Ocean, Islands, Mountain View. Ferry & boat traffic. Hot tub. Private & gated.

Welcome to The Denby Cabin on Pender Island. ***Prior to booking, please read through the description and rules to ensure that this property is suitable to what you're looking for, taking into consideration that this is a family home and we have put in a lot of hard work into making it a peaceful family retreat. We want you to have a great time enjoying all that the island has to offer while being respectful of your surroundings (we are in a protected area), our home and our neighbours.
Please respect our rules: Pet free - Sorry, we love pets but are not set up to accommodate. Please note that SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED on the property. Parties/events are strictly not allowed. No candles or open fires. Guests listed on the reservation are the only ones permitted in the home.

Here are some descriptive info about the property:

The Denby sits on a high bank overlooking the Swanson Channel, a major pathway for Orcas & Humpbacks that will often swim close to the bank as they pass by. You will definitely want to keep a look out!. Your views consists of the Olympic mountains, Moresby Island which lies straight ahead, while Vancouver Island is just beyond. Stuart Island and the San Juan Islands to the left. Salt Spring Island to the right. The property gets full picturesque sun rise and sunsets. The Island's ferry traffic are a dreamy sight all lit up at night. This beautiful scenery is visible from the open concept living room, the fully equipped kitchen, and continue on to a main deck and patio with BBQ & hottub. A separate TV room along with a laundry/pantry room & full bathroom with tub, completes the main floor.
The upper level leads to the master bedroom (king bed) with it’s own private deck. There are also two additional bedrooms, they each have one queen bed. There is one full bathroom on this floor.
Your space consists of a fully fenced yard and parking spots just outside of the main gate. Park by shop and follow the winding pathway to gate. From there, you will have full privacy of this gated section.
We are about twelve minutes from the ferry terminal. Minutes to Driftwood shopping centre, restaurants, public beach access, marinas including Thieves bay (whale watching), golf & disc course, & trails. The boat nook is a wonderful place to visit and is only a 12-15mins walk, or a few mins car ride.
There is a propane fire pit that is available for use providing that you fill the propane tank as needed. There may be instances where the option of a propane fire might not be available and we will communicate this to you. There is absolutely no candles or any other flammable items permitted on this property. Thank you for your understanding. Please reach out if you have any other questions. We look forward to being your hosts!

Just another 5 star review!
Absolutely recommend staying here, it’s even better than the online reviews suggest. Four friends had more than enough room to eat, drink and be merry in Denby cabin! The house is so comfortable and well appointed it’s easy to settle in and start having fun. Best hot tub spot, with the most breathtaking view.

Stunning views
The house is in a great location with stunning views. It was perfect for our family (grandparents, parents and two little ones) with plenty of space and facilities. The owners were really helpful. And then there's the outside , the wildlife is impressive, during our short stay we were lucky enough to see deer, humming birds, bald eagles and a pod of Orcas swimming just below. Finally, i should not forget to mention the back wall of the yard which would interest any amateur geologists visiting. We really had a great stay..

Just what we needed….
A great home with all that we needed for relaxation, comfort and convenience. Views were amazing and the hot tub was used twice a day! Comfortable bedrooms and 2 lounge areas gave our family of 5 plenty of space to be together or find a quiet corner to read a book.

Pictures do not do this special cabin justice
We loved this cabin the moment we opened the gate and we sad to leave upon locking up at the end of our stay. It is private, quiet, clean, well appointed, and comfortable for our group of 5 to spread out and relax. The views are just incredible at all times of the day and regardless of the weather. Thank you for a peaceful stay, we will return.

Beautiful space and gorgeous views
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The pictures don’t do it justice. The kitchen was very well equipped and the space in general was very comfortable. The view from the decks can’t be beat with lots of wildlife around that kept us entertained. Vernisa is a great host that responded quickly when we had questions. We loved our stay here - 2 nights was too short. Hope to be back sometime soon!

The cabin is meticulously clean and amazingly well-stocked. The view is absolutely stunning! We loved relaxing in the hot tub on a cold, stormy night. We’ve crossed Pender off our list of islands to visit but I can’t imagine never getting to stay in this wonderful place again. 😊

Beautiful view, relaxing stay
We had a wonderful visit, the view was second to none and the property was quiet and private. Nice to have a bit of yard space for the kids to play. The house is comfortable and well appointed, and we were glad there were not a lot of knick-knacks to worry about the baby getting into. Very well supplied kitchen and pantry. Hot tub overlooking the sea was wonderful. Fridge needed a little clean, but place was otherwise spotless. Slept our family of 6 comfortably. Would absolutely recommend.

We loved it. The view with unbelievable. The hot tub on the deck was amazing. It was a snowy, stormy, rainy Christmas, but completely magical. The hosts were fantastic in communicating with us.

Spectacular Views and sunsets!
Our family had the opportunity to visit Pender Island and our accommodations were really great. The home was well stocked with dishes, appliances and bathroom toiletries. It was very clean and well maintained. The view of the ocean from the front deck was absolutely incredible, saw some Orcas and the sunsets were really beautiful. The only thing that we would request from the owners is to have screens on the patio doors and the bedroom windows. We loved the fresh ocean air and breeze, but it was challenging as there were plenty of wasps during the day and mosquitos at night. Otherwise, I would highly recommend for a very quiet, relaxng getaway.

Delightful Denby Cabin
The Denby Cabin was a fantastic property with incredible ocean views. The owners thoughtfully provided every possible amenity, to make you feel at home. The kitchen was well-appointed, the beds and linens were very comfortable and the hot tub was a wonderful surprise. The entire house was spotlessly clean and reflected the pride that the owners have in their home. The online photos accurately reflected the interior of the house, the outside areas and the views. The owners were quick to reply to any questions we had.

Peaceful Pender Retreat
We had a lovely time at this property! It is quite something to wake up to this amazing view every morning. We enjoyed soaking in the views from the deck and our boys loved being able to dip in the hot tub at the end of the day. The place is organized and clean, kitchen is well stocked, and it was a perfect location for our yearly Pender family getaway!

We spent 4 nights at this incredible place. The moment we walked in, we were awed by the the most stunning ocean view. The property itself is in immaculate shape, everything we needed was there, nicely labelled, in perfect condition, and spotless-clean. Place is kids friendly too. We will definitely recommend this property to all of our friends and family and should we find ourselves back at Pender Island, needless to say we will try to rebook. Cheers, Sasha
