If you've ever found yourself stuck in city traffic on a Friday afternoon dreaming of mountain air and quiet trees, this one's for you. Mt. Nest is a brand-new modern cabin tucked into Sunshine Valley Estates — a gated community 15 minutes from the town of Hope, 30 minutes from Manning Park, and just two hours from Vancouver.
It's cozy. The kind of place where you slow down, leave your phone on the counter, and remember what a quiet morning actually sounds like. Here are ten reasons it might be your next favourite escape — or your next smart investment.
It's truly turn key.
Mt. Nest was built in 2024 — modern, quality construction you can rely on from reputable local builder, the Gore Brothers. No need to worry about any repairs or updates. You move in, you turn the key, you exhale.
A quarter acre, surrounded by mountains.
11,250 sqft of land, nestled amongst the trees and surrounded by mountains. Enjoy a morning coffee or yoga on the private patio, take a nap in a hammock, roast marshmallows by a crackling outdoor fire, or play a round of corn hole with your family.
The sounds of birds and gentle wind rustling in the trees and fresh mountain air create the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
The cabin pays for itself.
Airbnb is allowed in Sunshine Valley Estates, and Mt. Nest has been a hit. A "Guest Favourite" in the top 10% of eligible listings on Airbnb based on 56 reviews. Generating $30,000 in just seven months of 2025 — roughly $1,400/month of cash flow on a property under $650K. A real estate scenario that's getting harder and harder to find in BC.
Whether you want a weekend retreat that pays its own way or a pure investment property, the math here actually works.
A gourmet kitchen that makes you feel right at home.
A stunning, modern kitchen that offers a large island with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and lots of cupboard space. A space that makes you feel right at home, even when you're at the cabin.
Indoor and outdoor open concept living.
Doesn't matter if you're in the kitchen, dining room, living room, or on the patio — all of the spaces are open to one another. Great for hosting and connection.
Room for the whole family.
A large, spacious driveway with room for your vehicles, your guests' vehicles, and even an RV. Whether it's a quiet weekend with the family or a packed long weekend with the whole crew, parking is never the problem.
Marshmallows by nine.
Mt. Nest is the rare cabin you'll actually use. Two hours from Vancouver. 45 minutes from Chilliwack. 30 minutes from Manning Park's gondolas, lake, and trails. And just 15 minutes from the town of Hope for groceries or a dinner out.
Leave the city after work on a Friday and you're roasting marshmallows by 9pm. That's a different kind of cabin.
The lease structure works.
This is a leasehold property — but it's a 999-year pre-paid lease, which functionally means: you pay for it once, you own it for nearly a millennium. Total monthly fees are just $109.08 (water, garbage, maintenance, trail upkeep). No annual lease payments. No surprise fee hikes. No strata drama.
Built for retreats.
The patio is made for sunrise yoga. The sauna is made for the in-between moments. The fire pit is made for the close of every day. Mt. Nest is the kind of intimate, quiet setting that does most of the work for you.
Whether you're a wellness coach, a breathwork facilitator, or just hosting a meaningful weekend with your closest friends, the space lends itself naturally to small group retreats — without ever feeling like a venue.
There's a sauna.
Yes, a real sauna. After a day of skiing at Manning, hiking the local trails, or splitting wood for the fire, you walk back into your own private heat session. It's the kind of detail that feels excessive, but absolutely essential.
