The Sanctuary

With the nearest neighbour more than 400 yards away, Eagelnest Sanctuary is the ideal place for family vacations, romantic getaways, group workshops, rejuvenating retreats, and more. Eaglenest Sanctuary is nestled in Vancouver Island’s rainforest, sits alongside the Koksilah River, includes groves of old growth trees, and is a short walk to the historic Kinsol Trestle.

Eaglenest is a very secluded and private, recently renovated, 3500 sq. ft house. It has 1 queen bed, one double bed, 6 single beds and 2 bunk beds, 3 showers, 3 toilets, 1 bathtub.

There is a living room that seats 17, a smaller “conversation nook” sun room that is ideal for breakaway meetings, or stretching out in the sun with a book. There is both a wood stove and heating to keep you comfortable inside after spending a day exploring the area outside. The kitchen is fully stacked and operational, including a dishwasher, sink, large refrigerator, and electric range. There are laundry facilities on site, and linens and towels are graciously available for use.

All rentals include internet and housekeeping.

The house is also complete with a large multipurpose room that is perfect for yoga, circles, receptions, meetings, media, music, or whatever larger functions you wish to hold. Attached to the multi-purpose room you will find an indoor custom made sauna to rest your muscles and bones for deep relaxation.

Renters have private access to 800 meters of riverfront, with two swimming holes, three gardens, 4 ponds, three miles of paths through the rainforest and old growth, a traditional sweat lodge, and a medicine wheel. The yards are open and spacious, and even include a beautifully handcrafted wooden stage, a great place for outdoor gatherings and events. There is a most beautifully creative deck and an outdoor grill to enjoy the lovely sunny days and evenings.
