Galiano Island’s Bodega Ridge Opens Brand New Property, Bodega Cove

These warm summer weekends are perfect for jumping on a ferry to relax at a sweet cabin somewhere awesome. Usually around this time of year everything worthwhile has already been booked up, but we’ve got some good news: everyone’s favourite Galiano Island getaway, Bodega Ridge, has just opened the doors at Bodega Cove. From owner Jesse Keefer:

“Our new boutique property on the seaside, the Cove, is for independent travellers looking for a unique Gulf Island experience. The five iconic Panabode cedar cabins were constructed in 1969 and painstakingly restored to make them into something entirely new and memorable. There are two designs: romantic one bedroom units and more spacious two bedroom cabins ideal for two couples or a small family.”

Think comfy beds, free standing soaker tubs (showers too), fully equipped kitchens, cedar decks, and fireplaces – all nestled in a forest clearing a minutes from the ocean. Because the cabins launched mid-summer, there is still some availability. For details, check the Bodega Ridge website here. Days of beach combing and forest hikes await!

    1. I have many wonderful memories of Bodega Ridge’s original canins. The new ones look very inviting. Looking forward to returning after a 20 year absence! A magucal

    2. I’d love to buy one of these cabins for a guest house if they are prefab can you send me the name of the people that built them?

    Taking a “Timeout” for Tequila

    When I travel, I seek out places that reward curiosity, where you can eat your way through a neighbourhood and pick up on the culture without needing a guidebook. That’s why I quickly said "yes" when La Mezcaleria invited me to join their team trip to Jalisco, Mexico.
