Spending the night in a wooden sphere suspended in the trees of the Rainforest is a great adventure. However, be advised that there is no bathroom or shower in the trees. We stayed in Eryn and after having been in a king-size bed for the previous three weeks, it was a bit tough. One of us would have climbed up... More

A few friends and I decided to stay in the spheres after seeing them featured in the book "Bed in a Tree." We were after a unique BC experience and definitely found it here. The proprietors were very welcoming and friendly and the spheres were cozy and comfortable. Even the wind storm in the morning didn't feel threatening inside our... More

This was by far one of the most amazing trips we have had to date. Everything about the Sphere is handmade, right down to the custom door hinges. The Melody sphere surpassed out wildest expectations. I can't remember a night that we ignored all technology, had a glass of wine, and played a game of scrabble. The Sphere was a... More

This was the most amazing place I have ever stayed at. It was very cozy and peaceful. I thought it would be a neat experience, but I didn't anticipate quite how calming and comfortable it would be. The bed was extremely comfortable and I had a great sleep. Highly, highly, highly recommended!! More

We had a fantastic night in the spheres. It was a lot of fun and very memorable. The Melody sphere was a great and the attention to detail was beautiful. The location as well is lovely as the spheres are not too close together and face a small lake, there were also deer wandering around when we were there. The... More

This was an experience that will be memorable for a lifetime. Staying in a sphere was comfortable and novel, but more importantly it was peaceful, serene, and harmonizing. You have to experience it for yourself, and then you will most definitely be back. More

This was a very memorable vacation. I can't say enough good things about the tree spheres! The hosts have thought of everything - and were so accommodating and friendly! Their welcome basket was the perfect touch. We only stayed for one night - but we had such a great time. There are no toilets in the spheres, but well equipped... More

we stayed in Melody on the first night of a Vancouver Island trip, and could not have been more pleased. Melody is built like a well designed boat... everything you need or want is tucked away inside is wonderful floating room. More

We absolutely loved our stay in Eve (the original and smallest of the spheres on the property) and would come back in a heartbeat the next time we are on the Island. Of all of the experiences of our two week trip to Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and the Okanagan Valley, this was one of our favorite stops. Tom and Rosey... More
