3 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Tiny Secrets! The ocean view trailer was as described and we got to see some of the other cute places our friends were staying in and they were all lovely.

Weekend Trip to Duck Creek Farm

We had an absolute blast at Sue's farm! We basically had an entire private area to ourselves in the tee pee and it was the perfect little getaway for me, my spouse and my dog. They were very welcoming and even had a pretty cool jewelry. Fair. The one afternoon. We explored the whole property and we're really happy with our decision to stay. I definitely recommend upgrading to the tee pee as it was the perfect balance of camping and comfort.

1 night at Secluded Forest Oasis, Maple Bay BC

Calm Chaos Forest Retreat is a very unique property located down a calm and peaceful road in beautiful Maple Bay. With a few acres to explore, the property offers enough space to go for a walk in the forest, visit the neighbouring cows and resident wildlife, have a fire by the pond, or simply relax in the passionately renovated trailer. The trailer itself has all one could need, with a comfortable bed, kitchen, running water, TVs, AC, etc. Within the trailer’s fenced courtyard, there’s a hot tub, lots of covered and uncovered patio space, a bbq, and more. The yard itself is an open air museum of sorts, with lots of statues and memorabilia to take in, made clear by the two large parrots that greet you when you arrive at the property. And speaking of parrots, there’s four real-life, living macaws co-hosting alongside the charming human hosts, Steven and Mimi. The macaws are not only beautiful, but full of personality. Nearby Maple Bay offers a nice beach to swim and relax at, as well as a pub, hiking trails, and disc golf. Overall, Calm Chaos is a really eclectic place worth a visit.

Weekend Trip to Duck Creek Farm

Amazing!! Sir was lovely and friendly. The farm is gorgeous and the TP is super comfortable. It rained pretty hard both nights and we were cosy and dry the whole time. I will definitely come back :-)

Weekend Trip to Strongwater Camping and Cabins

Cheyenne is a beautiful soul. My best friend at I stayed in the “Loft Two” Cabin for one magical night. The hobby farm was so peaceful and designed with love. Our cabin was a little peace of heaven, washrooms were beautiful, animals were delightful and the skookumchuck bakery cafe down the street was delicious. Highly recommend walking to the skookumchuck rapids and watching the kayakers!

Weekend Trip to Island Gertie

Loved staying at Gertie, super relaxing and great spot! The cats were a great addition as well

2 nights at Strongwater Camping and Cabins

Cozy cabin with lots of privacy. We enjoyed sitting on the porch after our hike. Bring some loonies for the shower - we only thought of it at the last minute and we didn't find a stash of loonies in Egwater...

3 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

Certainly a hidden gem with all types of campsites available on the hill side.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

Loved the A-frame cabin. Private and cute. They provided us whatever we needed; Water, ice packs, propane tank, and even extra firewood. A bit chill at nights but ok.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

1 night at theDoighouse Earthship

We had such an amazing time in the cabin at the Earthship. Susan was an amazing host. The cabin was cozy, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We loved the tour of the Earthship given by Susan and highly suggest anyone staying to take the tour! I'd love to thank Susan for an amazing time and a wonderful stay!

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Cabin

A lovely stay! The space was wonderful and Christian was an awesome host. We will definitely be coming back.

Weekend Trip to Bunkie Glamping in Cowichan Valley

Great amenities! A warm shower after a long day of riding was a perfect remedy before sleep.

2 nights at Island Gertie

Paige’s rental was perfect for my three person family. The outdoor space was serene and the two cottages were beautiful and cozy. We appreciated all of the artful touches. The beach and coastal trail are a three minute walk - both drop dead gorgeous, the trail, a runner’s dream. Thank you so much Paige!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

We had everything we could possibly need in this quaint little cabin!! It was nice and toasty at night time. The site handyman was never far away should we need anything. Perfect “glamping” scenario!

Weekend Trip to Portal Retreat

Our stay at this charming mini cabin turned into a memorable trip! Being surrounded by stunning views of trees and the chirping of the birds chirping, it felt like we were in our own little nature retreat. The canoe ride is a must! Paddling on the lake and watching the sunset was magical. My only gripes were spotty network and the porta potty. If you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway, we highly recommend it!

Weekend Trip to Strongwater Camping and Cabins

We fully enjoyed our stay at Strongwater Campground! The cabin was clean and comfortable, and had everything we could need, including a heater, fan, and mini fridge. The campground felt safe and everyone was super friendly. The washrooms were all very clean, including showers, which required loonies to operate. We recommend doing the Skookumchuck trail (8km round trip) and visiting the Seafood food truck and the bakery! Overall, the campground was very charming and cute, and we would fully recommend a stay here.

1 night at Strongwater Camping and Cabins

Staying at Strongwater Campground and Cabins was an absolute dream! Shyann is truly one of the kindest people we’ve ever met - she made us feel so welcome and at home. We stayed in the Treehouse cabin, which was adorable and just perfect for our needs. The campground itself is peaceful, well-maintained, and has everything you could need. The amenities were clean and thoughtfully kept, and an added bonus were the sweet animals roaming around to say hello! One of their lovely dogs, Rainney, even came by to visit us while we enjoyed our evening fire - it absolutely made our night. Thank you, Shyann, for your warmth and generosity. It was such a pleasure to meet you, and we will return soon 100%!

1 night at Island Gertie

Super cute spot! Great access to Whalebone beach and lots of animal friends around the property! The bus itself was very clean and comfortable, made for a wonderful stay with my partner. Would come back!

Weekend Trip to Duck Creek Farm

The tipi was great! Such a beautiful property, fell asleep to the frogs and woke to the birds, Sue was very communicative and the instructions were easy to follow, no problem on the driveway with a small hatchback.

This property was purchased nearly half a century ago. For the majority of this time the forest section you will be camping in was left undeveloped, apart from a few mountain bike trails. Recently, as a family, we have seen a large increase in the people traveling to the Sunshine Coast to escape the city limits. Unable to rock up to a campsite and pick our spot like we used to, it was easy to see a growing demand. We have taken everything we love about camping and done our best to give you a sense of what life on the Coast is really about. Please note: By entering onto the property you release all liabilities towards us as hosts. You are choosing to camp in a forested area that contains many hazards as well as potential threats. These include but are not limited to; Wild life (bears, bob cats, cougars etc), Fire is a serious threat to this region during summer months strict no smoking policy is in effect. Care should be taken walking around uneven surfaces. All campers are required to stay within camp boundaries fail to follow these protocols will result in being asked to leave.

Have you ever imagined a house built from tires, dirt, pop cans and glass bottles? Our Earthship, currently under construction, is all about exploring a low-impact lifestyle, off-grid living in an energy-efficient dwelling built from recycled materials. Love for the planet and people and sharing of abundance make this project come alive, and why we don’t increase our rates for holidays and long weekends. Book a private Earthship tour where Tony will spend a couple of hours with you, sharing theDoighouse project and answering any and all questions you may have. We also offer workshops and other onsite activities. For more info, check out our website: www.thedoighouse.com/ On arrival, you will be greeted by Bentley (our standard poodle), Mabel (mouser extraordinaire) Come visit, tour, and stay. Susan and Tony Doig
