Nestle in to our walk-in private 'Pond Cabin' located on our 40 acre mixed farm on beautiful Quadra Island.
This idyllic 160 square foot, wood stove heated, cabin overlooks the largest pond on our property. The private site boast a glorious on-demand hot water outdoor shower and covered outdoor kitchen.
Walk beside our grazing sheep, goats and chickens and visit our forest raised pigs on your way to the cabin. Contact us to book a farm tour and regenerative agriculture introduction. Farm fresh eggs, and a variety of other products from the farm are available including (assuming they aren't sold out) our famous sausages.
Solar power provides you with all the lighting, shower-water pressure and technology charging you will need for your stay. There is no refrigeration onsite at the moment but access to a farm fridge can be arranged.
Quadra Island was recently rated by Forbes Magazine as #5 on its most up and coming travel locations in the world. It is the second largest Island off the West Coast of Canada second only to Vancouver Island itself. Endless recreational opportunities abound on the island. Hundreds of kilometres of hiking and mountain biking trails crisscross the island. Several guiding companies give provide access to the world class kayaking and scuba diving off of Quadra's shores.
Do all that... or simply grab a book and curl up beside the pond.
*** Winter Comment***
The cabin is winterized. The stove is actually to hot for the size of the cabin. It requires a little practice timing your fire and opening windows to keep it at the best temperature. Since we are all 'Hip" here... it just adds to the adventure. :) Oh yeah... bring boots. :) About once a year a rainstorm intense enough to overflow the stream you need to cross to the cabin overflows. In that case it is a bit of challenge getting there.Foot Forward Forest Farm is a nascent permaculture inspired regenerative farm with sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, geese and more. Camping locations are well ensconced in the forested areas bordering our pastures. There are acres of forest to explore but more than likely campers will be drawn to the endless outdoor pursuits of Quadra Island.
Parking is within our gates and campsites are a short 100m walk away across a bridge and pasture to the forest edge.
An communal outdoor, kitchen and fire pit are located overlooking our pond.
An outdoor composting toilet is in the works and will hopefully be completed soon.
