theDoighouse Earthship

Welcome to theDoighouse Earthship, an eco-retreat nestled in the forest, minutes from Qualicum Bay waterfront. 

Our location is a haven for adventurers and peace-seekers alike, offering easy access to the natural wonders of Vancouver Island. An hour north of Nanaimo, our property is an ideal base for day trips to Hornby, Denman, and Lasqueti Islands. Many of our guests stop here for a night or two on their way to and from the mainland to Ucluelet or Tofino for world-class surfing, or if skiing is your calling, Mount Washington is just a 45-minute drive away.  

Spend time discovering forest trails, a children's playground, and a bike park here in our neighbourhood. Lighthouse Country area teems with opportunities for exploration, from pristine beaches, including Sunny Beach and scenic Spider and Horne Lakes. Or if you climb, consider the Horne Lake Caves! If you're into hiking, use your All Trails App to discover the Lighthouse Country Trail (at our doorstep), including the Wilson Woodlot and Lost Runners Trails. Urban legend has it that the running shoes were lost, not the people wearing them! 

You can pitch your tent in our gardens, park your RV on the forest's edge, or stay in our cozy tiny cabins. Wander our gardens and check out a young permaculture food forest filled with fruit and hazelnut trees, berries, and good stuff! 

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.

On arrival, you will be greeted by Bentley (our standard poodle), Mabel (mouser extraordinaire) 

Come visit, tour, and stay.

Strongwater Camping and Cabins

A magical experience awaits you on the majestic Sunshine Coast of British Columbia near the Village of Egmont. Nestle into our modern rustic cabins or set up camp beneath the towering evergreens.  We, your hosts, and our yard-full of farm friends live just up the hill, but we sneak out often to welcome our guests. 

Strongwater Camping and Cabins offers bookings year-round. Choose from our 8 rustic cabins or 8 large campsites to accommodate your next  relaxing get-away or refreshing retreat.  Bookings are usually a 2-night minimum. 1-night may be available at the discretion of the Hosts. New to our accommodations are the SkookumBus and a Glamping Tent (summer only)! 

Our hand-built cabins provide a simply magical experience, with warm, comfy beds and bedside table, a fan for summer or a heater for winter.  Nearly every cabin features a small table and chairs and a mini-fridge plus an outdoor fire pit and a picnic table.  The cabins’ decks are surrounded by forest.  Firewood is available for $30/wheelbarrow on site when available (unless we have a fire ban.)
All campsites include the fire pit and picnic table.

Everyone has easy access to the spa-like washrooms with coin-operated hot showers and flush toilets. Children 8 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult in the Wash house. There’s a dish washing station in the center of the Wash House where you can refill your water jugs and bottles or wash dishes. Please do not use for washing hair or laundry or tooth brushing.  We ask that you conserve water and keep the Wash House clean.

If a peaceful experience is what you seek, enjoy the restful, soothing atmosphere of the forest. Learn to really appreciate the simple things in life. Take in the mountain, ocean, and lake scenery. Fishing, canoeing, or just lying on a beach. Sitting on the deck of your cozy cabin, reading a book or soaking in the magic.

If you are a thrill-seeker, then adventure awaits on the turbulent waters of Skookumchuk Narrows, the rapids for which our magical place is named. Skookumchuk is an old Chinook word meaning Strong Waters. There’s a timetable for you to consult to catch the tides at the best times.   Follow the link below. 

Hit some rigorous trails on your mountain bike, hike through forests, up mountains, or at oceanside. Take a wild ride to untouched wilderness with our neighbouring Adventure Boat Tours.

Sonora Island Cabin

3 bed Cabin built on a bluff among the maples. Cabin includes 3 double beds. One is a private room and two up in the loft. 

Boat access only! Sonora island does not have a ferry. We are currently only accepting booking from folks who have access to a private boat. Once on the island it is a 3-4km walk down the main road (which is usually muddy if there was recent rain) to the cabin. 

No service and no wifi. Make sure you arrange your pick up before being dropped off. 

Guests need to be fit to hike up to the cabin.

This is a unique fully remote and off grid escape that is not for everyone! Please reach out if you have any questions! 

Pack in your own bedding/ sleeping bags. 5 minute walk to our private gravel beach over looking the ‘Hole in the Wall’ rapids. Our water reservoir that collects from a near by creek, feeds the house. Boiling before drinking advised. Also included in the cabin is two wood stoves, Propane stove for cooking, hot water on demand and solar power make this get away completely off the grid.

Gathered farm and florals

We are a family owned and operated biodynamic veggie farm that backs onto a salmon-bearing creek. We have many trees to hang a hammock or a slack line. We are a 2-minute drive from a sandy beach, 5 minutes to a river with cliffs for jumping and 20 minutes to city centre.  You can leave the property by bike and enjoy many local mountain bike trails or strap a canoe to the roof of your car and be at a lake in 15 minutes. We offer guided wild foraging tours and farm tours. We would be happy to supply you with farm-fresh foods to make your stay more enjoyable.

We have 1 campsite available for tent or SMALL RV campers. Vehicles under 20ft only. It is a pull-in site that requires levelling. No hookups are available at this time. 

Campfires are permitted (when no BC fire bans are in effect) and pets are welcome. Potable water is available. 

Come up to the farm and enjoy some fresh berries as the sun is setting.

Our property is located in qathet regional district on the Sunshine Coast. The qathet region is surrounded by natural beauty and adventure. It is home to the Sunshine Coast Trail and Forest Canoe Route and world-class rock-climbing opportunities in the Eldred Valley. 

We look forward to hosting you.
