The Yellow House sits on an expanse of private land, surrounded by trees and an air of calm. Except for the occasional visit by deer, you can stay here in total seclusion, yet it's only a ten-minute walk to the Gumboot Cafe and other services if the mood takes you. A ten-minute walk in the other direction gives you beach access. There's a hot tub, a wood burner, cozy nooks and comfy places to read, write, or do nothing. It's a haven for creative thinking - you'll find there's something about this place that brings on the ideas. And if you love reading, stretch out on a sofa or garden chair, and enjoy a book from The Little Library of The Yellow House. If you're not really into writing, reading or doing nothing, don't worry, you'll be cured during your stay.

There are three bedrooms - two have queen beds and one is set up as a writing room/study, with the sofa turning into a futon bed to sleep one. It also has a walk-in closet with a place to hang clothes. The house sleeps 5 adults max. I don't take big groups.

    charming, cozy cabin in the woods but also Very near the water. Great location where we walked to shops, and some food places. And lucky us! Slow Sunday with music was in July. Free concert by local folks. The Yellow House, has a great kitchen and dinning room table. My bed was comfortable.

    Overall its an older place that needs some work. cleanliness could have been better. ( spider webs, dust and dirt under beds ). Windows were hard to open and close and back door had to be pulled shut , handle had to be pushed down and locked everytime or would open up. Unfortunately i think it doesn't quite match the price point, a bit overpriced. Yard could have been more sight esthetic. Does have good amenities. Close to gibson, sechelt, beach. Beautiful area. Peaceful. With a few fixer uppers, cute little house.

    Well -equipped kitchen. Close to Robert’s Creek village and amenities. Lovely location . I sense the property would be spectacular in the summer.

    Great accommodation!! Warm and cozy retreat complete with a hot tub. The home is extremely well stock with anything you might need. Even an abundance of candles in case the power goes out. Jackie thinks of everything!!

    What a beautiful setting for my family to come visit me. The house and garden were perfect, large open kitchen and dining room meant that we could prepare our own meals and play board games in the evenings. The location was perfect can walk to a small store, coffee shops, the beach so easily. Thank you for everything Jackie.

    Definitely more rustic than I hoped. Nice area with the kitchen, wood stove and eating area. However the master bed is not great as it sags badly leaving me and my partner jammed together. Luckily we are smaller people since the en-suite toilet is too small for larger individuals. Also the BBQ is a camping model and very small. If you don’t have a fire going you must run the very loud heater in the dining room. Lastly, the main frying pan, which we used a lot, doesn’t work great and you need to use a good deal of oil and still everything sticks to it. Loved the area, just wish the home was better set up as a proper rental.

    We had planned a weekend in Roberts Creek - my brother had rented a place nearby and we found the Yellow House. We went out exploring in the daytimes and stayed in on the evenings. Great proximity to Roberts Creek - walkable. Comfortable beds. Loved the wood stove given the frosty evenings in late November. Our sons report the hot tub was nice - late November was not my ideal weather so my wife and I didn't have a dip. Some really amazing hikes in the recommendations from the owner. Liked Cliff Gilker for example. Each day I made a coffee and walked down to the water for dawn, watching herons, eagles and otters as the sun came up over the water.

    Great property and family friendly. Lots of great games and puzzles to play. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate. A little too long a walk to the beach with small children on the roadway for our comfort. Bathroom sink drainage slow, probably needs a plunger to it. Also my grandson accidentally took the directions for the Bananagram game with his games. Is there a mailing address we can send it to?

    Comfortable home in quiet, serene setting. Great jumping off point for exploring both Gibson’s and Sechelt.

    Potential is there but a deep clean is necessary. More instructions would be helpful for what bedding is available for the fold out couch. Full propane bottles would have been appreciated on our arrival rather than having to go out and purchase them. We loved the spot annd the quaintness of the setting.
