We live on five remote acres on BC's "Sunshine Coast," in the home we built from the very wood this land graciously provided. It is a unique hexagonal design that has been modified and added onto as our needs have changed. The guest cabin is just down the fern lined path, past the bubbling pond, beyond our house. |
| Over the years we have planted an eclectic mix of fruit trees, vines and bushes; vegetables, perennials, annuals and herbs within a circle carved out of the towering forest. |

We have meandering trails weaving though the property ending up at a secret garden where we are sometimes lucky enough to spot a deer, an elk, owls or hummingbirds. Gazing upwards we find we are under the huge branches of an over eight hundred year old Douglas Fir tree. The yard is filled with huckleberries, currants, raspberries, blackberries and salmon berries providing a constant supply of berries from Spring to Fall. |
| Our guest cabin is comfortably arranged with chairs and a coffee table and an ensuite bathroom with a shower. The centerpiece of the cabin is Ken's great- grandfather's (read about him here) incredibly cozy, antique sleigh bed. Beside the cabin is a terra cotta outdoor hearth. No T.V., stereo, vcr or phone to distract us - in fact we have never owned a T.V. |
