⚠️ Important Notice to Our Guests & Public in Chims Cabins - Port Alberni Google Maps Location ⚠️

It has come to our attention that someone has intentionally changed our Google Maps location, placing us far from our actual location and sending people out into the middle of nowhere. 😡

This is not only disrespectful, but it is also creating major issues for our guests, delivery drivers, and anyone trying to find us.

We have already submitted a correction request to Google, but unfortunately it may take at least 24 hours for the location to be restored.

In the meantime, please double-check your directions before heading our way. If you are unsure, don't hesitate to contact us directly 250-724-4746 and we'll be happy to help guide you.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while Google works to correct the issue.

To the person responsible: this has caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience for many people. It wasn't funny, and it certainly wasn't cool.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to let us know about the problem. We look forward to welcoming you safely to the right location 🙏🏼

Chims Cabins located at 6880 Pacific Rim Highway. Approx 3 min from Riverbend Store

Meet Chims Cabins-Portalberni Original Cabin 🐻

Our Bear Cabin is the largest cabin at Chims Cabins, offering approximately 575 sq. ft. of space to spread out and relax.

🐻 čims (C with a v-shaped accent above it) means bear in the Nuu-chah-nulth Barkley dialect. We added an "h" to create Chims, making it easier for guests to spell and pronounce while still honouring the meaning behind the name.

🏡 Bear Cabin Features:• 1 Private Bedroom• Full-size kitchen• In-cabin laundry• Private covered deck• Queen bed in the bedroom

Need extra sleeping space?

🛋️ The Bear Cabin includes a double pull-out couch, which many guests find more comfortable than a traditional hideabed.

🛏️ We can also add a twin folding cot, helping families and small groups stay together while avoiding the cost of booking a second room.

• Double pull-out couch: $25/night• Twin folding cot: $25/night

These small fees help cover the additional laundry, linens, utilities, and cleaning required for extra guests.

🐻 The Bear Cabin is named after the bears whose environment we built within. Throughout the year, bears can occasionally be seen walking through the property and the field beside us, inspiring both our cabin names and some of the décor you'll find inside.

✨ Enjoy beautiful bear-themed décor, the comfort of a full-size kitchen, and the privacy of your own self-contained cabin.

📅 We have availability this weekend—book your stay and enjoy everything Port Alberni and Vancouver Island have to offer!

🏡 Stay somewhere with a story.
📸 Look what we just got to see today at the back of the property!

🐻 čims means bear in the Nuu-chah-nulth Barkley dialect 🐻

The traditional spelling includes a č (C with a v-shaped accent above it). We later added an “h” in our business name to help make it easier for guests to spell and pronounce.

🐻 Chims Cabins was named after the bears that walk through our property and the field beside us. Our cabins are also named after the wildlife you may see during your stay.

🐻 We named our original cabin- Bear Cabin — our largest cabin at approximately 575 sq. ft.• 1 Bedroom• In-cabin laundry• Full-size kitchen• Private covered deck

Seeing wildlife here is part of the West Coast experience and something many guests remember long after their stay.

NOTE: the bear will be more scared of you and usually runs away to find the safe space

As part of our check-in process, we remind guests to always be aware of their surroundings — which is simply a good habit anywhere on Vancouver Island — because bears do occasionally pass through the area.

📸 Look at this beautiful čims captured walking near the property.

🏀⚡ What a Wonderful Long Weekend in Port Alberni! ⚡🏀

This past weekend, we welcomed both first-time visitors and returning guests attending the annual Tseshaht Lightening Tournament.

There were two things we heard repeatedly:

⭐ "This is the nicest accommodation we've stayed at."📅 "We'll be back next year."

🏆 Sports play such an important role in the lives of our youth. Events like the Tseshaht Lightning Tournament bring athletes, families, coaches, and supporters together while creating lasting memories both on and off the court.

❤️ The positive impact extends throughout Port Alberni. Accommodations across the city were sold out, local restaurants were busy, businesses welcomed visitors, and most importantly, our youth had an opportunity to compete, connect, build confidence, and have fun.

📅 Our booking calendar is only released so far in advance. If you're hoping to return for next year's tournament—or have another future event you'd like to attend—please let us know and we'll add you to our contact list when those dates become available.

A huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, coaches, athletes, families, and supporters who helped make the weekend a success.
