Welcome to Calm Chaos, your exclusive retreat nestled within the stunning Cowichan Valley, part of one of the last wild life refuges left in Maple Bay.

It offers an extraordinary fusion of comfort, nature, and funky vibe —a space and property where modern luxury seamlessly blends with the tranquility of nature.

Boasting two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a flexible separate office space that can easily transform into a cozy third bedroom (the Harry Potter as our guests call it can be bdr #3 has a cot for extra guests). This accommodation provides an intimate and adaptable environment for your stay. The cabin's recent renovation showcases a galley kitchen with a remarkable 10-foot live edge counter, lovingly crafted from an ancient Douglas fir that once graced the property. We've put a lot into make this place unique. Funky is what we hear.

A NY loft style spiral staircase leads to the second bedroom, complete with its own private deck, offering a serene spot perfect for moments of contemplation or simply taking in the awe-inspiring surroundings. The cabin seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty surrounding this picturesque hideaway.

The highlight of this sanctuary is its expansive deck, extending the living space outdoors, featuring an outdoor kitchen with a top-of-the-line barbecue—an ideal setting for culinary adventures. Enhancing the relaxation experience, there's a luxurious hot tub where you can unwind and indulge in sweeping views of the neighboring horse farm. Whether it’s soaking under the stars or enjoying an al fresco meal, the deck provides the quintessential backdrop for creating unforgettable memories.

An added bonus, the office space (some refer to as the Harry Potter room because of it's unique decor) with its separate entrance and deck (plus a secret passage way from the upstairs bedroom), provides a versatile oasis for work or moments of tranquility, further enhancing this already charming retreat.

The estate's thoughtful seclusion is accentuated by an 8-foot fence and an imposing medieval iron gate, where exclusive access is granted through a dedicated app. Owned by passionate world travelers, collectors, and tech founders, the property seamlessly blends rural tranquility with the convenience of high-speed internet spanning the entire estate, including the back area with a serene pond and a delightful gazebo.

The estate is adorned with the playful presence of five vibrant macaws and six friendly cats, adding a touch of warmth and whimsy to the surroundings. Though a couple of discreetly placed security cameras ensure safety, the essence of th e estate remains firmly rooted in the peaceful seclusion of the countryside.

Beyond the cabin, an invitation awaits to explore the estate's natural wonders—a forested expanse, a tranquil pond, and charming gazebo areas—urging guests to embrace the beauty of nature that surrounds this unique escape. One of the residents was a world traveler and the estate had antiqueties everywhere. You might think you are at a higher end episode of American Pickers. :)

We really enjoyed the uniqueness of the space. The owners really have shared amazing collector items; some of significant age and others from travels and then just cool stuff!

Sprawling property with lots of eclectic fixtures. A walk around elicits one “wow” after another. The carriage house was lovely, very cozy, we used the hot tub on the deck every evening. Kitchen well equipped for most cooking, having pantry items available if needed was great. Bed on main floor very comfortable, but room was missing a door. Second bedroom upstairs lovely as well, but requires a firm resolve and a good sense of flexibility to access it via the spiral staircase. Fancy bidet toilets with heated seats were a treat! The only thing missing for March visitors was a coat rack by the front door along with a boot tray.
