This is a special place

We’ve traveled to sixty countries and this has been one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed. Wonderful hospitality from the hosts with bits of their personality throughout. They’ve thought through everything you might need and more. We absolutely loved our stay. Thanks to Michael and Bean for creating such a wonderful retreat.

Lovely Airstream

Had a great time at the Wildernest. Perfect name, all the amenities a couple could need for a private celebration of life on Bowen plus many surprises like vinyl records, access to all the popular streaming services, lots of goodies to enjoy and super hosts who made us feel welcome. Loved staying here and would definitely recommend.

Valentines gift to my partner

We had a lovely 3 night stay, the airstream was great for the rain and the sun, and the amenities were incredible! It felt like we got to play rich for a few days, and get away from our every day life stresses.

Beautiful. Playful. Spotless.

We loved our Wildernest getaway! It was such a fun adventure arriving on site and wandering up the lit path to our little piece of paradise. The Airstream was beautifully decorated with a playful vibe. The whole property was spotless and thoughtfully laid out. Highlights included soaks in the outdoor tub, listening to some vinyl, late night movies in bed, complimentary snacks/staples, and an awesome set of kitchen knives!!

Love in the Wilderness

Mike and Bean's airstream is a treasure on Bowen Island. They took such great care of every detail to ensure their guests have the ultimate experience in nature yet spoilt by their thoughtful gestures and amenities. Mike offers the best in providing guest service and exceeding guest expectations. From his amazing taste in vinyl to delicious treats we highly recommend Wilderness Airstream! We will be back again!
