Sturdies Bay Ski Chalet | InTheBluff - Galiano's Oceanside Log Chalet

2 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Sturdies Bay, Galiano

Located on Active Pass, the spectacular marine passage separating Galiano and Mayne islands, InTheBluff - Galiano’s Oceanside Log Chalet offers one of the most stunning outlooks in the Southern Gulf Islands. The area is known for its strong currents, often turbulent waters and array of wildlife - look out to eagles soaring, seals, sea lions and otters frolicking in the swirling currents and orca whales in their natural element. Even humpback whales pass by regularly. We very much appreciate and encourage land-based whale watching.
InTheBluff is a very unique and wonderful escape, an artisan log home atop an oceanfront cliff and amongst over 6 private acres characterized by Garry oaks, Arbutus, Douglas fir and Cedar trees. The beautiful log home has all the modern amenities one could desire, including Wi/Fi & HD (antenna/smart)TV. Two bedrooms (each with queen size beds) offer comfort and separation. The master is upstairs with a private balcony overlooking Active Pass. InTheBluff very comfortably accommodates up to four.
The decks are stunning. It is difficult to imagine a more beautiful spot to lounge, watching eagles soar, and just maybe, orcas pass.
InTheBluff’s kitchen is well equipped, featuring an old style Heartland country stove and oven, microwave, toaster oven, and dishwasher. Cuddle in the living room by the Tulikivi (soap stone) wood burning fireplace, lounge on one of the the decks with a good book and enjoy some evening Netflix in the comfortable TV loft.
For the avid nature explorers, reaching the gorgeous ¼ mile long beach below is particularly convenient as the Matthews Point Beach Access trail is immediately adjacent. This is just the beginning though as the Matthews Point Regional Park Reserve, essentially an extension of InTheBluff, connects directly with Bluffs Park with its array of trials and vistas. Mt. Galiano is also linked by an evolving island trail system - remember your water, good hiking shoes and camera!
InTheBluff is a non-smoking, no pet retreat. We consider ourselves an un-official sanctuary for all local wildlife, most particularly deer and a huge array of birds. The property is perfectly situated for some of the best hikes the Gulf Islands have to offer or for just sitting back, breathing the fresh island air and taking in the stunning views any time of the year.
When reviewing our availability, please keep in mind that we are a full house rental, so our minimum stay is three nights (average is five to ten nights), and we do not accept bookings with single nights left between stays.

Summary: Such a lovely spot. Beautiful view, well appointed, very comfortable!

Summary: This is an incredible property. The beautiful log cabin is situated high on the cliff overlooking Active Pass. It is so private, you will see the local deer pass by, but that is it. The home has everything you could ever use, very well stocked, spotlessly clean with a beautiful stone fireplace for those cooler nights. This is the best place for sitting down and enjoying a book. So peaceful. There are several sun decks, (beautifully built and so nice on the feet), that you can sit out on watching all the activity below - BC ferries, fishing boats, pods of killer whales, eagles soaring - it goes on and on. Always something to enjoy. Full exposure for those sunny days. Great walk down to Matthew’s Beach; the trail from the cabin gets you there in less than 10 mins. Incredible sandy beach at low tide. The hot tub is excellent with a glass of wine later at night. Never seen an infinitely edge hot tub before but it maximizes your view. We have visited this property several times - our #1 special occasion vacation spot, if we can get in. The Owners are first class, communication is clear and timely. They know the island very well and can recommend so many outings. Highly recommended.

Summary: Amazing location to get lost from busy life. The whole island is full of places to explore. The Cabin itself is on a huge forested lot, overlooking the ocean and its own path to a secluded beach. We will be back.

Summary: It doesn’t get any better than this!! Lawrence and Janusz are wonderful, they do everything they can to make your stay the best it can be! The cabin is stunning and they have thought of everything! There was ice made, fire built and music playing to welcome us on arrival! Kitchen was great, we cooked all dinners there ( has the best view in town) Then there’s the view! It is mind blowing! Pics don’t do it Justice! Tons of wildlife and we were even lucky enough to see a pod of orcas go by! This place is truly magical! Sturdies bay is wonderful too. A couple of little grocery stores with a good selection as well as alcohol. We also got take out from the black flying dog and babes in the woods pizza, both were excellent! The Sturdies bay cafe for coffee, sweet and savoury treats is also a must!! It is amazing there and the staff is wonderful! This was the best vacation ever!! Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Lawrence and Janusz!!!
