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. Glazed like a maple donut with Canadian heritage, the cabins are a long standing favourite of both local and worldwide travellers.
Each cabin offers intimate views of the surrounding natural elements. The 5 acre property is covered by lush forest with panoramic south-westerly views of the Pacific Ocean from the rock bluffs behind the cabins.

Each of our four cabins is clad in natural and charred cedar, seamlessly blending into the sword ferns, cedar, hemlock and fir trees that surround it.
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, board games and artifacts collected from travels across Canada, as well as a three-piece bathroom featuring local products and high-quality queen mattress with flannel sheets in the colder months and organic linen in warmer, complete the interior.
THE cabins
Wood-fired sauna
Roast in the Nordic wood-fired barrel sauna or summon the forest spirits at the outdoor firepit. Guests are free to roam the property and access trails, viewpoints, and outside seating areas.
YOGA IN THE LOFT
The Yogaloft studio on the property is available for drop-in classes or can be arranged for private practice.
PRIVATE EVENTS & PHOTO SHOOTS
We have hosted events & weddings, as well as photo and video shoots for Lululemon, Lush, Goodland, Netflix and other brands. If you’d like to discuss bringing your creative idea or memorable event to life in our forest, we can make it happen.
The Wildwood Cabins are centrally located, within walking (or stumbling) distance to Bowen's two cideries, as well as Alderwood Farm and Meadowbrook Market for food or supply stock up. The golf course, several of Bowen's best beaches and trails, as well as the cove are less than a 10 minute drive. We supply superb fresh ground coffee, 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’ll also provide you with our "Locals List" of recommendations from 25 years of first hand experience.
