Description
This is the kind of cottage that invites you to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the easy rhythm of Hornby Island. Set on a private half-acre lot just a quick stroll to Hidden Beach, this well-built 765 sq ft year-round cabin offers that classic “come to the cabin” feeling. Thoughtfully updated with low-maintenance living in mind, it features a metal roof, front and back decks, rainwater collection, and a composting toilet. Inside are two bedrooms on the main floor, including a primary bedroom with access to the back deck, plus a cozy sleeping loft. The simple galley-style kitchen is efficient and practical, while the living room offers comfortable space for family and friends to gather. A bathroom addition includes a shower, sink, washer/dryer, and composting toilet. Summer living extends outdoors with dining on the large back deck. Spend your days at the beach, biking, hiking, or exploring Hornby, then wander down the road to catch the sunset.
