1 night at Comox's Little River Bay Hip Camp

This is our second overnight stay. We really appreciated the site, location and great hosts. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

We stayed in the renovated school bus for the weekend. The whole property is like a magical little get away and the bus was comfy and cozy during the rain :) The owners were friendly and the dogs and chickens kept us entertained. Come for a weekend to enjoy some of great hikes in the area or just take the time to rest in this little paradise- you won’t regret it!

Weekend Trip to theDoighouse Earthship

Lovely couple, well kept campsite. Very peaceful and welcoming. Highly reccomend camping here!

1 night at Comox's Little River Bay Hip Camp

A great place to spend an evening. We walked the waterfront and enjoyed the fenced off and private campsite. Received a warm welcome. Thank you

4 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

We stayed in the A-frame micro-cabin for 5 days. We are already dreaming of our next visit! Despite getting the "atmospheric river" vacation treatment, it had virtually all the amenities you could ask for in for a rainy day of off-grid living. It was beautiful and felt quiet (minus all the chorus frogs at night :D) and luxurious. The hosts were responsive and friendly, we even got some doggo time as they let their dogs roam near the chicken coop. Couldn't ask for a better "glamp" experience!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

I loved our stay on this magical school bus! Karen and Tito had the bus cleaned and ready before we’ve arrived. They provided us with clear instructions and a guide for our stay. Although I did not get a chance to meet them, they were extremely communicative through text to ensure we arrived safely. This is one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. I also had the best sleep of my life! I would recommend this to everyone that is looking for a glamping experience.

2 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

The bus is adorable and cozy! There were some issues, apparently caused by some recent inclement weather, but the hosts are incredibly sweet and were very responsive to fix things as they came up. The "magic sack" was an especially nice touch to help unwind, and that bed is insanely comfortable! Many thanks to Karen, Kito, and Amos.

25 nights at Decourcy Meadows

I love this spot. Quiet and serene in nature. Hosts are the best - what more can be said. Just love it.

1 night at Sea Change Farm and Nursery

Loved tenting here, host was super reliable to contact, the campgrounds are well kept, and they even let us borrow a hatchet when we forgot ours. I would absolutely come back again.

1 night at theDoighouse Earthship

Cozy and clean, we loved our stay in the cabin. Cubic stove kept us toasty and all the amenities were there to keep us comfortable. Hosts are friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommend the add-on tour of the earth ship !!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

Had a great little stay at this cozy micro-cabin! Nestled in the woods and private. Karen and Kito were both kind and helpful hosts. We’re looking forward to coming back in the summer!

1 night at theDoighouse Earthship

Great site! Amazing hosts and and incredible earthship to tour. We will be back.

2 nights at Sea Change Farm and Nursery

27 nights at Decourcy Meadows

I love the site at Decourcy Meadows and the hosts are simply the best.

4 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

I cannot express enough how special my stay at Karen and Kito's Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat was. The Cabin's are unique and very well designed for comfort, fun features and a joy to stay in with windows all around for viewing the forest. The Micro cabin was a cozy, healing space for me with environmentally respectful features such as rainwater collection for the sink and water filter, compost for food scraps and compost outhouse. The layout of the farm's cabins and tent sites is sensitive to the natural layout of the land and creative touches are everywhere. I am definitely coming back again for a beautiful and restful stay. Thank you Karen and Kito.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

I loved the Schoolie. We stayed there for two nights but would have been happier with much longer. It was cozy, warm (even in December), and had everything we needed - from kitchen supplies to wifi. The hosts were gracious, generous and responsive. And the sunset wasn't bad either. It was a beautiful escape and I'll treasure the memories. Would certainly recommend. Thank you :)

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

The converted school bus itself was charming and cozy, blending creativity with comfort. One of the highlights was the fire in woodstove, which added both warmth and a delightful rustic touch to the stay—perfect for those cool evenings. The surrounding nature was equally impressive, offering tranquility and beauty in every direction. It’s the ideal spot for anyone looking to unwind and connect with the outdoors. Highly recommended for a unique and peaceful getaway! Dear Karen And Kito I wanna say Thank you again for this beatiful time.

Putting the final touches to the cabin garden.

1 night at theDoighouse Earthship

I had a lovely time at theDoighouse Earthship in the Maple Cabin! I was only there for one night, however, it was a really fun experience! They have put so much work & love into creating such a unique off-grid property. I was throughly impressed by everything they had! The Maple Cabin is cozy & inviting. It's the perfect size for 1-2 people! The bed is very comfortable & had very warm bedding (which was very welcomed as it was quite chilly the night I stayed!) Susan provided a quilt that her mother had made, which I thought was such a lovely touch. I hope to come back at some point in the future and spend a bit more time here!
