Bear Cabin - Chims Cabins

You pull off Highway 4 on the west side of Port Alberni and the road noise just stops. The Bear Cabin sits on its own, private entrance, private patio, no shared walls, and the first thing you notice walking in is space: at 575 square feet, this is the biggest cabin at Chims, and it feels it.

Sleep in Comfort A queen bed anchors the one-bedroom layout, with a heat pump in both the bedroom and main living area so the temperature is yours to set year-round. When you need more beds, a double pull-out couch and a twin fold-up cot bring the cabin to five, arranged for you ahead of arrival when you flag the guest count at booking.

Gather & Unwind The full-size kitchen comes stocked with pots, pans, utensils, a Keurig, and the basics you'd otherwise buy on day one, plus a dishwasher so nobody spends the evening at the sink. In-suite laundry means you can pack light for a week or a month. A 42-inch TV with Netflix handles the wet Vancouver Island evenings, and the private patio handles the good ones.

Adventure at Your Doorstep You are five to ten minutes from downtown Port Alberni and the last accommodation before Sproat Lake on the road west. Tofino and Ucluelet are about 90 minutes on, close enough to make a full day of Long Beach and come back to a real kitchen. Cathedral Grove, Mount Arrowsmith trails, and the Alberni Inlet fishing runs are all inside an easy morning's drive, and the Tseshaht Market deli up the highway sorts out breakfast.

Thoughtful Touches Step-free entry throughout, so no stairs to negotiate with luggage or gear. Deadbolt locks on every unit. One dedicated parking spot comes with the cabin, and there is room for a truck, boat, or trailer if you let the office know ahead. Fresh bedding and towels, shampoo, conditioner, and soap dispensers are already there.

Family-owned, quietly run, and built for people who want a clean, self-contained base rather than a hotel corridor.
