Maroon yourself on Nelson Island for a month! Forget time and scheduling worries. Sun comes up, sun goes down. Eat when ever you want. Outdoor dining is the norm.
Go maskless! With 2 1/2 acres, two buildings, plenty of decks and docks, miles of trails for hiking with 2 warm water lakes and swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing, etc. you'll get back to life. Enjoy nature and each other. Nothing else really matters. Forget your wallet but bring your supplies! Enjoy life.
We have some rarely used public access parkland. Strata lots have become coveted family legacy properties. Most of the bay is protected from the prevailing south-easterly winds. Access to the island is by boat or floatplane. There is no hydropower, roads or public services. Water taxi service is available, or dare take a floatplane with stunning aerial views of the coastline, all the way from downtown Vancouver, YVR, or even Seattle!
For over 30 years, Alistair Palmer has continually expanded and upgraded the buildings, docks, and services. This is an off-the-grid accommodation. We generate renewable energy every day from a solar system that powers everything! We even have four flush toilets that effectively use a septic field.
Recreational activities, serenity, bonding, creativity, and nature are the primary reasons to come here. There is much natural and rugged beauty within eyesight of the cabin. Explore our backwoods by trail. If you are a birder, writer, photographer, yoga practitioner, meditator, painter, star-gazer, windsurfer, paddle boarder, hiker, snorkeler, scuba diver, kayaker, cliff jumper, into fishing, mountain biking, swimming or even beach combing, this is for you!
This is a special retreat for those wishing to take a break from city dwelling, the fast-paced digital world, or to reconnect with their inner self, their partner, family, and friends. It’s a chill zone with nature zen-like vibes.
