Description
We have a small 14 acre hobby farm in beautiful Bowen Island BC. Our island is absolutely stunning with restaurants, cafes and beautiful beaches. Bowen Island is only a 20 minute ferry ride to Vancouver BC. We currently operate a B&B out of our farm house. We have three suites total. There are 2 in the main farm house and the third is a tiny house; they all have amazing ocean and mountain views. I take pride in decorating so each suite is beautifully appointed and a very nice space to spend time in.

Accommodation
We have an all season RV that we purchased specifically for a worker to help us. It is large (10x30)and has a living room with a fireplace, kitchen with an island and a separate bedroom. The RV is placed down the road from the main farmhouse to give you privacy and your own space.
What else ...
Our property has amazing hiking trails and access to nearby beaches. We are 7 minutes drive to town and also on the bus route if you don’t have a vehicle. Our farm is located 200 feet above sea level which is why we have such spectacular views. We do have a long, windy and steep driveway to get to the RV and the main farm house. If you do not have a vehicle this is something to consider as you would have to walk up and down the driveway when your going into Snug Cove. Any able bodied person can do it, it takes my young daughters around 5 min from the street to our house; however, if you have leg or back issues our farm wouldn’t be the right fit for you.
