the curtain to be under the water. Would be great if there was an outdoor shower for after surfing, using the garden hose on the lawn was not great.

Excellent location for Tofino - thanks for a great visit!

This was our third trip to Tofino and we chose Michel’s cabin for its location in our favorite beach. It did not disappoint! The view from the deck was amazing and a path on the property offered quick access to the beach. The cabin itself was full of charm and offered all the amenities that we needed on our stay.

The 3 nights at Michel's cabin was exactly the calm we needed after the frenetic trip through the Rockies. Listening to the sound of the waves lull you to sleep and the view from the hot tub was priceless. We BBQ'd on the back deck and ate on the front deck whilst watching the surfers. The location is exceptional.
