Meet Jen & Joel

Since meeting, we’ve always made it a habit to explore new areas to unplug and reflect on the year. Over the last couple years, we’ve visited Whistler, Tofino, Kelowna, Victoria then eventually, Bowen Island.

And we fell in love with Bowen right away.

  • the sun deck on the ferry ride

  • the pasta & pizza at Tuscany Restaurant

  • the 100s of walking trails

  • the dozens of ocean beaches

  • the croissants at Tell Your Friends Cafe

  • And the super friendly locals

So on our 2nd visit, we thought to ourselves — “what if we could build a restful retreat location for people similar to us?

We started brainstorming locations, chatting with a realtor and mapping out areas of the island we love.

One thing led to another and eventually we found a cabin to make our own. We took possession then

  • ordered the sauna,

  • did some landscaping,

  • built a home gym,

  • found some e-bikes,

  • added some fireplaces/tile work,

  • brought over an espresso machine

  • and batta bing, batta boom, we were in business.

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from your day-to-day routine, we’d be honoured to host you on Bowen.
