Beautiful off the grid property. Well stocked, very clean, hot tub requires pre-heating but worth the wait

My family and our 2 dogs loved it on Forbidden Plateau! The cabin and property were exactly what we were looking for. Quiet and private but close enough to one of our favourite places to visit- Courtenay-Comox.

The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, with thoughtful touches that any professional chef would appreciate. The wood fireplace kept the house warm and cozy, and the view was fantastic.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Forbidden Plateau but do not feel like the cost and fees were appropriate. We were greatly disappointed with the lack of communication from the host. We messaged them four times over two days (via VRBO and the phone number provided) before they vaguely responded to us, and did not answer or address our inquires. We traveled with a 2 year old and expected the crib that was in the posting picture to be available. There was no crib to be found on site, and we never received a response about this. This was stressful as there are lofts and stairs in every room. Thankfully we had packed a blow up mattress, just in case, and were able to move furniture to block the stairs. The kitchen has an excellent selection of spices and cookware, but no other helpful cooking necessities, so definitely stock up on bases. The house, view, porch, hot tub, property, and surrounding areas were all incredible and we loved hiking from the house. The beds were soft and comfortable and we truly felt relaxed after our stay. We unfortunately would not stay here again as the total cost of this stay was almost triple our other stays in Comox Valley and had a third of the amenities, supplies, quality of items, and convenience.
