About the host
Hosted by Joe Isaac
G̱ilakas'la! We're Joe and Jenna, a local ʼNa̱mǥis family, and we're honoured to welcome you to our home. For us, hospitality isn't just a business; it's a multi-generational legacy.
Our story is deeply rooted in 'Ya̱lis (Alert Bay). Jenna's grandfather, the late Gordon "Gordie" Peterson, was a true local icon who began his entrepreneurial journey here in 1969. Over his 94 years, he served as the Mayor and was a pillar of the community, known for his heart of gold and his unwavering commitment to the village. In 2018, we proudly took the reins of his company, Peterson Ventures Ltd., to ensure his 50+ year legacy of hospitality and community service continues to thrive.
Our hosting philosophy is to offer the perfect blend of professional comfort and personal connection. We've designed our properties as serviced apartments, meaning you get the privacy, space, and independence of a private home, combined with the essential comforts of a hotel, like quality linens and toiletries.
As virtual hosts, we've set everything up for a seamless self-check-in and an uninterrupted stay. We both work full-time jobs serving our community, so while we respect your privacy, we are always just a quick message or text away. We love sharing our home and are passionate about connecting our guests to the vibrant, living Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw culture that makes this place so special. We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property
We didn't just choose this neighborhood; it chose us. 'Ya̱lis (Alert Bay) is our ancestral home, a place where our family's roots run for countless generations as part of the ʼNa̱mǥis First Nation. What we love most is that our neighborhood is not a manufactured tourist town—it's a living, breathing community with a powerful sense of history and culture at every turn.
The scene here is breathtakingly wild. From our properties, you can watch eagles soar, fishing boats cross the Johnstone Strait, and sometimes even catch a glimpse of passing orcas, all against the backdrop of Vancouver Island's majestic mountains. The air is fresh, the ocean is a constant presence, and the pace of life is intentionally slower.
What we truly enjoy is the vibrant cultural landscape. This is the heart of the Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw territories. You can feel it when you walk along the waterfront and see the towering totem poles, or when you visit the world-renowned U'mista Cultural Centre, which tells the profound story of our people's resilience and the return of our stolen treasures.
For us, the best part of living here is the connection—to the land, to the sea, to our history, and to our community. We chose to build our lives and our business here to share that unique and powerful connection with our guests.

What makes this property unique
What makes our properties unique is the combination of authentic local history and a modern approach to hospitality. Every stay becomes part of a 50+ year family legacy, offering a storied connection to the island.
First, we offer a true serviced apartment experience. Unlike many rentals, our suites are designed for complete independence without sacrificing comfort. Each unit features a well-equipped kitchen or kitchenette, giving you the flexibility to prepare your own meals. We provide all hotel-quality linens and toiletries, and for longer stays, we offer optional weekly refreshes. It's the privacy of a home with the thoughtful provisions of a hotel.
Second, each of our properties has its own distinct character and story:
Gordie's Waterfront Apartments are located in a piece of living history—the childhood home of local legend Gordie Peterson. Staying here places you in the absolute heart of the village and its story.
The Founder's Vista Suite is our premier tribute to that legacy. It's a spacious, top-floor apartment with panoramic ocean views, offering a unique way to experience our history.
Cliff Haven on the Bay is a private, standalone cottage that embodies the wild, natural spirit of the island. It offers unmatched seclusion and inspiration, perfect for a peaceful retreat.
Finally, our virtual host model is unique. It’s designed to give you complete privacy and a seamless, independent experience with self-check-in. But unlike absentee hosts, we are a local family, present in the community and always just a quick message away to provide authentic, knowledgeable support.
The combination of our deep historical roots, hospitality, and genuine local connection is what we think truly makes our properties stand out.
