Relax at a cabin rental near Powell River after hiking, scuba diving, or island hopping.
Nestled in the mountain terrain of the Sunshine Coast and surrounded by dozens of islands, Powell River has boundless options for exploring the untamed wilderness of BC. Settle into a cabin rental near Ruby Lake, likely equipped with toilets, showers, and wifi, then take a trip to Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park—an hour north of Powell River—to spend sunny summer days kayaking, swimming, and scuba diving in underwater kelp forests. For more adventure, head across the Strait of Georgia to Vancouver Island. Off-grid cabin rentals near Campbell River are another option, as many offer cozy details, firepits, and private beach access to hunt for crabs and mussels. Spend a day island-hopping to get back to the mainland—Texada Island, Hornby Island, and Savary Island offer charming local shops, hiking trails, and soft sandy beaches. Cabin campers visiting Powell River in the rainy winter months can find a cozy cabin rental equipped with a wood stove to warm up after a day of exploring.
