Raven's Rock - Bowen Island

RAVEN’S ROCK – Private Home
We’d like to welcome you to this magical place, perched high on a rock overlooking the cove, the ocean and the Lion’s peaks of the mountain range across the ocean to the north-east. The house was built over bedrock with split levels that meld with the landscape and integrate with the forest, the valley and the terrain. The living areas are spacious, yet cozy, nestled privately amongst mature trees. A large wrap-around deck provides outdoor living areas, offering peeks of the distant ocean and mountains, and allowing you to commune with wandering deer, woodpeckers, wrens, crows and, of course, ravens.

The house is an easy 5 min. drive from the ferry terminal in Snug Cove. It is possible to walk up from the cove but a bit challenging for most. A bus can bring you ¾ of the way up the main road. Most prefer to have a car to get around the island and enjoy the beautiful scenery, beaches, trails and shops and restaurants. Beautiful hiking trails are directly accessible into the Singing Woods valley, down
to the Cove or up to the Valhalla Heights with spectacular views to the south and east, or to make your way down to Artisan Square shops and restaurants, and to hitch a ride back up the hill.
The house offers plenty of scope for relaxation, cooking, reading and immersing yourself in nature. 2 private bedrooms and a loft provide accommodation for up to 6. There are books, games, and entertainments systems available for your use.

Bowen island is a true west coast experience, while being easily accessed from Vancouver. It is ideal for outdoor enthusiast or anyone who would enjoy relaxing in a private, natural environment. Activities on the island include hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming and the summer months include a number of festivals, art shows and community events. The immediate area has been likened to the
enchanted forests in Tolkien’s novels, and you may find yourself immersed in the Singing Woods, landing at Eowyn Lane and wandering up to the Rivendell retreat and 360 degree view to the surrounding mountains and ocean.
Please be advised, starting in 2021, it will be illegal to use wood-burning fireplaces and stoves between May 15 and September 15. Violators could be fined $10,000 for each day in contravention.

Please do not move any furniture and please no shoes inside the house.

Dogs only upon request and only non-shedding dogs for an additional charge. A penalty of $500 will be applied if this rule is not followed.

Feels like you’re in a treehouse!
Beautiful cottage feel with comfortable modern amenities! The view from every room is breath taking, it feels like you’re up in a tree house. Our kids loved it too, and the host was very easy to communicate with- professional and friendly! Would definitely recommend and would book again!
