Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Tucked into the forest canopy on Bowen Island, the Wildwood Cabins are authentic, hand crafted post and beam cabins built from local and reclaimed timber. Each cabin is clad in natural and charred cedar and is blended into the sword ferns, cedar, hemlock and fir trees that surround it. A Jotul woodstove, flannel sheets, vintage books and board games and a Nordic wood-fired barrel sauna are your tools for connecting with the simplicity of life in the woods.

Nest. Explore

The space
Wildwood is a 5 acre property covered by lush forest with panoramic south westerly views of the Pacific Ocean from the rock bluffs behind the cabins. Each cabin offers a private experience with peaceful views of the forest throughout. A Jotul woodstove, hand split firewood harvested from the property and a Granfors Axe are stocked for your stay. Le Creuset cast iron pots and pans will be a welcome companion in the kitchen. Vintage books, games and artefacts collected from travels across Canada, as well as a three piece bathroom, high quality queen mattress and flannel sheets complete the interior.

The Nordic wood-fired sauna is exclusively available to guests and the Yogaloft yoga studio on the property is also available for drop in classes($20)or can be arranged for private practice. There is an outdoor firepit on site and Cabin 1 now has a built in bbq on the side deck.

We supply superb fresh ground coffee(no mud water here;), organic olive oil, tea, salt and pepper. If the cluckers are laying, we're proud to pass a few beauties along for your enjoyment. We also will provide you with our "Locals List" of recommendations from 25 years of first hand experience.

Centrally located, the property is within walking (or stumbling) distance to Bowen's two cideries, as well as Alderwood Farm or Meadowbrook Market for food or supply stock up. The golf course is less than a 10 minute drive and several of Bowen's best beaches and trails, as well as the cove, are the same.

Wildwood Cabins has been featured in numerous photoshoots, including Lululemon and Lush. It has also hosted several retreats and weddings. If you have an idea, we are listening.

Whether you are seeking inspiration, escape or looking to nest or explore, there are answers in the quiet, simple moments of life in a cabin in the woods.

Lives in Bowen Island, Canada
I’m Reg and these are the Wildwood Cabins. Crafted and authentic, each cabin is nestled in the woods of the Pacific NW and glazed like a maple donut with Canadian heritage. I have lived in the forest on Bowen Island for over 25 years and like you, I felt the call to escape to the simplicity, peace and staggering beauty of life in nature. I answered my call, now it’s time to heed yours. “Into the woods I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
