Leecroft Haven

Nestled on 15 acres of second-growth forest south of Quathiaski Cove, and less than 10 minutes from the Quathiaski Cove ferry terminal on Quadra Island, this spacious and private retreat offers a rare blend of comfort, nature, and accessibility. The home sleeps up to 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, making it well suited for family gatherings, multi-generational stays, creative retreats, and small workshops.

This is a place designed for connection rather than crowds.

Surrounded by alders, maples, and evergreens, the property feels deeply immersed in nature while remaining close to island services. It is private and quiet, yet never isolated.

A Home Meant for Gathering

Inside, generous common spaces invite shared meals, conversation, music, and evenings by the fire. A warm wood stove anchors the home during cooler months, while large windows bring in southern light, garden views, and the changing moods of the seasons. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming—comfortable rather than polished, grounded rather than formal.

This is a home where people cook together, linger at the table, read, talk, and reconnect.

Outdoor Living & Deck Space

A large wrap-around deck is a favorite gathering place for guests—perfect for morning coffee, long dinners, music at reasonable hours, or simply watching the light change over the forest and seasonal ponds. When conditions allow (and fire restrictions permit), outdoor fires are possible, alongside a barbecue and ample seating.

An Active Homestead & Seasonal Gardens

This is an active rural homestead, home to chickens and roosters, along with seasonal vegetable beds, herbs, and fruiting plants. It sits in an in-between space—more alive than a simple garden, but not a commercial farm.

Depending on the season, guests may enjoy access to fresh vegetables, herbs, or eggs, and the experience of seeing food growing right outside their door. Because this is a living landscape, guests should expect natural sights, sounds, and smells that come with animals, gardens, and wildlife. Those with allergies or sensitivities should take this into account when booking.

Trails, Forest & Beach Access

The land itself is meant to be explored. Numerous walking trails wind throughout the forested acreage, connecting gardens, ponds, and natural clearings. A walking path leads down through the property to rocky shoreline and beach access, offering space for quiet reflection, tide-pool exploration, or simply listening to the waves.

Guests often remark on how easy it is to lose track of time wandering the trails—whether letting children explore safely, walking solo, or moving through the land at different times of day as light and sound shift.

A Place That Changes With the Seasons

Each season brings something distinct:

• Winter fills the ponds and brings mist, storms, and a cozy indoor rhythm by the fire.

• Spring arrives vividly, with blossoms, fresh growth, and loud frogs calling from the wetlands.

• Summer offers long evenings, outdoor meals, swimming, forest shade, and garden abundance.

• Fall brings calm, golden light and a quieter pace.

If you are seeking absolute silence, this is not that place. What you will hear instead are birds, frogs, wind in the trees, ocean sounds, and the occasional rooster—the sounds of a living landscape.

Thoughtful, Not Disconnected

Wi-Fi is available, though many guests find themselves naturally unplugging—reading, cooking, walking, talking, and resting. This home attracts people who value presence over pace, and who treat the space and land with care.

This is not a party house. It is a place for laughter, music, meaningful conversation, shared meals, and reconnection—best enjoyed by guests who appreciate nature, community, and a slower tempo.

If you’re looking for a setting that supports bonding, creativity, rest, and renewal, this retreat offers a grounded and memorable Quadra Island experience.
