Sapling Cabin
Sapling Cabin/Airbnb
The Sapling Cabin in Ucluelet is a charming two-storey tiny home filled with features typically found in larger homes: a hot tub, stainless appliances, and a king bed, all set in a rural setting close to town amenities and just 500 yards from the Pacific Rim National Park. You must book a three-night stay here.
Cost: $350+ per night
The Elderwood Yurt
Elderwood Yurt/AirBnB
This amazing yurt in the Comox Valley and only seven minutes away from the base of Mount Washington is what the owners call an “Elven Retreat.” With stunning architecture, a skylight, a living room, two bedrooms, and a kitchen, the Elderwood Yurt is among six acres of gardens, fir wood, and bee-pasture in the Comox Valley. It’s a three-night minimum stay when booking.
Cost: $192+ per night
Cob Cottage
Cob Cottage/AirBnB
This cottage was built to blend in with nature and was built by hand with clay, sand, and straw. It fits two guests, requires a two-night minimum stay, and is a highly sought-after accommodation. Mayne Island is a small Gulf Island community with one bus, so, the owners offer pick-ups and drop-offs from the ferry!
Cost: $192+ per night
Old School Bus B&B

It doesn’t get much more Vancouver Island than this: this school bus has been converted into a tiny home on a whimsical garden property near Sooke, just off the Galloping Goose Trail. This is truly a place to unplug as there’s no WiFi inside the bus. The outdoor space includes a covered deck with seating, a propane BBQ, a hammock in the trees and a private fire pit area. It can sleep up to two guests with a loft bed and one bathroom.
Cost: $186 per night
