The Moosewood - Sunshine Valley Retreat

Welcome to Sunshine Valley! Nestled among the old growth forest of the Cascade Mountains is our cabin, The Moosewood. A true mountain getaway, to be enjoyed in all 4 seasons! 15 minutes from Hope and only 35 minutes to Manning Park Resort, our cozy cabin is the perfect launch pad for all your outdoor adventures. Prefer to stay inside? Nestle in with a good book, fire up the wood stove and wile the day away!

This is a cabin in a treed mountain setting and is thoughtfully designed to be a relaxing retreat for you. Cozy and charming, but with all the comforts of home. Experience cabin life at its best, and have as much or little adventure as you like!

For cozy nights in, take advantage of our games cupboard, books and smart TV with Netflix. The more adventurous can explore the outdoors and all the back country has to offer. Don't forget to check out the nearby town of Hope (12 min away) where you can find all the services you would need, but with small town charm and character!

Although The Moosewood has electric heat, be sure to take advantage of the cozy wood stove. We've left it stocked with plenty of wood, kindling and paper for your stay. Stoke that fire, and enjoy the crackle and pop of the wood stove heat!

Other things to note
This cabin is located in the mountains, on the hillside. In the winter, tire chains may be needed to climb the last 100 meters up the hill (which is plowed regularly). There is a snow shovel on site, and it snows in the mountains! You may need to use the shovel to clear your path to the cabin, if there has been a fresh snowfall.

It can be cool outside, especially at night. Be sure to pack warm clothing options!
